Great Auction House-fantastic communications and easy over-seas accommodations!
Bidding for the first time with a foreign auction house, comes with certain amount of trepidation. However, Britannica was great with quick responses to inquiries and gave detailed information when required. It helped that their photo displays were excellent as was their Lot descriptions. Payment was simple with direct wire-transfer and shipping was surprising quick by Royal Mail. Highly recommend-look forward to their future auctions.
