You may receive a message stating 

The massage states "You may have won." Please disregard this message. This is automatically generated by the auction software and has no relevance to your bidding or items won. It basically means that you have the high bid on the item, but the reserve has not been met.  If you have a winning bid, you will be notified directly by us via an invoice within 72 hours from the close of auction.

Return Policy 
All lots are sold “as is.” A three-day inspection period is standard with all items purchased. Once an item is received by the buyer, you will then have a three day (3) window to notify us that you will be returning the item. The item must be inspected by the buyer upon receipt, and if it is to be returned we need to be notified within the three day inspection period that it is being returned. The item then must be received by GMAA within 10 days from notification, unaltered and in the same condition as sent to receive a refund. Any item returned after the consignor has been paid is not returnable for any reason. 

Any lot viewed by the buyer or anyone on buyer’s behalf prior to the auction may not be returned. This is not an approval sale. All sales of lots to the highest bidder are final. Bidders are strongly advised and encouraged to research any lots upon which they plan to bid, and to determine bids, based upon their own evaluation. Please feel free to contact us prior to the end of sale with any questions that you may have regarding an item offered for sale in the auction. GMAA makes every effort to accurately describe all items offered in its sales. By bidding in our auction you agree to the return policy terms and conditions explained above.


A special note about third party deliveries. Some overseas customers have requested that their purchases be delivered to U.S. addresses where they sometimes sit for months before being picked up and inspected. Unfortunately in this case we cannot honor the three day inspection period (which begins the day that the items are delivered), as in most cases the consignor has already been paid. We suggest that you perhaps have the receiving party inspect the items for you if possible within the three day period, as items shipped in this manner cannot be returned after the three day period has expired. Grenadier Auctions also assumes no responsibility for packages once they have been delivered to a third party. 


Shipping
Shipping costs will be billed on the final auction purchase statement and are non-refundable.
Items usually begin to ship within 10-14 business days after payment has been received and/or funds have cleared. Please allow up to 3 to 4 weeks for delivery. Purchases will be shipped via USPS. Once processed, tracking will be emailed.
 

Grenadier Auctions strongly recommends insuring the package which contains your winnings. Your invoice will reflect the cost of US Postal insurance, which is the actual USPS cost with no up-charge. If you choose not to insure your package we must receive an email from you stating that you are declining this coverage, as we cannot be responsible for packages which are shipped without insurance coverage. We ship to the address which you have noted as your "ship to" address when you register. PLEASE make sure that all of your information is up to date and correct, as we are not responsible for items shipped to the incorrect address. 



International Shipping
Please email questions to info@grenadierauctions.com. Payment for all international orders is required in US funds. Please contact us for bank wiring instructions.

Customs requirements for each country are the responsibility of the buyer. All packages shipped outside of the United States will include the required customs declaration and full value of the invoice. If the USPS provides Insurance to your country it will be added to the shipping costs. If Insurance is declined by the buyer we must be contacted and made aware that you are declining insurance. Once an uninsured package leaves the possession of the United States post office and is in the custody of the postal service of the buyers native country, Grenadier Auctions will not be responsible for lost or damaged packages or items. If Insurance is not available to your country Grenadier Auctions is not responsible for lost or damaged packages as well. Also, please note that Grenadier Auctions cannot be held responsible for theft, damage, loss or confiscation of items by the customs service of the buyer's country.



Consignment Settlements
Payments (settlements) to consignors will be made 5 to 6 weeks from the closing date of the auction, and paid via a company check.
