Auction House Collection & Delivery

When you win at auction the clock starts ticking — most houses charge daily storage after five working days and start refusing late uplifts within a fortnight. Vehicall Transport's specialist auction-collection team handles same-week pickups from Christie's, Sotheby's, Bonhams, Lyon & Turnbull, Roseberys, Sworders, John Nicholson's, Wellers, Dreweatts, Cheffins and every major regional saleroom from Edinburgh to Honiton. We bring the right paperwork (paid lot ticket, photo ID, VAT receipt), the right wrapping (acid-free tissue, blankets, foam corners, custom-built crates on request) and the right handling for fine art, antiques, mid-century furniture, ceramics and silverware.

Our drivers know the loading bays. They know that Christie's South Kensington wants a two-hour collection window booked online, that Bonhams Knightsbridge needs the lot ticket emailed in advance, and that Roseberys West Norwood will only release on production of the original buyer card. They also understand handling — a Howard & Sons sofa rides flat on its base, a Georgian mirror travels vertical with two men, and a tribal mask gets its own padded crate. Everything is logged, photographed at collection and again at delivery.
