Recently Announced

Pick Up Depot

January 2026

We launched our first pick up depot in Mississauga. Using pick up saves the customer about 40% on their delivery costs.

Recently launched, the response has been amazing. We are extending this out to all auctions in the next few weeks.

Online chat and FAQs

February 2026

We launched our online knowledge base and live chat and updated our FAQs. This should help customers immediately find answers to the common questions. We also hope to free up some time for our customer care team to focus on other items.

We have made some adjustments to our toll free number to create tickets for each incoming call for those that are unable to use email.

Barcode on all labels

There can be confusion as to which items we have picked up.

pkgPlace now scans all of the labelled boxes picked up from the auctions. We provide every auction with complimentary access to our software to print labels and track each box all the way back to our warehouse. Auctions can also track missing boxes in the Missing Boxes tab.

Using these barcodes, customers can track the items from the auction to their doorstep.

Insurance

We have insurance. If the box is not selected at the time of making a request, we will not insure the items.

Similar to other large carriers, we have a standard $100 insurance coverage on missing and eligible damaged items. For any additional insurance coverage, we have added a check box on our delivery request form.

There are many items that we do not insure and are sent at ‘shipper’s risk’. Fragile, antiques, items without original packaging, TV’s and other monitors are just a few.
