HIGH-VALUE ITEM HANDLING POLICY
(Recommended for £5,000+ works)
High-Value Works – Handling & Security
For items valued at £5,000 or above, Atlas Rare Books applies enhanced handling procedures to ensure security and preservation.
These may include:
- Additional condition documentation prior to dispatch
- Photographic recording
- Signature-required delivery
- Fully insured courier services
- Restricted delivery options where necessary
In certain circumstances, we may:
- Request identity verification
- Confirm delivery address details
- Require bank transfer payment rather than card payment
These measures are implemented solely to protect both purchaser and seller in high-value transactions.
For works of exceptional value, in-person viewing or hand delivery may be arranged by prior agreement.
