Auction Shipping
Creating an Account
North American Auction Co. offers an in house, full service professional shipping department. As one of the leading auction houses in Western Collecting, our team of experts ships nearly 10,000 items a year from large freight to small jewelry.
We have implemented some of the most state of art packing systems and eco-friendly materials as well as partnered with the major preferred carriers to ensure a safe, professional and efficient delivery.
Our company has partnered with Shipping Saints software which allows us to automate text and email communications, address verifications, easily collect payments and speed workflow.
Eco Packing Systems
In addition to traditional shipping methods and materials such as boxes, packing peanuts, and bubble wrap our company has implemented several eco-friendly and efficient processes.
- Our company recycles packing boxes using our in-house cardboard shredder. This shredded packing material is used whenever possible in an effort to replace traditional plastic or styrofoam.
- NAAC Branded Paper Packing Tape. The tape reduces the use for plastic tapes on our boxes while also clearly marking your package for delivery. The tapes adhesive activates by water in the machine and is cut to exact size needed, reducing waste.
- Paper packing machine. We use an in-house packing machine that allows for bulk shipped paper (reducing trucking) which is turned into soft packing material. Again reducing the need for plastic packing materials and is cut to exact size reducing waste.
- Protective plastic. Some items are sealed into plastic bags to protect the item during shipping. As well we also ship firearms in protective fabric sleeves.
