Frequently Asked Questions

What is US Auction Warehouse?

US Auction Warehouse is an order fulfillment and liquidation services company specializing in helping move inventory through multiple sales channels, including direct retail sales, online auctions, and liquidation events.

Our online store gives customers the opportunity to purchase selected products immediately before many of them move through our auction or liquidation process.

What makes your store different?

Unlike traditional online retailers that stock thousands of identical products, our inventory is constantly changing.

Every product is carefully selected from our fulfillment and liquidation pipeline, giving customers access to interesting, limited-quantity products that may not be available again.

Shopping with us is about discovering something unique, not simply searching a catalog.

Where do your products come from?

Our products come from a variety of trusted sources, including closeout opportunities, specialty retailers, customer consignments, private collections, liquidation opportunities, fulfillment inventory, and other carefully selected suppliers.

This allows us to offer an ever-changing selection of products across many different categories.

What kinds of products do you sell?

Because our inventory changes constantly, you'll always find something different. Our selection may include collectibles, home décor, jewelry, coins, sports memorabilia, knives and outdoor gear, electronics, kitchen products, tools, toys and games, seasonal merchandise, gifts, hobby items, and many other unique discoveries.

Why are your quantities so limited?

Many products arrive in very small quantities, sometimes only one. Once they're sold, we often cannot obtain another.

If you discover something you like, we recommend purchasing it while it's available.

Do you restock products?

Generally, no. We list products as they become available through our fulfillment and liquidation operations. Once they're sold, they're usually gone.

Why does your inventory change so often?

Our inventory reflects the products currently moving through our fulfillment, liquidation, and auction pipeline. New discoveries arrive regularly, which means every visit can be different.

What are Curated Finds?

Curated Finds are products we've selected because we believe they offer exceptional value, uniqueness, or customer appeal. They're some of our favorite discoveries and are updated regularly.

What is Auction Preview?

Auction Preview features products that have been selected for inclusion in one of our upcoming auction events.

While they're listed in our store, you have the opportunity to purchase them immediately at the listed price. If the item sells here, it will not appear in the auction.

If you're interested in an item, purchasing it now guarantees you won't have to compete during bidding later.

What are Mystery Boxes?

Mystery Boxes contain a surprise assortment of products selected from our current inventory. Every Mystery Box is carefully assembled to provide more value than the purchase price, making them a fun way to discover something unexpected.

Can I choose what's inside a Mystery Box?

No. Mystery Boxes are intentionally random and assembled using products from our current inventory. The surprise is part of the experience.

Can I reserve an item?

Unfortunately, no. Because many of our products are available in limited quantities, items are sold on a first-come, first-served basis. The first completed checkout secures the item.

Can I request a product?

Absolutely. If you're looking for something specific, send us a message. While we can't guarantee we'll find it, we're always interested in knowing what our customers are searching for.

Are the photos of the actual item?

For one-of-a-kind, collectible, or pre-owned items, we typically photograph the actual item you'll receive.

For factory-sealed products, we may use manufacturer images or professionally created lifestyle images without opening the original packaging. Whenever practical, we also include actual product photos.

Why do some listings use lifestyle or AI-generated images?

Some listings include lifestyle or illustrative images to help demonstrate how a product may look in use or on display.

These images are intended to complement the listing and are never used to intentionally misrepresent the item being sold. Whenever practical, actual product photos are also included.

How do you describe condition?

Each product listing includes an individual condition description appropriate for that item. Pre-owned items will include any notable wear or imperfections whenever possible.

Do you inspect products before shipping?

Yes. Every order is visually inspected before being carefully packed and shipped to help ensure you receive the correct product in the condition described.

Are pre-owned items cleaned?

Whenever practical, pre-owned items receive basic cleaning before shipment. Certain collectible items may intentionally retain their original patina because many collectors prefer them in original condition.

Can I cancel my order?

If your order has not yet entered processing, we'll gladly cancel it.

Once your order has entered our packing and shipping process, cancellation cannot be guaranteed, although we'll always do our best to accommodate your request.

Can I change my shipping address?

Please contact us as soon as possible. If your order has not yet entered processing, we'll do our best to update your shipping information.

Can I combine multiple orders?

If your orders have not yet entered processing, contact us promptly and we'll do our best to combine them whenever practical.

Do you offer price matching?

We do not offer price matching. Because our inventory comes from a variety of unique sources and is often available in limited quantities, pricing reflects the opportunity available at the time each item is listed.

Can I track my order?

Yes. Once your order ships, you'll receive an email containing your tracking information.

How is shipping calculated?

Shipping charges are automatically calculated during checkout based on the size, weight, destination, and shipping method selected.

Do you offer free shipping?

Occasionally. From time to time, we may offer free shipping promotions during special events. Any promotion will be clearly announced on our website.

How quickly do you ship?

We work to process orders as quickly as possible. Most orders ship within 3–5 business days after payment has been received.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes. We proudly ship to customers in many countries around the world.

Will I pay customs or import taxes?

International customers are responsible for any customs duties, VAT, brokerage fees, or import taxes assessed by their country's customs authorities.

These charges are not included in your purchase price or shipping charges.

What is your return policy?

Most items may be returned within 30 days of delivery.

Returns requested because you've changed your mind are subject to a 20% restocking fee, and the buyer is responsible for return shipping costs.

If we made an error or an item was significantly different from its description, we'll work quickly to make it right, including providing a full refund when appropriate.

Which items cannot be returned?

The following items are considered final sale and are not eligible for return:

• Mystery Boxes
• Closeout merchandise
• Clearance items
• Final Sale items
• Consumable products
• Personal care products
• Undergarments and intimate apparel
• Products specifically marked as Non-Returnable

These exceptions will always be clearly identified on the product page.

What if my item arrives damaged?

Please contact us within 48 hours of delivery and include photographs of both the item and the packaging. We'll work with you to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.

What if my item isn't as described?

Customer satisfaction is important to us. If you believe your item differs significantly from its description, please contact us. We'll review the situation promptly and work toward a fair resolution.

How often are Treasure Alerts sent?
