SHIPPING
Loon Estates offers in-house shipping for eligible orders and referrals to third-party shippers for all other orders. Customers with eligible orders will receive an email from ShippingSaint.com within two business days after an auction informing you of eligibility. Please allow 7-10 business days after submitting payment for your order for Loon Estates to begin packaging your order. Eligible orders will include but are not limited to, unframed artwork, framed artwork, jewelry, coins, and decorative objects. Ineligible orders include but are not limited to, furniture, oversized lots, and any lot that must be shipped by a third party.
As a convenience to the Buyer, Loon Estates will make a referral for packing and shipping to third-party shipping vendors for orders that do not qualify for in-house shipment. This is at the request, expense, and risk of the Buyer, and Loon Estates assumes no responsibility for the items or the timing of delivery. Insurance for in-transit items is the responsibility of the buyer. The buyer must reach out to a third-party shipping vendor to arrange shipping.
Other orders ineligible for in-house shipment include, but are not limited to, orders that include framed artwork exceeding 35" in any dimension, decorative art/objects exceeding 20" in any dimension, and international orders exceeding $2,500 USD.
"Oversized lots" are objects such as furniture, andirons, floor vases, sculptures, or any other item whose safe packing will exceed the limits of common carriers. The delivery of oversized, large, exceedingly heavy, or high-value objects is not an inexpensive proposition and we urge you to consider this before bidding.
