**Estate Sales Online Purchase and Shipping Disclaimer**

Thank you for your interest in our estate sale items. Please read the following disclaimer carefully before making an online purchase:

Although we highly prefer local pickup only however we will provide shipping options:

1. **Shipping Option**: If you are interested in having your item shipped, please contact us **either before placing your bid** or **immediately after purchasing your item.** We will then determine the shipping costs based on the size, weight, and destination of the item.

2. **Contacting Us**: You can contact us through the provided communication channels through estatesales.net Prompt communication enables us to serve you better by quickly calculating the necessary shipping costs.

3. **Shipping Costs**: Shipping costs are calculated separately from the item purchase price and will vary depending on the specifics of your order. Shipping costs must be approved by you before your purchase is finalized.

4. **Invoice**: Once shipping costs are calculated, we will create and send an invoice that includes both the cost of your item and the shipping fees. Your purchase will be finalized only after you have reviewed and approved this invoice. Payment must be received in full as specified in the invoice before shipping can occur. If you’re required to make payment before we give you shipping costs we will invoice the shipping costs separately.

5. **Handling Time**: Please allow a reasonable amount of time for the handling and packaging of the item post-purchase. We aim to ensure that your item reaches you in the best condition possible.

6. **No Automatic Shipping**: Please note that items will not be shipped automatically upon purchase. Failure to arrange shipping with us may result in your item being held until communication is established and shipping fees are paid.

7. **Liability**: We are committed to ensuring that your item is packaged properly. However, we are not responsible for damage or loss once the item is in the care of the shipping carrier.

8. **Finalizing Purchase**: Your purchase is not considered finalized until all invoices are paid and shipping arrangements have been confirmed by both parties.
