THIS IS THE ONLY PICKUP WINDOW. If we are shipping - we will pack and ship in house and send you an invoice due upon receipt. Shipping questions: shipping@burnsbid.com Payment via credit card with Proxibid's payment system (you click "pay now" on your invoice) or you can pay cash in person when you pick up. We have switched to Proxibid's in-house payment system, so if you are paying by card, do so via your invoice's "PAY NOW" button. Proxibid charges a processing fee on card payments. As a reminder, you can always pick up in person and pay cash to avoid these fees. Or send a cashier’s check via mail. If you are mailing a cashier’s check please let us know ASAP - we will give you your “cash” total. We are collecting 6.75% sales tax on all Ohio buyers or whatever your local/state tax is if you are out of state. If you are tax exempt - make sure Proxibid has your tax exempt info. IF YOU PAY BY CASH, IN PERSON, WE ARE NOT REQUIRED TO COLLECT SALES TAX ON YOUR PURCHASE. If we are shipping - you will get updates from us on shipping progress via email and text, and once packed will receive a text and email with your shipping invoice due upon receipt. We will then send a tracking number and additional updates. WE DO NOT ACCEPT PERSONAL OR BUSINESS CHECKS. Because of mounting card fraud, we do not accept card payments on total invoices (including buyer's premium) exceeding $2,500. If your invoice is more than $2,500, you can use Proxibid's payment system to pay via ACH (it takes 5-7 days to come through) or if coming in person please bring cash or a cashier's check For vehicles we only take cash, cashier's checks, ACH or wire transfer. Shipping questions: shipping@burnsbid.com. We will charge a $500 relisting fee to your card on file on unpaid invoices over $1500. We now ship in house. By bidding and not picking up, you agree to allow Burns Auction to pack and mail your winning items to you, and authorize us to charge your card for shipping and handling. This is assuming our in-house shipping is available. Each lot description says if we will ship or if we must take it to our freight partner. We often charge a small fee to bring from the estate to our facility for shipping, or a much larger fee to transport large items to our freighter. If shipping is not paid within 14 days following the auction we will file a non-paying bidder complaint against you and you will forfeit your lot. We use a program called Shipping Saint to manage our shipping. This system will send you updates such as when we move your purchase to our shipping department, and will send you an invoice once your order is packed. Once you pay the invoice we will ship your package, and Shipping Saint will send you tracking details. Shipping Saint will also have you confirm your address with them before we ship, to ensure it goes to the right location. If lost or damaged - we will have you make an insurance claim through Shipping Saint. We run shipping like a separate business. We charge for boxes, packing labor, packing material and ups shipping and add a 30 percent overall mark up on all of it. We don't accept outside labels. We DO pack well. Our in-house shipping cost is pretty reasonable on most things - and is MUCH less than alternatives like the UPS store, which often does not pack well. We get very few complaints about what is charged. But be warned: large, fragile and/or heavy orders are expensive to ship no matter who you use. We ship in-house because we can promise our buyers streamlined, easy and reliable shipping with very little breakage. If all this isn't OK with you, please arrange for an outside shipper to pick up your items within 14 days of the auction, or you will forfeit your purchase. Shipping questions: shipping@burnsbid.com. You must pick up during the set pickup hours or you may, at our discretion, either forfeit your items (you will be charged for them). More often than not you will forfeit your items. If shipping is available you can also have your items shipped! If you buy a lot, bring enough helpers to get everything loaded out on time. If shipping is not available and you don't pick up you agree to forfeit your items, and they will be disposed of at our discretion, meaning we will either throw them in the dumpster or take ownership of them after billing your card. Please leave yourself enough time to get all your items before the cutoff time. By bidding in this auction you authorize us to bill your card if you do not pick up, even if we dispose of your items. At the cutoff time we will close and we will ask bidders to leave, regardless of whether they have finished removing items. Bring people to help you. If you buy a lot, bring a crew so you can get everything out of the home on time.

Loose diamonds are weighed on a diamond scale. Statements of diamond clarity and color are also approximate, and are given to the best of our ability.

By bidding in our auctions you agree to abide by and to follow all of the above terms.
