After the auction has closed and your invoice has been issued, you can select from a range of shipping options when making your payment online. Sometimes a shipping quote may not be available immediately, due to size or weight limitations, property value or the shipping destination. In these cases, Post-Sale Services will prepare a quote within the week.  

Please review all details with care, in particular the delivery address, to ensure that your purchase reaches the correct location. Verifying your shipping preferences prior to the closing of the auction will help to avoid unnecessary delays or complications in generating your quote.  Your account details can be viewed and updated at any time online by visiting www.sothebys.com/my-account.
