We'll take payment for this auction at a pickup location in Kenton, Ohio on Wednesday, July 27th from 11am to 2pm. This is the only pickup window. If we are shipping - we will pack and ship in house and run your card following the sale. You can pay by CASH or by CREDIT CARD. Because of mounting card fraud, we will not take card payments on invoices exceeding $1500 from out of town buyers paying over the phone or through the Proxibid system. You can pay via wire, ACH or cashier's check. Local buyers picking up can use credit cards for transactions up to $5,000. Government issued ID must match the credit card and invoice upon pickup unless prior arrangements are made. There is an additional 3 percent fee on credit cards, but feel free to bring cash. We're not taking personal checks for this sale. So no checks. 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. 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. If an item is damaged in transit we will refund you for that items as a portion of the total price paid for the lot. We do not refund what you expected to sell it for. We will start an insurance claim if you think your package is lost, but can only start a claim (and pay out) after 30 days. Items marked “delivered” can not be refunded. You will have to talk to your neighbors and to UPS or USPS. We ship to the shipping address in your account at the time of the auction, unless we are told otherwise in writing via email. 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) or pick up late with a fee of $30 per furniture lot or $15 per other type of lot charged to your card on file. This is not an invitation to come late. 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.
