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.

Please ensure the carrier has your name or invoice number available.
