Nothing is handed to a fulfilment centre. The same people who catalogued your piece wrap it, box it and drive it to the carrier — because a costume that survived a production should survive the trip to you.
Within 48 hours of the sale closing, listing every lot with hammer price, the 28% buyer's premium and tax calculated on your delivery address. Shipping is not on it yet.
Due within seven days. Card and bank transfer clear fastest; checks, cashier's checks and money orders must clear the bank before anything is released.
Once funds clear we pack your lot, weigh and measure the finished parcel, and send you a shipping quote for the real box — not an estimate taken off a chart.
Pay it and we book the label the same day. If you would rather arrange your own carrier, say so and we will hold the packed lot for collection instead.
Tracking is emailed the moment the label is created. Your serial-numbered Certificate of Authenticity travels inside the box.
A working estimate, so you can budget before the hammer rather than after. Your real quote comes from the packed box — sometimes less than this, occasionally more on an awkward shape.
Most single wardrobe pieces to a US address land near $46.
FedEx Ground or USPS Priority, whichever suits the box. Tracking on everything we send.
When a lot says special shipping required in its description, it is too large, too heavy or too fragile for us to send in-house — a stencilled crate, a full set piece, a mannequin-mounted costume.
You arrange a third-party shipper to collect it from us. We crate it, hold it, and release it to your carrier. Ask and we will send you a list of shippers who collect from us regularly.
It is not something we sell, and we would rather say so plainly than bury it. What we do instead is pack properly — double-boxed where it matters, rigid support inside the garment, corners protected.
If you want a piece insured in transit, arrange it with your own carrier or broker before we ship, and tell us so we can declare the value correctly.
All sales are final, so a shipping surprise is the one thing we would rather you never have. Tell us the lot and where it is going, and we will price the box before you raise your hand.
