Policies

Dovetails LLC manages retail, consignment, and auction services online and at our two Naples, Florida locations. Our retail / consignment division is commonly referred to as Dovetails and our auction division is d.b.a.Auctions Neapolitan. Because of this, there are numerous policies governing the use of our physical locations and websites as well as specific policies outlined below.

Please familiarize yourself with these policies and contact us if you have any questions.

These policies are streamlined for our Dovetails stores, both physical and online. For specific auction related information please visit our sister site, Auctions Neapolitan.

Shipping and insurance costs are always the responsibility of the purchaser.

Currently, we are not set up to ship ourselves. However, we have long established relationships with several professional shipping companies in our area. Orders will be shipped at the lowest possible rates through these parties and you will be billed separately for the costs. (It is actual cost, without markup from us.)

Please be aware that we will not be liable for damage or loss in shipment and highly recommend that you pay for insurance coverage on your purchase.

We will be happy to assist you or if you have specific shipping requests, or want to obtain competitive quotes for shipping, please feel free to communicate directly with the professionals. Below are several companies that have successfully shipped thousands of  items for our clients. They are each reputable, professional and very familiar with our company. They will make the process easy and as cost effective as possible. You are NOT required to use them and may use any shipping and packaging company you prefer. However, anyone coming to pick up your items MUST have written permission from you to do so. (Email is fine.)
