Most sellers on OneBid offer the option to have auctioned items shipped either via their own transport or through courier services. Galleries and auction houses with a physical location generally also allow personal collection of purchased works. This option eliminates the risk of damage during shipping. The staff of auction houses and galleries are very experienced in professionally preparing collectible items for shipment. However, it’s important to remember that works of art are extremely delicate, and even the best packaging cannot guarantee that they will not be damaged in transit.

If the buyer opts for courier delivery, the auction organizer is not liable for any damage caused by the shipping company. An estimated shipping cost is usually provided in the email summary sent after the auction concludes. However, for particularly valuable or fragile items, it is advisable to contact the seller directly to confirm the final shipping cost.
