Collection of Lots
Winning bidders are invited to collect their item(s) from the auction's business premises by prior appointment at a mutually acceptable time slot, during our normal business hours of 10am-5pm.
This must be strictly no later than 14 working days (Monday to Friday) following the close of the auction. No collections on Saturdays or Sundays.
No purchase shall be claimed or removed until funds have been cleared. Legal Title will not pass to the buyer until the lot/s has been paid for in full.
Items not collected within a reasonable time frame from either our business premises, or those of our regional agents, will be offered to the underbidder at their last bid price or placed into a future auction and payment will not be returned.

Due to feedback by collector's experiences in dealing with couriers and dispatch houses' 'hidden costs', we offer an insured 'goods in transit' delivery service AT COST to all parts of the UK using our regional agents.

We prefer to use Royal Mail Parcelforce for all our postage, if required.

There is a standard charge for packing of small items (minimum £10 + VAT, multiple items £20 + VAT) in addition to postal fees. Tracked and insured items at cost undertaken if required.

We try to facilitate all of our customers post-sale requirements. Non-compliance with these T&C’s may result in us offering the return of your funds and the item/s offered to the underbidder.

Consignments for future auctions can also be made via our regional agents, saving on your postage/courier costs and peace of mind against third party abuse of your valued items.

This ensures a benefit for collectors in that your consigned items arrive with us and are delivered and collected in a secure manner.

If within seven days after the sale the Company has received from the buyer of any lot notice in writing that is in their view the lot is a deliberate forgery and within fourteen days after such notification the buyer returns the same to us in the same condition as at the time of sale and by producing evidence, the burden of proof to be upon the buyer, satisfies the company that considered in the light of the entry in the catalogue the lot is a deliberate forgery, then the sale of the lot will be rescinded and the purchase price of the same refunded. RAUK would not knowingly sell a deliberately forged item but does sell Reproduction items from time to time, which are clearly marked as such in the auction catalogue. RAUK Ltd will not be held responsible for any further postal/courier charges relating to the transaction.

Insurance. All goods on the Company’s premises and in its custody will be held insured against the risks of theft, accidental breakage or damage caused by our staff but not for accidental breakage or damage caused by third parties.
