Used this auction for the 1st and last…

Used this auction for the 1st and last time. Brought 2 lots that had 3 items damaged or repaired emailed and rang company to be told sold as seen nothing they can do. No damage listed on condition reports/ description. As an online bidder I feel it's very unfair to hide the fact that goods are damaged or repaired it should be stated in the description.
Will not under any circumstances use again and highly don't recommend!
I rang to arrange collection they said shut at 12 I set off in good time but the m62 was closed so had literally arrived at 11.55am to moaning staff so I didn't get to inspect the items properly on site.

I am disappointed to see your one star review following your purchase of two lots at our auction that ended on 27th April.

When I called you back yesterday, following your email, I did explain that there had been opportunity to view the sale in person prior to bidding. We understand that not all potential bidders are able to attend in person to view which is why we also give the option of requesting further information or images prior to placing a bid. These requests can be made directly through the bidding platforms. This particular auction was published online on 2nd April giving bidders over three weeks to ask for additional information.

During our conversation you did acknowledge that the online lot images did show the damage in question.

With regard to collection; we did accommodate your request to pick up this week, after the published auction collection deadline and, as you mention, we did let you know that the saleroom closes from 12 noon to 1 pm each day. Your delay on the motorway resulted in you arriving just before we closed for lunch, but the saleroom team did get your lots for you before they took their break.

We take client reviews very seriously, and I have spoken to the members of the team who dealt with your collection and answered your phone calls in an effort to investigate this fully.

Found this auction very good to deal…

Found this auction very good to deal with. Very fair charges, unlike the extortionate charges of many today, finding numerous ways to charge extras compared with the old system of a flat percentage fee. Also excellent in house postage system. Items professionally wrapped and sent in a timely manner.
Many people are tired of Auction Houses as most have progressively become ‘rip off’ merchants. CW Harrison & Son maintain a good measure of probity so well done to them.

I use many auction houses and this is one of the best . They answer the phone and help with issues. I had an issue and it was resolved . If items are small they will pick / pack and send for a fee which saves me the time in transport. I like the way they sell large lots rather than splitting up lots into small lots . Also they did not pay me to write this review ahahah :-) Honest and real 5*

Excellent auction house…

Excellent auction house with helpful staff and great packing service too. I bought online and as I don't live locally, asked if they could pack and send my items, which they agreed to do for a reasonable fee. Payment was easy and the lady I spoke to was really helpful. Highly recommended, I'm already bidding again.

Horrible experience with this auction I…

Horrible experience with this auction I have bought something on Friday and by Monday I have been blocked and when called the receptionist or I’m not sure auctioneer their been very rude . Their blocked me on saleroom even after I paid and collect what made my reputation with others auctions vulnerable. My advice avoid buy from this auction house if you want to keep your saleroom or your reputation as dealer. Not professionalism and very rude customer service . If could give zero star I would done, horrible customer service .

Hello, I have had a look at your account and I can see you bought something on Wednesday, which needed to be paid for & collected by 4pm on Friday (as clearly stated in the terms of our auction which you agree to when you sign up to bid). Despite payment reminders, you failed to respond or make payment and therefore you were unfortunately blocked from bidding with us (again, as per the terms of the sale). Only after your account was blocked did you make the payment, which was by this point 3 days late. We have an obligation to make payment to our vendors and late payments prevent us from doing so. Hence why we do block late payers, as per other auctioneers. I can also see that you have been blocked by 2 other auction houses within the last 3 months for not paying for auction items so you are aware that this is a consequence of late/non-payment.

BEWARE THE LOADING FEES

1st time I have been to this auction but I have spent all my working life buying from Auctions.
Went to collect some commercial kitchen equipment for a friend who had bought it. No help given which we expected so took some bodies to lift. but when the heavy items need to be fork truck loaded onto the pickup we were charged £5.00 per item. As someone who has always looked after my customers and gone the extra mile i find this very petty and out of order especially as we were only notified of the cost after loading.

This was our first order from these…

This was our first order from these guys. Some issues arose at our end, that were absolutely no fault of theirs, and they truly went the extra mile to help us to resolve things.
Recommended without hesitation, and will be bidding with them again very soon.
Thanks again.

Do Not Buy From The Goole Depot!!!!

Do Not Buy From The Goole Depot!!!!! Absolute disgusting that items can be sold with no description of been used faulty and basically not working when it’s clearly evident on close inspection upon collection that items sold from this depot are clearly been incorrectly advertised to hide the fact that everything is only worthy of the BIN!!!

Trustworthy

Really good experience with this auctioneer.
All products I viewed were good quality and they don't try and hide or cover anything up.
They advise you to view first and when it came to the online auction I bought £4000 worth of bathroom products for £450 including the standard 37% charge. (Vat and buyers premium).
Payment desk were very friendly and conversational and collection was a breeze.
I'll be buying using this auctioneer again.
They source quality items and not stuff that only good for scrap like a few auctioneers I've used in the past.
Top marks.
