Bidders Terms : Returns Policy Please inspect thoroughly all lots purchased upon collection or postal receipt. Returns can only be made within 7 days of receipt, with written explanation of the reasons why. Items can only be returned if significantly mis-described, or if proven to be inauthentic when sold as genuine. Bulk lots cannot be returned and thus we strongly advise viewing such lots in person. The nature of what constitutes a bulk lot is determined at Lockdales’ discretion. Returned lots will only be accepted if returned in the same condition they were received in. We seek to stress by these terms: that the practices and etiquette of sale by auction are different from those relevant to sale by private treaty. Items in our auction are not sold “on approval”. Bidders should be certain of the nature of each lot before bidding. We do not refund postal charges. *We do not accept any returns on specifically German medals & militaria. These items are considered ‘sold as seen’ and should only be bought in full knowledge and acceptance of these terms. Neither do we accept returns of bulk lots. Please ensure you have viewed items thoroughly.
