Frequently Asked Questions
Which auction houses do you collect from?
We collect from all major auction houses across Devon and the South West, including those in Exeter, Plymouth, Torquay, and Newton Abbot. We can also collect from specialist auctions and online auction collection points.
How much does auction collection cost?
Costs depend on item size, fragility, and distance from auction house to delivery address. Single furniture items typically cost £60-£150. Multiple items or particularly large/fragile pieces may cost more. Contact us with lot details for an accurate quote.
Do you need my auction invoice?
Yes, auction houses require proof of purchase before releasing items. Please have your invoice or collection note ready. We can collect on your behalf with authorisation.
Can you collect the same day as the auction?
Collection times depend on the auction house's schedule and our availability. Many auction houses have specific collection windows. We recommend booking as soon as you win to secure a convenient collection time.
What if my item is damaged at the auction house?
We photograph all items before loading and handle everything with care. If damage occurs during our transportation, it's covered by our insurance. Pre-existing damage should be noted on your auction invoice.
Professional Auction House Collection Services
Winning at auction is exciting, but collecting and transporting large or fragile items can be challenging - especially if you don’t have appropriate transport or live far from the auction house. At Sigma Removals, we provide professional auction house collection and delivery services across Devon and the South West.
We regularly collect from major auction houses including those in Exeter, Plymouth, Torquay, Newton Abbot, and beyond. Our experienced team knows auction house procedures, collection windows, and documentation requirements, making the entire process straightforward for you.
Expert Handling of Auction Purchases
Auction items often include valuable antiques, delicate furniture, and fragile collectibles that require careful handling. We treat every auction purchase with the same care as high-value antiques, using appropriate packing materials, secure loading techniques, and safe transportation methods.
Before loading, we photograph items to document their condition. This protects both you and us, ensuring any damage that occurred before collection is documented. Items are then carefully wrapped, secured in our vehicles, and transported to prevent any movement or damage during transit.
Flexible Collection and Delivery
Auction houses typically have specific collection windows - often just a few days after the sale. We work around these schedules, collecting during the specified times and delivering to your home at your convenience. This flexibility means you can bid on auctions with confidence, knowing collection logistics are handled professionally.
For buyers who’ve won multiple lots, we can collect everything together, making the process more cost-effective than individual collections. We’ll coordinate with the auction house, gather all your purchases, and deliver them in one convenient trip.
Fully Insured Transportation
All auction collections are covered by our comprehensive insurance from the moment we collect items from the auction house until delivery to your address. This protects your purchases during transportation, giving you peace of mind that your valuable items are covered.
For particularly valuable or fragile items like pianos, grandfather clocks, or delicate antiques, we use specialist equipment and additional protective measures to ensure safe transportation.
