Shipping Antiques

Our success at shipping antiques is based on the quality of our packing. All antiques are packed to exacting standards, using proven techniques and packing materials, all managed by our experienced technicians. Fragile items, and all items shipped by airfreight, are packed into robust custom built timber crates, ensuring your valuable antiques arrive in the same condition they were shipped.

Our tailor made service for shipping antiques is popular with private and trade buyers alike. For the trade antique buyers we deliver a ‘Buying Pack’ to your hotel in the UK. . We also offer a ‘Buyers Account’ facility, where we issue cheques to the antique dealers on your behalf upon collection of your valuable purchases.

As an extra service, when your shipment arrives, we can unwrap the shipment and remove all packing materials leaving you to enjoy your antiques immediately from the day they are delivered.

Buyers Pack

For trade buyers, we will deliver our Buying Pack to your accommodation ahead of your arrival. The pack is an ideal way to take away the headaches with buying from different locations.

Simply use the pad to record your purchases, and give each item it’s own identifying number. Write this number on the pre-printed labels we also provide, and attach it to the item. The Purchase Order pad is self carbonating, so you can leave one copy with the dealer, one for your records and the originals should be sent to us at the end of your trip, so we can start to plan your collections.

Buyers Account Facility

Cut down on your bank charges and administration by using the convenience of our Buyers Account facility. At the end of your trip, simply transfer funds to us to cover the total cost of your expenditure, and we will then draw up a cheque and deliver it by hand to the retailer or dealer when we make the collection. We then send you a fully itemised statement detailing every transaction.
