IMPORTANT LATEST UPDATES
The following protocols, processes and scheduling mechanisms have been put in place for this auction. We expect everyone to respect and abide by them for the safety of all buyers and sellers:

All non-essential client-specific auctions and pickups will be postponed until further notice
Essential auctions, where sellers MUST close and be out of their properties with no chance of extension, will be allowed to go on however the pickups will be modified to mitigate person-to-person contact as outlined below
We have set up a program with two moving companies to facilitate convenient and affordable pickup and delivery:
- Speedline Transporation:
  (416) 878-0998
  speedlinetransportation@gmail.com
- Metropolitan Movers:
  (289) 270-0049
  contact@metropolitanhalton.ca
All arrangements and pricing with these movers are strictly between you and the movers and Transition Squad assumes no responsibility for pricing, delays or damage. This program has been put in place solely for buyers' safety and convenience and Transition Squad does not receive any compensation for including these movers on this list
Metropolitan also has a warehouse for storage at a daily rate, subject to size, number, type of items stored and duration, if extended storage is desired
We strongly encourage using movers for furniture or larger items. Considering the current environment, you may want to consider using them for small pickups as well. They currently plan to pick up all lots on April 24th and deliver them thereafter.
If you use different movers or are moving large items on your own, they/you must abide by the scheduling system identified below
All winners will receive a link to an online calendar to choose one (1) reserved half hour time slot between April 19-23 during designated times. Each winner will be able to choose only one (1) reserved half hour time slot, on a first come first serve basis. There will be an open half hour time slot in between to prevent overlap and contact. Do not be late for your appointment or you will have to reschedule your pickup
There will be curb-side pickup for all small items that can easily be brought out. Winners are to call the number on their receipt upon arrival, in drive-thru fashion, and their items will be brought out to the driveway or lawn by the sellers who will then back away to maintain a safe distance. Winners can then come get their items, pack them securely in their own boxes and bags with their own packing material, and take them back to their vehicle, leaving the signed receipt behind for the seller
You must bring your own helpers and tools if you are picking up larger items. Ensure helpers are those you live with so as to abide by social distancing rules; otherwise use the movers as police are issuing fines. Sellers will be maintaining their distance while you disassemble and move your items from the premises. You must remove your items within your time slot
We recommend you quarantine items in your garage or basement for the maximum period these viruses can survive on various surfaces. You can search 'how long can coronavirus survive on...' to determine a comfortable length of quarantine. This will enable you to snatch up a great deal and enjoy it just a bit later. Note that this virus situation has reduced bidding activity and competition, so items are going for dramatically less than normal
There will be no opportunity to purchase unsold items on site so please make sure to bid online if you are interested in something
We cannot stress enough to take safety measures seriously and follow our protocols, processes and scheduling. Do not be late for your appointments as it may infringe on the next person's time slot and you will be required to wait or reschedule, with no refund
Everyone should take the appropriate precautions such as wearing gloves when touching unfamiliar items, wiping down items as you bring them home, not touching your face, maintaining at least 2 metres distance from others, coughing or sneezing into your sleeve, etc. Please take precautions, not just when picking up these items but your everyday activities such as getting groceries, going for walks, grabbing takeout, going to any store, etc. Be safe!
