Shipping Policy
At Authentic Signatures LLC, we understand that signed and authenticated sports memorabilia require exceptional care. Every order is carefully prepared and securely packaged according to the nature, size, and value of the collectible to help ensure that it arrives safely and in the condition represented on our website.
Order Processing
Orders are typically processed within 2–5 business days after payment has been confirmed.
Processing times may vary for oversized, framed, high-value, or special-order items. If additional processing time is required, we will contact you using the information provided with your order.
Secure Packaging
Every collectible is carefully packaged according to its size, value, condition, and presentation format.
Certificates of authenticity, authentication cards, holograms, and other accompanying documentation are protected and shipped with the corresponding collectible when applicable.
Framed memorabilia, oversized collectibles, and particularly fragile items may require specialized protective packaging.
Shipping & Tracking
We use established shipping carriers and tracked shipping services whenever available.
When tracking is available, customers will receive tracking information once the order has been prepared for shipment.
Delivery times provided by shipping carriers are estimates and may be affected by circumstances outside our control, including carrier delays, weather conditions, customs processing, or other transportation disruptions.

International Shipping
Authentic Signatures ships to selected international destinations.
International customers are responsible for any customs duties, import taxes, VAT, brokerage fees, or other charges imposed by the destination country unless explicitly stated otherwise during checkout.
These charges are not included in the product price or standard shipping cost unless otherwise indicated.
Customs procedures may cause additional delivery delays. Authentic Signatures cannot control or guarantee customs clearance times.

Customers are responsible for providing a complete and accurate shipping address when placing an order.
Please contact us as soon as possible if an address needs to be corrected.

When signature confirmation is required, the customer is responsible for ensuring that an authorized recipient is available to accept the shipment.
