Mastro Shipping Charges?

[Archive]

Posted By: Andrew

I am hoping to win some sets in the current Mastro auction. I was wondering if anyone could tell me some of the prices they have paid for large sets?

The sets are around 250 cards SGC graded and 110 cards.

Thank you for any help.

I say this with no malice intended, and it actually applies to most major auction houses: Expect to pay about twice what you would expect to pay.

ask before bidding, and do it via email so you have it in writing. And save the email.

I won 12 large pieces of art approximately 4' X 3' each in a recent auction. They were expertly packages and arrived in perfect condition. Shipping was $25, which I thought was very reasonable.

I would be remiss if I didn't mention that a few times I thought the charges were a tad high however, each time I called we came to a satisfactory solution. ......regards

the shipping business, I've never had a problem with Mastronet nor Robert Edward or others. I've heard more horror stories with other auction houses. I don't typically bid on and win oversized items. I can tell you that costs to ship prints/oversized stuff can be exponentially more expensive sometimes just based on the physical dimensions of the package. UPS & FedEx charge the higher of the physical weight and the dimensional weight, so you may get charged high rates on substantially larger, lighter pieces just because they physically take up more space in vehicles.
