Shipping Policy

BATEMANS WILL BE ABLE TO OFFER BUYERS A BESPOKE IN HOUSE PACKING & SHIPPING SERVICE ON AS MANY ITEMS AS PRACTICAL & ECONOMICAL IN THIS SALE. IF WE ARE UNABLE TO OFFER AN IN HOUSE SERVICE WE CAN ADVISE WHICH OTHER SERVICES WOULD BE BEST TO USE.

THE MINIMUM CHARGE FOR P&P IS £15-£20 (E.G. FOR A SINGLE RING / MEDAL / WATCH) AND WILL INCREASE DEPENDING ON TIME REQUIRED, ITEM VALUE, AND DIFFICULTY OF THE ITEM(S) TO BE PACKED.

PLEASE REQUEST A QUOTE FOR US TO ADD P&P TO YOUR INVOICE ONCE YOU RECEIVE IT BY EMAIL, EITHER VIA THE 'REQUEST POSTAGE' BUTTON ON YOUR ONLINE INVOICE OR BY EMAILING US DIRECTLY.

This service however is undertaken entirely at the buyer's risk, whilst we endeavour to pack items as well as we can, we will NOT be held responsible for any damage or loss to items sent. By paying for our in house packing and shipping service the buyer agrees that any items sent are entirely at the buyer's risk and that NO compensation can be offered for any loss or damage.


Batemans is not able to offer an in house packing and shipping service for most larger items and buyers are therefore advised to contact one of the following firms to arrange collection, packing and shipping on their behalf.
