Heritage Auctions rough estimate of shipping costs to Europe

[nilsk123]

Hi,

Being completely new to all this I was wondering what kind of shipping costs to the netherlands I can expect when buying a single 'rolled' item from heritage auctions, as they do not provide an indication. Not looking for an exact number ofcourse, but is it closer to 20 / 50 / 100 etc.

Hope someone can help so I can decide if its worth bidding (for me)

I couldn't give you an exact figure, but Heritage is quite expensive. They generally use FedEx economy so (in my experience) you are guaranteed to have to pay import duties and fees. They also charge a handling fee but don't break the shipping and handling charge down separately. They package very well, as they should, but for me taking takes and fees into account significantly increases the cost. Taxes are out of Heritage's hands of course.

i am fairly sure Heritage will have a cheap rate that they 100% do not pass on to you

In the UK you can get tax relief if it's a vintage one I've saved alot

Interesting. Do you know what the date cut off is to be considered vintage?
