WE REGRET TO INFORM YOU THAT KIDD FAMILY AUCTIONS IS NO LONGER ABLE TO SHIP ANY ITEM OTHER THAN FIREARMS (VIA A BROKER) TO THE UNITED STATES.
IF A U.S. BIDDER PLACES A WINNING BID, PAYMENT WILL STILL BE REQUIRED, BUT THE ITEM WILL NOT BE SHIPPED. INSTEAD, WE WILL WORK WITH THE BUYER TO DETERMINE IF THE ITEM CAN BE RESOLD IN A FUTURE AUCTION, AT WHICH POINT THE BUYER BECOMES THE CONSIGNOR.
WORLDWIDE SHIPPING TO ALL OTHER DESTINATIONS REMAINS AVAILABLE. IMPORTANT: FIREARMS SHIPPED OUTSIDE OF CANADA MUST BE EXPORTED THROUGH A LICENSED FIREARMS BROKER, WHERE PERMITTED BY LAW. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS THIS FURTHER, PLEASE GIVE US A CALL AT 519-288-2228.
REMEMBER: OUR OPENING LOTS CONTAIN IMPORTANT DETAILS, SO YOU CAN BID WITH CONFIDENCE. PLEASE BE SURE TO READ THEM.

Shipping Details:
SHIPPING FEE: Items requiring a transfer will be released after the RCMP portion is complete. We aim to have items out the door within a week. Shipping fees are added once Canada Post/courier rates are confirmed and must be paid by credit card. If insurance is required, bidders must reply to their invoice email with request details. We can not ship items larger than Canada Post / courier allowances, (i.e. 66 lbs). See their sites for details. The winning bidder is responsible for shipping large items. For any other pickup/delivery/shipping questions, please contact Kidd Family Auctions prior to bidding. While we pack with care, we are not responsible for damage in transit and cannot offer refunds for shipping-related issues.
U.S. BIDDERS: Due to U.S. postal tariffs (effective Sept 2025), we are unable to ship any item other than firearms (via a broker) to the United States. If a U.S. bidder wins an item, payment is still required but the item will not be shipped. Instead, we will work with the buyer to determine if the item can be resold in a future auction, at which point the buyer becomes the consignor. Worldwide shipping to other destinations remains available.
