Shipping

We do not offer a shipping service ourselves, but we give below details of companies who would be happy to give you a quote for the despatch of your items.  Lots will not be released until they are paid for in full, and the cost of shipping is payable direct to the company concerned.  Please note we will need authorisation in writig from the purchaser before we can release goods to a shipper.

We regret that, as we have no packing facilities, we are not able to pack your lots for your own shipper or carrier to collect, so if you intend to arrange your own transport, please can you make sure that the firm you employ understands that they will also need to pack.

Export of items
Prospective bidders are advised to familiarise themselves with any export and import restrictions or prohibitions applicable to the lots they wish to purchase. For example, the lots may contain prohibited material such as endangered species (and therefore be subject to CITES regulations) or be subject to shipping or trade restrictions. Cultural objects of certain age and value may require a UK export licence. It is buyer’s responsibility to obtain any relevant export and/or import licences and permits, as well as pay any customs duties, taxes and other fees applicable on import into the destination country. Dreweatts will not cancel the sale if a lot may not be exported, imported or it is seized for any reason by a government authority.

VAT Liabilities for Overseas Buyers
Private overseas buyers can only receive goods free of VAT or have the VAT amount refunded if Dreweatts acts as exporter in relation to the sale, the goods are exported within 3 months of the sale and Dreweatts is in possession of adequate export documents. VAT refunds are available for transactions exceeding £2,500. If you arrange for the goods to be picked up/delivered to you directly we will charge UK VAT at the appropriate rate and no refund will be available. Please note, buyers are responsible for completing the importation procedures as well as the payment of any relevant duty/VAT payable on importation into the destination country. 

Where the purchase has been made in the business or trading name, VAT refund will be available on proof of export provided within 3 months of the sale.
