Take advantage of Sworders’ Delivery Service to receive your auction purchases hassle-free
Pre-sale - how does it work?
- We automatically apply an estimated shipping quote to as many lots as possible prior to the auction (predominantly for all smaller items - for delivery within the UK)
- Pre-sale, you can see how much it would cost to have the lot delivered to any address in the UK by clicking on the 'Shipping Estimate' tab on the lot detail page on our website
- For items we are unable to provide an estimated shipping quote (typically larger lots such as furniture and pictures and for international shipping), a bespoke shipping estimate can be obtained after the sale using the link in your invoice email
What happens post-sale?
- If you are successful in purchasing the lot, and if a shipping cost has been pre-allocated, you can view the associated shipping cost in the ‘My Account’ section of our website. If you are signed in to your account, this will show as your username/name on the far right of the top main menu. The estimated or bespoke shipping quote will also be linked to your invoice
- Should you decide to accept the quote and use our Delivery service, simply click on the shipping icon under ‘My Account’, or follow the link on your invoice to add the cost
- Even if you have already paid for your purchases, you may decide to add shipping at a later date and pay the balance. Use the link on your original invoice, or click the shipping icon under ‘My Account’
- Once you agree to use our Delivery service, you will receive a confirmation email to acknowledge that you have added shipping to your invoice. You will receive a second email notifying you when your items have been collected, including the shipping method
