Packing and shipping
Wait for approval before shipping.
Your accepted proposal contains your collection-specific receiving instructions. Request written receiving instructions before you ship. Please do not send to an address found elsewhere.
Who pays for shipping?
You pay shipping to Mr. Mom and prepay return shipping and agreed coverage for unsold items, unless we agree to an exception in writing before shipment. We confirm packing, carrier and costs before you ship.
Prepare the items
- Match the collection ID to your packing manifest.
- Protect singles with appropriate sleeves and rigid holders. Keep tape away from cards.
- Prevent movement in the box and protect slabs from impact.
- For board games, secure components inside the game box and use a protective outer shipping box. Confirm completeness, size, weight and shipping arrangements before sending.
- Photograph the packed contents and retain the carrier receipt.
Agree on coverage first
Confirm inbound postage, carrier restrictions, declared value, insurance coverage and exclusions, signature requirements, and loss responsibility before sending valuable items. Nationwide intake is by approval; buyer checkout destinations do not establish inbound coverage.
When the package arrives
We record receipt and condition, then reconcile the contents against your estimate. Receipt does not mean inventory is approved for listing. You will review that separately.
Returning unsold inventory
Agree on costs and destination in writing. Staff record tracking and each returned item before closing the collection. Buyer refunds follow the store’s buyer policy; consignor returns follow the consignment proposal.
