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

Drouot makes objects resonate. MyTPK makes them travel.

In the historic halls of the Hôtel Drouot, in auction houses across France, and on Drouot.com, every hammer strike is a suspended moment: a breath, a gesture, a strike of the hammer—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: The Rethought After-Sale

The Drouot universe is unique, vibrant, and eclectic. A 19th-century painting stands beside a contemporary sculpture, an ancient 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 packaging.

• Instant selection of the optimal transport mode.

• Ad valorem insurance based on the declared value.

• Complete tracking until delivery.

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

Custom Packaging: The Primary Condition for Secure Delivery

Each auctioned object bears an identity, a material, and a story. MyTPK considers packaging as an extension of the attention given to the sale, in line with the high demands of auctioneers and managers.

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.

• Appropriate protection (foams, bubbles, reinforcements).

• A pre-printed shipping label.

• An optimized anti-shock protocol.

Goal: 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 unpacked object from the app.

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

3. The application automatically suggests the best shipping option:
