EVE New Citizens Q&A

Hi all

I made an item exchange contract, a fully fitted ship, for 1 week. It expired as not enough people were interested in the area where I made it.

But now I have a question. To my understanding, when a contract expires, the items are supposed to go back to the station item hangar where it was created or a "deliveries" hangar if one is available, is that so ?

I did not receive the items from the expired contract anywhere, and I don't see any button on the contract when I view / open it that would say "pick up items" or something alike, only the "delete" and "close" buttons.

So how exactly and precisely do I get my items from an expired contract ? Where is there some sort of a "pick up items" button or something like that ? How do I do this ?

Thanks

I did delete it, in exactly such manner, as it wasn't a very expensive ship and I didn't worry about losing the stuff. And the items are no where to be found after the deletion.

The reason I'm asking is because I made several contracts, and some of them just did not sell and are quite more expansive to me and I expect them to expire within next few days. And I do not want to lose those items.

So how do I get back my items if they arent back in my regular inventory after the contract expires or is deleted ?

I specifically went to the station, this was not done remotely. I have not waited for another downtime though, will try that. I will also try it again with something super cheap like a velator or T1 frig with cheapest modules just to test it out again. So we'll see how it goes after the reset.
