Theodore Bruce offers a modest general wrapping and packing service suitable for robust, smaller, lower value items. A handling fee will apply and whilst all care is taken, we accept no responsibility for any damage or loss caused during transit. Requests for postage / shipping quotes will be processed after payment of your auction invoice. Costs will be added to your invoice and payment is required prior to packing and shipping. Due to the high number of requests, quotes will take 5-6 business days post auction. If you arrange your own collection via courier or carrier and require items to be wrapped/packed, a fee will apply. Payment and 24hrs notice is required before your goods can be collected. Please ensure the carrier has your name or invoice number available. For items that fall outside of our guidelines and requires more specialised packing and shipping services, we recommend Pack & Send Pyrmont (refer to website for contact details). They will manage the collection of items from Theodore Bruce, wrapping, packing and shipping. For artworks of higher value and / or exceeding 60cmx60cm, please refer to our website for local, national & international specialised art transport. For all Local, Interstate and International delivery of furniture and large items please refer to our website for recommended carriers.
