General Guidelines for Shipment Size

Small Package
Factors that May Affect your Shipping Rate

1. There is a minimum charge of $35 for each small package shipment
2. The shipping charge is calculated on a per box rate, so we encourage our sellers to combine boxes when possible.
3. All of our merchandise is insured, regardless of the condition.
4. Location - items that are shipped to Hawaii, Alaska, and Puerto Rico incur a higher shipping rate

1. We insure the merchandise to the full value of the product.
2. The shipping rate is based on distance, class and weight, so some packages that are heavier or have to travel a further distance will be more expensive to ship.
3. Each of our shipping quotes is a spot quote based on our tariff, since the location and delivery of the merchandise differs for nearly every transaction. A spot quote is the cost to ship the goods based on our existing tariff. Cost of fuel and residential locations can cause an increase from the spot quote to your final shipping price.
4. In the current economy, the price of oil has been steadily rising, so our pricing has to reflect these conditions.
5. High risk cities - Please note that if either your shipping address or the Seller's pick-up address is in New York City, Los Angeles, or Washington, DC, that your shipping estimate and final cost may be higher than expected. The Department of Homeland Security has identified these areas as high risk, and our carriers have adjusted their rates accordingly.
6. It is more expensive to ship to a residence than to a commercial location.

1. We will not ship truckload auctions to residences.
2. There is a minimum charge of $550 per truckload.
3. The weight of the merchandise does not matter, however the weight must be less than 40,000 lbs.
4. If your location does not have a dock, the shipping rate will be higher because there are fewer trucks that have the necessary equipment to handle this type of request.
5. Items that are being shipped to major metropolitan areas incur higher rates. The Department of Homeland Security has identified these areas as high risk, and our carriers have adjusted their rates accordingly.
