In-House Packing and Shipping Service Britannica Auctions offers an in-house packing and shipping service for all of our clients. We will happily despatch your lot(s) to you so please contact us for a packing and shipping quotation. Please note that we are not professional packers or shippers but we do our utmost to pack items in a way to ensure your items arrive safely. However, we will not be held responsible for any claim in the event of loss or damage although we may be able to make claims with the carriers we use but cannot guarantee this. We aim to despatch as soon as possible after the auction. However, there are some items that, due to their size or weight, we are unable to post. In that event we can recommend a courier service to collect your parcel from our premises and they should also be able to insure these items.
