Drouot Shipping: MyTPK, the Natural Continuation of the Drouot Experience

Drouot makes objects vibrate. MyTPK makes them travel.

In the historic rooms of the Hôtel Drouot, in auction houses across France, and on Drouot.com, every hammer blow is a suspended moment: a breath, a gesture, a strike of the gavel—and a new life begins for the object.

MyTPK takes over. A professional, instant, and secure shipping solution, designed to support the essential transition between the auction room and the collector's home.

Drouot Object Shipping: After-Sale Rethought

The Drouot world is unique, lively, and eclectic. A 19th-century painting sits alongside a contemporary sculpture, an antique instrument, a design piece, industrial furniture, or an unexpected technical lot.

Once the object is sold, your teams must manage an urgent, heterogeneous, and often complex flow of shipments.

With MyTPK, this complexity becomes fluidity:

• Automatic object analysis via a simple photo.

• Generation of a custom-made packaging.

• Instant choice of the optimal transport mode.

• Ad valorem insurance based on the declared value.

• Complete tracking until delivery.

The result: a mastered after-sale, an assisted buyer, and a relieved auction house.

Custom-Made Packaging: The Primary Condition for Safe Delivery

Every object sold at auction carries an identity, a material, and a history. MyTPK considers packaging as an extension of the care given to the sale, consistent with the high standards of the auctioneers (commissaires-priseurs) and registrars (régisseurs).

Thanks to our technology:

• The shipper—buyer or auction house—takes a simple photo.

• The AI identifies dimensions, fragility, and typology.

• MyTPK generates a packaging kit adjusted to the millimeter, designed according to ThePackengers' professional standards.

Each kit includes:

• A custom-designed box.

• Adapted protection (foams, bubbles, reinforcements).

• A pre-printed shipping label.

• An optimized anti-shock protocol.

Objective: reduce disputes, ensure reliable shipping, preserve value.

How to Ship My Drouot Object Stress-Free?

With MyTPK, everything is automatic:

1. Take a photo of the unpackaged object from the application.

2. The MyTPK AI detects size, nature, and fragility.

3. The application automatically suggests the best shipping option:

   • Sending a custom-made packaging kit delivered to your home, or

   • Direct collection by a TPK truck for bulky, fragile, or high-value objects.

4. You choose your time slot.

MyTPK handles the rest: packaging, transport, insurance, and delivery. Simple, fast, secure. You take the photo, MyTPK organizes the shipment.

For Fragile, Heavy, or Bulky Objects: The Premium Solution

Certain pieces require special attention: Furniture, sculptures, monumental lighting, instruments, heavy lots, or sensitive artworks.

MyTPK then deploys its premium service:
