International Shipping
For our bidders outside of the UK, we offer international shipping with Royal Mail. Where available, we use Tracked services for added security and visibility. Please note: We are no longer able to purchase postage to the European Union ourselves. We can, however, still post your items to the EU if you provide your own prepaid shipping label. We are also able to post to destinations throughout the rest of the world, including the USA (please see the notes below).
International Shipping Zones
Europe Union
Due to recent changes in EU packaging and import regulations, we are no longer able to purchase postage to EU member states ourselves.
We are, however, still happy to post your items to the EU provided you supply your own prepaid shipping label. We will package your items and attach your label ready for dispatch - we simply cannot be the party who purchases the label.
Alternatively, EU buyers are very welcome to arrange their own courier to collect their items from us. For either option, we offer a packaging-only service for a fee of £2 - please see “Arrange your own courier” below.
(Non-EU European destinations, such as Switzerland and Norway, may still be available - please contact us for a quote.)
USA
We are happy to post to the USA. Please note that, in line with Royal Mail’s rules, a tariff will be applied to your invoice for shipments to the United States.
Rest of the World
We are happy to post to destinations across the rest of the world. Shipping costs are provided on request, depending on the destination, weight, and value of your items.
The maximum insurance cover Royal Mail offers for international parcels is £250. If your parcel exceeds this value, please note that any amount above £250 is sent at the buyer’s risk. We are happy to split items into multiple parcels to increase the overall insurance cover.
Alternatively, you are welcome to arrange your own courier. We offer a packaging-only service for a fee of £2 if you choose this option.
Extra packaging charges may apply to fragile items or those requiring additional protection. If you would like extra packaging as a precaution, please email us at [email protected] quoting “Extra Packaging”.
Before requesting shipping, please ensure your items are not prohibited for international delivery. You can check using the link below:

In addition to checking Royal Mail's prohibited list, please ensure that the customs of the destination country will allow the entry of the goods.
Each country has different restrictions, therefore this responsibility lies with the customer to check before bidding.
Please note that any customs duties, bank fees, taxes, or import charges are the responsibility of the buyer and are not included in our shipping costs.
Please ensure you include your surname, bidder number, and sale date as shown on your invoice when making payment or contacting us, so we can process your order efficiently.
For international payments, we recommend using Wise for a quick and reliable transfer.
