HOW IT WORKS
The U.S. Consulate General in Hermosillo is selling excess property and furniture through an online auction web platform. Each auction will be active for a set period clearly indicating the start and end date. This information is available on the information panel of the web application.
The minimum price increase as well as the maximum number of bids will be clearly indicated on each lot or item. Increasing your bid will only be possible in local currency (Mexican Pesos). During the auction, you must monitor your bids, so that you can react to price counter-bids made by other interested parties.
The mail to the winners of each of the lots, will include a link to the application where you can review the items included, after you have made your registration.
If you are a winner you will not be able to retract after winning a lot. In case you decide to ignore and do not proceed to the payment of the purchased items, it will be marked as a misuse of the system and your account may be restricted or suspended from future auctions.
HOW TO PAY
Payment days are scheduled on Tuesday October 29th. Payment for items won from the US Consulate General Hermosillo is possible only through Citibanamex branches. Please make your deposit into the U.S. Embassy’s account listed below.
All receipts must match the exact amount of Mexican Pesos of the winning bid price(s) for the lot(s), regardless of the currency deposited or the exchange rate used by the bank. The bank will print a deposit slip with the bank’s seal.
All winning bidders will bring their deposit slips to the Consulate General Warehouse and exchange them for a bill of sale and the lot(s) won.
Please use the lot number as a reference number in your deposit. Example: “Hermosillo, Lot #1”, or “Hermosillo, Lots #8, 5, 11 y 14”, if more than one lot is won.

HOW TO PICKUP
The delivery of the lots will take place on Thursday, April 9th from 09:00 AM - 03:30 PM in two different locations.
Please note that the U.S. Consulate General in Hermosillo does NOT ship lots or merchandise won in our Auction anywhere in the world. All lots that someone has won must be picked up physically following the instructions below.
If you are a winner, to pick up the items won in this auction, you must present the original stamped bank receipt, which must include all the details specified in the paragraph regarding payment.
Any items that have been paid for and are not picked up during the designated pick-up period will be discarded, and there will be no chance of retrieving or picking them up. Under special circumstances, you may arrange a different pick-up date and time by contacting the auction manager as long as the lot has been paid in full within the stipulated days for payment.
Once the confirmation of payment for your items/lots has been successful, Consulate staff will place the purchased items at the warehouse door for delivery. From that point on, you are the owner of the merchandise, and will have full responsibility for any subsequent maneuvers necessary to move and transport the merchandise out of the Consulate's facilities. If the items are not transported in a timely manner, they will be considered abandoned and will be disposed of as deemed appropriate.
Some lots will be delivered to the Consulate's warehouse, located at Blvd. Quintero Arce # 85, Col. El Llano from 09:00 - 12:30 and other lots will be delivered on Blvd Navarrete 291. Service Entrance on Torreon Street from 13:00 - 15:00.
Once the online auction is done and you have been the winner of a lot, you will be notified on which location you need to pick up.
If needed, someone else can pick up the lots for you. That person must bring the bank payment receipt with the reference showing the paid lots and a physical copy of the official identification of the person who registered on the auction page, as well as a simple letter indicating who you authorize to pick up the lots on your behalf.
