Shipping : Shipment of auction winnings usually starts within 14 bussiness days from the close of auction and continues for the next week or two as payments are received. Overseas buyers please note that it can sometimes take several weeks for your item to make it's way through the customs service of your country, which does ad extra time to it's delivery. Grenadier Auctions strongly recommends insuring the package which contains your winnings. Your invoice will reflect the cost of US Postal insurance, which is the actual USPS cost with no up-charge. If you choose not to insure your package we must receive an email from you stating that you are declining this coverage, as we cannot be responsible for packages which are shipped without insurance coverage. A special note about third party deliveries. Some overseas customers have requested that their purchases be delivered to U.S. addresses where they sometimes sit for months before being picked up and inspected. Unfortunately in this case we cannot honor the three day inspection period (which begins the day that the items are delivered), as in most cases the consignor has already been paid. We suggest that you perhaps have the receiving party inspect the items for you if possible within the three day period, as items shipped in this manner cannot be returned after the three day period has expired. Grenadier Auctions also assumes no responsibility for packages once they have been delivered to a third party. International Shipping : Please email questions to info@grenadierauctions.com. Payment for all international orders is required in US funds. Please contact us for bank wiring instructions. Customs requirements for each country are the responsibility of the buyer. All packages shipped outside of the United States will include the required customs declaration and full value of the invoice. If the USPS provides Insurance to your country it will be added to the shipping costs. If Insurance is declined by the buyer we must be contacted and made aware that you are declining insurance. Once an uninsured package leaves the possession of the United States post office and is in the custody of the postal service of the buyers native country, Grenadier Auctions will not be responsible for lost or damaged packages or items. If Insurance is not available to your country Grenadier Auctions is not responsible for lost or damaged packages as well. Rights & Responsibilities : GMAA will determine the highest bidder.
