Postage charges:
We offer a dispatch service for your lot. This service includes administration and collection of lots; bespoke packaging (provision of packaging materials for the lot and the box, plus labour – see rates in our Terms and Conditions); and dispatch via our partner carrier.
This is a service we offer; you may also send us your own packaging and your prepaid shipping label.

Purchases may only be collected once payment has been made, including all fees and taxes, upon which a payment receipt will be issued by the accounts department of BALSAN ENCHERES. Only this duly paid document will allow you to collect your items. Please be aware of bank transfer processing times; if you wish to collect your lot quickly, please opt for an instant transfer.
You can collect your lot from Monday to Friday, 9.00 am to 12.00 pm and 2.00 pm to 5.00 pm, by booking an appointment to avoid long waiting times on site.
