The auction house cannot bundle purchase and shipping payments together as shipping is done by a third party and therefore independent from the auction house invoice. We use UPS for all shipping. ONCE PAID FOR, UPS will contact the buyer for delivery details and payment (Please give 2 to 3 weeks AFTER PAYMENT IS RECEIVED for UPS to contact you). If an alternate shipper is preferred it will be the buyer's responsibility to make the Chattanooga Auction House Staff aware of your intent AT THE TIME OF PAYMENT. It is also the buyer's responsibility to manage but must fall within a reasonable time frame to be decided upon by the buyer, shipping availability and the auction house. WE DO NOT GIVE QUOTES ON SHIPPING.
