Shipping Address (Important)
To expedite shipping, we recommend payment by Visa® or MasterCard®, cashier's/certified check or money order.
Standard shipping charges include our packing fee and the cost of shipping with insurance (based on current UPS or USPS fees). A handling fee may be charged for packages that must be taken to the Post Office.
Our account with UPS provides for a daily pick up, therefore no handling fee applies to packages shipped via UPS.
Special requests for alternate methods of shipping may result in an additional cost to you.
We offer professional packing and shipping services. All packing is done in-house. What we do NOT ship
DEADLINE TO REQUEST PACKING:
Requests for packing should be received in our office by 5:00 PM ET on the Friday following the auction (if the auction was held on a weekend) or by 5:00 PM ET on the Monday following the auction (if the auction was held on a weekday).
If your request is within this deadline, full payment is due within 5 days of date of final invoice which will include shipping cost.
If you request packing after our deadline, your item total is payable immediately and you may pay shipping cost later, after packing is completed.
Our packing service is billed at $15.00 per hour. This fee is prorated; therefore if it takes 30 minutes to prepare your package for shipping, the packing fee is $7.50. Buyer pays cost of packing materials when applicable. We use recycled materials whenever possible, at no charge.
If we have packed for shipping per your request, but the item is picked up at our gallery instead, the packing fee will still apply.
It is our policy to double-box all glass, ceramics and fragile items with two to three inches of padding/cushioning between the inner and outer boxes. We ship for 100-150 customers each month with great success, including international shipments, and we will not compromise on our packing method. You are welcome to make other shipping arrangements if desired.
We will combine multiple items/lots for shipping whenever possible. If you won by bidding with us directly AND by bidding through Live Auctioneers, although we cannot combine your invoices, we can combine lots for shipping.
We do not assume that items are to be packed for shipping. We pack only upon request.
We pack and ship in order of receipt of request and/or payment. We ship for 100-150 customers after each auction; often receiving 30 to 50 requests per day in the first week following the sale. Your patience is appreciated.
Since items must be packed in order to determine shipping charges, you may elect to send payment by check and provide a credit card for the shipping charges. Shipping charges paid by credit card are not subject to an additional fee.
We do not crate and/or ship furniture, other oversized items, or items of an unusually fragile nature (i.e. items that are already structurally compromised). If you are unsure whether or not we can ship a lot for you, please ask before you place your bid.
The buyer is responsible for coordinating pick up or shipment of any merchandise that we do not ship. Such items must be paid in full before leaving our gallery. If payment is made with uncertified check, we may hold merchandise for up to 10 days before we release for pick up.
You may use the shipper of your choice. We recommend:
Merchandise that we do NOT ship must be picked up within 2 weeks of the sale date unless other arrangements have been authorized by JSE & Assoc.
Pick Up TImes:
Our standard hours are Mondays through Fridays from 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM ET.
If you cannot pick up during the week, you may come during one of our Saturday auctions to pick up. (Auction day is extremely busy for our staff; therefore, if you plan to pick up during an auction, please make arrangements with us in advance so that we can be prepared for you.)
On auction days, we open at 8:00 AM ET and are here until the end of the auction, which is usually around 4:00 PM ET (length of sale depends on number of lots sold).
Check our auction schedule.
Items not picked up after 2 weeks will be subject to a monthly storage fee.
Any merchandise not removed within 60 days of the sale date will be considered abandoned.
Shipping cost is based on the final auction price, packing time, delivery zip/postal code, and number, size and weight of packages; therefore actual shipping charges cannot be determined until the packing process is completed.
We will gladly provide estimated shipping costs up until one hour prior to closing time the day before the auction.
Please contact us by phone or email us with the lot number(s) in which you are interested as well as the delivery zip/postal code and country.
It is our sincere intent to provide an accurate shipping estimate (within 20% of actual cost), but we are under no obligation to honor an estimated shipping cost.
Post-auction requests for shipping estimates/quotes may delay the actual packing of your items by 1-2 business days.

UPS Ground (within the USA)
A physical address is required for UPS delivery. We will also need a contact phone number for the recipient (in case the UPS driver has any problems with the delivery)
An adult signature will be required for delivery of any UPS package with a value of $1,000 or more and any packages that contain firearms.
Our UPS account provides for a daily pick up at our facility (Monday through Friday only); therefore, with the exception of Canadian and International shipments, UPS is generally less expensive than USPS.
If UPS determines that the delivery address is invalid and subsequently makes a correction in order to delivery your package, an address correction fee may apply (currently $11.00 per package).
Corrections may include the addition of an apartment or suite number, correction to street name, correction to zip code, etc.
If we are NOT shipping to the address on your invoice, we must have the alternate delivery address BEFORE packing is completed.
If we must make corrections to the delivery address AFTER packing is completed, a small service charge may apply.
Insurance is mandatory unless the buyer provides a written waiver of insurance coverage. (email is acceptable.)
Unless the buyer has his or her own insurance, shipping without insurance coverage is not recommended and is at the buyer's risk.
Most International shipments are sent via USPS PMI (Priority Mail International); however restrictions/limitations on allowed package size and insurance coverage vary from country to country.
The USPS GXG (Global Express Guaranteed) shipping method may allow additional insurance coverage, but this shipping option is typically much more expensive.
If you have your own insurance, you may waive insurance on your package. All waivers of insurance must be provided in writing (email is acceptable).
We will NOT alter our invoices or customs forms to reflect a lesser item value.
