FAQs

Why do customers love pkgPlace?

We simplify your life. Why wait in line at an auction house or spend time in traffic. Some auction houses do not even offer delivery. What is your time worth, what is the gas worth?

Why do auction houses like us?

It makes sense. Instead of multiple different customer pickups, they deal with pkgPlace. It is faster and easier. They just wheel our pallet of goods to the loading dock and we do the rest. For shipping, they do not want additional chargebacks, customers looking for items, shipping companies and the costs of materials and people to pack and ship the items.

Do you deliver for all auction houses?

Most. Even when the auction offers shipping, we will still pick up there the customers. A few auction houses have chosen to not permit us to pick up at their locations for various reasons. For a list of the auction houses we pick up at, please create an account and have a look at the drop-down list of auctions we pick up at. If you do not see yours there, let us know.

How do you determine the auction houses?

We work with auction houses that want the best for the customers. Usually our customers let us know of the new locations.

Is there a costs for the account?

No, the account is free to create.

What do you deliver?

Most things that fit inside a delivery van and can be delivered with one person. Sofas and furniture, appliances, and other big items are possible, however, we are not a moving company and only delivery to your doorstep.

Just remember, we only have one person locally, use third parties to help with our deliveries, and often deal with improperly packaged items. 

All deliveries are at 'shipper's risk'. See our terms and conditions for more information.

What don't you deliver?

People and other living things, illegal things, dangerous things, and anything else that we don't want to. We may pick up your pizza, but we may not deliver it.

TVs, monitors, and other breakables

In most situations, customers are purchasing returned merchandise. This means these items are handled numerous times along the way. Although some auctions do test items, it is impossible to properly test all. Due to these complications and with the limited original packaging, we are no longer offering insurance on these items. These items are shipped at shipper's risk. Please visit our terms and conditions for more information on this. http://pkgplace.com/privacy-policy/#terms

ATTENTION USA CUSTOMERS

Please note there will be additional charges for brokerage and government fees applied by UPS to the delivery. These fees are not related to pkgPlace.

Due to new tariff regulations, especially on products made in China, many items are no longer duty-free. These policies are set by your country’s customs authority, and we recommend staying updated on applicable import duties and taxes through official government sources prior to booking any shipment with pkgPlace.

We understand this can be frustrating, but it’s part of the import process and applies to all packages entering the country under these conditions.
