SHIPPING
Loon Estates offers in-house shipping for eligible orders and referrals to third-party shippers for all other orders.

Ineligible orders include but are not limited to, furniture, oversized lots, and any lot that must be shipped by a third party.
As a convenience to the Buyer, Loon Estates will make a referral for packing and shipping to third-party shipping vendors for orders that do not qualify for in-house shipment. This is at the request, expense, and risk of the Buyer, and Loon Estates assumes no responsibility for the items or the timing of delivery. Insurance for in-transit items is the responsibility of the buyer. The buyer must reach out to a third-party shipping vendor to arrange shipping.
