Shipping cost
For the 11-dollar item, a 10-dollar packing fee and 20-dollar shipping fee are paid. This is really not a good deal

We are sorry you feel that way and wish you would have reached out to us personally so that we could have tried to help you with your issues. We do need to correct a falsehood in your statement. We do not charge a $10 Packing Fee. We charge a $4.99 Packaging and Handling Fee per item, that pays for your items to be individually boxed and gift wrapped rather than thrown in a used zip block bag like so many others do. We also waive this fee for any repeat bidders/winners that leave us a review. Furthermore, it is troubling to see your comments after we go above and beyond to ensure our auction participants know exactly what they will be charged before they Register, Agree, Bid and ultimately win. Please see the Shipping Policy below that you agreed in order to register for our auction and was made available for review throughout the preview period and the auction itself. Thank you for you review, you have now been added to our list of participants that will have all future Packing and Handling charges waived. The Atkinson Collection "Be Original. Own Originals."

Reliable Company
The two items purchased were absolutely lovely and as described. I did ask questions that may have sounded dumb. But as the old saying goes” there are no dumb questions” Personnel at The Atkinson Collection were courteous and patient. They are an excellent company to deal with. I look forward to their future offerings.

Absolutely love it!
Small little painting and I love everything about it. Super happy over here. Shipping was included and so easy... I buy paintings all the time from auction houses and is my second time purchasing from Atkinson and I'm more than happy with the entire process. Other houses could learn a lot from Atkinson about how to do it right. Huge fan over here.

BEWARE! This company GOUGES ON SHIPPING!!!!
The items i purchased were ok, but the real shocker was the "in-house shipping" costs. Usually, it's a real plus when an auction house does in house shipping, because generally the shipping costs are considerably less than an outside shipper. This company charged me more than twice what an outside shipper would have charged for sending two small pieces of jewelry! I buy jewelry from all over the country, and I contacted them and told them that their shipping costs were exorbitant. They said that their shipping fees were set for different size boxes no matter what was in them, and that was that! I felt that any company who wanted to continue to do business with a customer would be reasonable and accommodating and FAIR! I have a business myself, and I do all that I can to provide good, friendly and FAIR service to all of my customers! So, ASK ABOUT THE SHIPPING COSTS BEFORE YOU BID!!!!!!

Thank you for the 1-STAR review. However, it come as a surprise being that all shipping costs are clearly defined in our terms to avoid any surprises. We pride ourselves on complete transparency and honest business practices. It is also surprising that you would lie about our response to you after contacting us to complain about the shipping charges after you agreed to pay them chose to bid on and win multiple items. After paying your invoice LATE we responded appropriately with the below message reminding you that you were well aware of your shipping cost before you registered and bid on any items. For you to give us such a dishonest, unfair and unprofessional rating is very disheartening. We kindly ask that you not bother registering for any upcoming auctions and take a moment to reflect on your actions as to not hurt any other small businesses trying to do right by themselves, their staff and most importantly their customers. In addition we are sorry to here that you did not like our shipping policy. We really do strive to be as clear and upfront as possible when describing our shipping. Yours is the first negative comment that we have received and be assured that our team is looking into how to make sure yours is the last. Keep in mind that this auction did have a lower Buyer's Premium than the majority. We were at 18 %, while most are at 20-25 %. Our buyer's are also usually very happy that they do not pay a fortune for shipping, however we do understand that most that participate in our art auctions our purchasing multiple pieces of artwork rather than small jewelry items and we currently have a "one size fits all shipping policy. We also want you to be aware that we often hold FREE SHIPPING sales on our website. For the entire month leading up to this auction the items you purchased were offered with FREE SHIPPING when purchased directly through our website.

Thank you for the kind words. Our team really does try to ensure all of our clients have the best all around experience. Our owner has drilled in us his belief that nothing is worse than falling in love with a piece of artwork only to have it hang in your home as a constant reminder of something that went wrong. We appreciate your feedback, and are very happy to know you are pleased with your new acquisitions. Please keep us in mind in the future and be sure to tell everyone where you got those amazing originals.
