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.

A 3% fee applies to credit card purchases. The 5% convenience fee is the Live Auction World / iCollector charge for online bidding. EMT (e-transfer), cash, & debit avoid the 3% fee. Please send EMT payments to Lyn@KiddFamilyAuctions.com. If EMT is not received by noon on pickup day, the credit card that bidders registered with will be charged. The 3% credit card processing fees are non-refundable. If you register for the sale with credit as your preferred method of payment, then send EMT instead, we will not be able to refund the difference.
