Important information for auction bidders regarding payment methods, shipping arrangements, delivery timelines and local pickup.
Before You Bid

Please Review Our Auction Policies

At Gulf Coast Coin & Jewelry, we want every bidder to understand how their purchases will be paid for, packed, shipped or collected.

Some items can be shipped directly by our auction house, while larger or fragile purchases require professional third-party packing and shipping.

Important Shipping Notice

If your auction invoice does not include shipping charges, you must arrange shipping through a third-party provider.

Please obtain shipping quotes before bidding, especially for large, heavy, fragile or oversized items.

Shipping Options

How Your Auction Purchases Are Shipped

01

In-House Shipping

We generally ship smaller, non-fragile items ourselves to addresses in the United States and Canada, unless otherwise indicated on the invoice.

02

Third-Party Shipping

Large, fragile, breakable or otherwise unsuitable items require professional packing and shipping by an outside provider. Buyers are responsible for arranging these services.

03

Free Local Pickup

Buyers may collect their purchases at the location where the auction was held at no additional pickup charge. Advance notice is required.

Direct Shipping

Our In-House Shipping Service

Depending on the value and nature of the shipment, we use:

  • USPS Priority Mail
  • USPS Express Mail

Eligible purchases are generally mailed within 3 business days after cleared payment is received.

Professional Packing & Shipping

Large & Fragile Items

Gulf Coast Coin & Jewelry does not provide in-house packing or shipping for large, fragile or breakable items.

These purchases must be handled by an independent professional shipper. Buyers may select any shipping provider of their choice.

We recommend contacting a shipper before placing a bid to obtain an estimate for packing, transportation and delivery.
