Save Shipping Costs with Our Popular Combined Shipping Service Save shipping costs with our popular combined shipping service, which is available for almost all items we offer. If you win multiple items from us within the same themed auction, please wait until Catawiki combines your won lots into one combined order with only one set of shipping costs whenever possible. If payment is completed too early, this unfortunately no longer works, because Catawiki automatically creates separate orders. In such cases, we carry out one shipment per order and unfortunately cannot refund double-paid shipping costs afterwards. We therefore highly recommend waiting until all desired auctions from the same themed auction have ended before completing payment.
