- 2) Can I Bundle My Winnings with... Backissues?
-
Backissues have to be ordered separately from auction items.
However, if you let them know ahead of time (either in the notes
field or with an immediate e-mail to that department) that you want the
backissue(s) sent with the auction item(s), we can usually arrange it
for you!
Unfortunately, if you have already made your order, they
may already have processed it for delivery, and might
be unable to add items to that order.

- b) Can I Bundle My Winnings with... N.I.C.E.?
Certainly! If we have your NICE number, we can
send your winnings to be shipped with your NICE shipments.
- c) Can You Ship My Items to one of your Retail Locations?
Not a problem! Let us know to which store you would like us to send it!
- 3) Can You Hold My Auction Items?
IF YOU PAY BY CHECK/MONEY ORDER:
Your winnings will automatically be shipped together
if you pay for them together.
Please list the items you have won so we know for what
you are paying. We cannot hold your items for
longer than a month!
HOLDING WINNINGS IF YOU PAY BY CREDIT CARD:
We prefer to ship your items once a week.
This allows us to maintain control of our limited
storage space as well as allowing you to take advantage
of decreased shipping costs.
You can give us instructions to hold your items
for one day each week (a weekday, please) and we
will gather up everything you win up to that day
and ship it together. We will also do twice-a-month
(choose two days, anything but the 1st, 15th, and/or
30th) shipping if necessary. (We prefer not
to for solid inventory control.)
You may also give us such instructions as, "Wait
until I have ______ accumulated and then send."
This blank can be filled in with any dollar amount
up to $60.00, or any amount of pounds, up to 4 pounds.
We're relatively flexible as long as you play by
the rules. For instance, you could ask us to send your items
on "Mondays, provided there is at least $30.00
of merchandise." However, if you are shipping
less than once a week, we would prefer not to have to
hold it for over $50.00
PLEASE NOTE:
Our policy is to not ship things out until they
have reached either $20.00 worth of merchandise, or
if it has been two weeks since you have won any items.
If you wish to be shipped as soon as you win something,
PLEASE LET US KNOW!
And a reminder...We MUST HAVE
YOUR AUCTION USERNAME to put these instructions into
effect.
