From Sold at Auction to Crate and Freight in Houston, Texas
Going once. Going twice. Sold.
But then what? What happens after a piece, or an entire collection, is sold at an auction? Well, it's similar to the many times when things are sold in stores: the things need to be moved to homes, to offices, to businesses, or to wherever the buyer desires.
Auction houses in the Houston area might sell large pieces of antique furniture, military gear and uniforms, authentic record players, European silverware collections in velvet-lined boxes, large ceramic vases, exquisite jewelry, sculptures and paintings, even automobiles. Some of these things can be driven away in your car (or can be driven away as your car), but maybe you stumbled on tons of great finds, the kinds of things you couldn't walk away from, the kinds of things that are going to make your home perfect. And maybe you don't want to have to think about packing these items for transport. No one would blame you for that; these are precious items and you want them to be cared for.
You just need to think outside the box a little; maybe find an auction shipper in Huston who can take all of your new belongings and give them the correct seat for their travel. Whether they are all going to one location, or will be dispersed among several locations, an auction shipper can help you determine what is best.
Sometimes custom crates will be made to fit your items, and proper padding placed around them to ensure an exact fit. Other times, your items can be boxed and shipped. It just depends on what specific items were purchased. Contact us for more information on exactly what should be done with your new items.
