SebastianCharles Shipping Policy

🚚 Shipping Info – The SebastianCharles Way

Heads up! We like our shipping process just like our auctions — secure, insured, and smooth. Here’s how it all works.

📦 In-House Shipping (We’ve Got You Covered)

We offer in-house, fully insured shipping for the following categories:

  • 💍 Jewelry
  • 🪙 Coins
  • 🍴 Sterling Silver

Each in-house shipment includes full insurance, a signature requirement, and a $10 handling fee added to your final shipping cost.

🏢 All Other Items → Shipped via UPS

For everything else, we partner with a trusted local UPS Store for professional packing and shipping. When your items are ready, UPS will send you an invoice directly for payment and shipment tracking.

🔄 Third-Party Shipping or Pickup?

No problem — just let us know within 2 days of the auction closing if you plan to:

  • Use your own shipping provider
  • Arrange for a third-party pickup

We'll make sure your items are ready to go when they are.

🔐 Address Rules (We Take Fraud Seriously)

To protect our buyers and our business:

  • We require that all shipments go to the registered billing address on file with your payment method.
  • If you need your item shipped elsewhere, payment must be made by wire transfer.

💵 Declared Value & Responsibilities

All items must be fully insured and declared at full purchase value — no exceptions. The buyer is responsible for:

  • Packing & shipping charges
  • Duties, taxes, and import/export fees

🌍 International Buyers

We love global collectors! But due to varying customs laws, international shipments are reviewed case by case and must be pre-approved by our team. Email us to discuss options before bidding.
