Won it on auction? Collect before storage fees hit

Auction houses often require buyer-arranged collection within strict windows. Quote the saleroom address and your delivery address, then move lots before storage charges apply.

QikTruck recommendation

Book as soon as invoices and collection slots are confirmed so the driver arrives inside the auction house window.

Typical auction rules

Many SA auctioneers do not pack or transport for you. Buyers must send a courier or removal team, sometimes with advance notice to the shipping desk.

What to tell QikTruck

  • Saleroom address and lot numbers
  • Collection deadline
  • Fragile or oversized pieces
  • Whether packing materials are required on arrival
