Shipping Notes for the February 26th Erector auction.
We want to take a moment to outline a few modified shipping policies that we will have in place for the Saturday February 26th auction session. These guidelines apply only to the Erector items, and trains will be shipped as normal Due to the weight and size of many of the set and our desire that they arrive safely in the hands of the proud new owners we offer the following guidelines:
1. The larger and heavier items will shipped using a UPS store, not from Stout Auctions. The billing and costs to ship will be direct from the UPS store not from Stout Auctions.
2. We are able to ship the larger store displays and movie props but due to weight and size they will also ship through the UPS store but will probably ship via freight.
We highly suggest that you make arrangements to attend this sale in person if you plan on bidding on any of these items. That is by far the safest method and it is fun to boot! If you have questions on a specific item, please ask before the sale.
