Outstanding Glass
Jeffrey S. Evans & Associates does an outstanding job with its twice annual glass auctions. Great variety of antique to modern glass with excellent, researched descriptions. Easy to arrange for pick-up. Bidder's premium is high, IMO, but you get what you pay for. Will participate in their auctions in the future.

World's Slowest Shipping
I paid for my item promptly after the July 31st auction and now 3 weeks later they still have not shipped it. I contacted them and they said it would be another week, so a full month before they ship out a small item that was promptly paid for. I've been bidding in auctions for many years and this is the longest I have ever had to wait. The auction house clearly needs to hire another person in their shipping dept!

We regret you were not pleased with your JSE & A experience. As with other businesses, we have had to adjust to a new way of doing business because of covid. We not only notify our customers of delays, but we also suggest they use our local UPS store should they need items faster than we are able to accommodate. Our pack and ship department are top notch and work tirelessly to make sure our customers receive their items in good order. Hiring more staff would mean our existing employees would experience a cut in their hours. We choose not to punish the staff by cutting their hours for a situation which is out of their control. Please know we pack items in the order they were paid. We greatly appreciate your prompt payment, but please know you were number 189 on our pack and ship list. That coupled with a skeleton staff caused the delay.

We regret your wait time. Covid has affected the manner in which we conduct business. While we have done our best to keep up with demand, like many others, we were not prepared to adapt during these trying times. In so far as the shipping costs, they are dictated by UPS. The pack fees are based on an $18.00 per hour rate. The materials we use for packing are often recycled materials to keep the cost down to our buyers. I hope this has cleared-up any questions you may have. We see you have registered for our upcoming August auction. We trust this will be a better experience for you and will do everything possible to ensure that it is.

Walking Canes
The canes arrived in perfect shape. My issue with them is that I purchased thme on May 20th. They informed me that they would ship them after June 15th due to Covid. I just received them today July 23rd. That is just wrong to take that long. They also charged me $106.61 for shipping. I purchased 4 canes from another auction house in Pennsylvania and they shipped them to me within 3 weeks of purchase in May and only charged me $71.34 to ship them. Needless to say I will not be purchasing from Jeffrey S Evans Associates ever again.

We strive to get items out to buyer's as soon as possible. According to our notes, it appears we waited nearly three weeks to hear back from you regarding a specific matter before we could proceed with shipping the items to you. The pack fee was $31.06 and shipping via UPS was $74.98. We regret you were dissatisfied with your JSE & A experience and hope perhaps you will give us another try in the future.

If you want it, don't buy it here!
I paid my invoice 2 days after receiving it. 18 days later, I still can't get an expected shipping date. Is that unreasonable? For Jeffrey Evans + Associates it is. Fortunately, the auction house could get another online auction up and ready to bid on, and I had to call a 3rd party shipper. Who knows, maybe in another 3 weeks I'll receive my item. Caveat emptor-it's a motto Jeffrey Evans and Associates aspires to.

I believe we have made a valid case through multiple emails as to the reason behind this delay. I regret we could not meet your expectations while we were also juggling some fairly serious issues and responsibilities such as keeping our staff and customers safe during this pandemic. We are certain you will be satisfied with the service you receive form the third party shipper we recommended so that you can get your items quicker.

As noted on the invoice, and verbally from the front office staff, packing and shipping would be somewhat delayed due to a number of our packing staff being out because of concerns surrounding Covid. Our auctions are quite large, larger than most, and as a courtesy to our customers, we offer in-house shipping. Perhaps you are not aware that we pack and ship in the order that the invoice is paid. It appears you were quite high on the list. Realizing some do not like to wait for their items, we offer an alternative by directing customers to the local UPS store with whom we have worked with quite successfully in the past. Perhaps this is something you might consider in the future. To your point about JSE & A not caring about your items, it is quite the contrary. If you have seen the way in which we pack to ensure safe delivery, you will know that it is our aim to make sure items are received as expected. We do not claim to be one of the big shipping entities who have the staff to accommodate overnight shipping, rather we have a small team who, under normal circumstances, are able to keep a reasonable pace all the while packing items in a manner to ensure safe delivery.

It took THREE WEEKS to ship
I am happy with the jewelry from my auction win. Good thing I didn't need my item quickly. The auction took place on 25 April. After 2 calls to the auction house I learned I was 300 in line for shipping. They gave me a date they thought they'd have a shipping quote for me, which was 26 May (over ONE MONTH after the auction). They told me they had had a big auction, and they were providing shipping quotes in the order they had been requested. I'm a small business owner, and told them I could easily package 50 items a day, by myself, so was surprised at how long the process took. Ultimately the package arrived slightly less than 4 weeks after auction close. But I was very surprised, given they never sent me a shipping notice or any tracking info. The only clue I had that the process was progressing was when I received an email from the auction house that my credit card was hit with a $33 charge (shipping, for a single very small lightweight jewelry win) on May 18. Yeah... I know they had a big auction. But if it were my auction house I would plan for extra help to pack and ship. And if I understood correctly (I could be wrong on this), there were a total of 500 in line for shipping quotes. My guess in # 500 is still waiting...

We are glad you are pleased with your purchases. We pack and ship in the order in which people call to pay for their purchases, and feel this is the only fair way to handle the matter. You indeed were number 305 on the pack list. As I'm sure you understand, these are unprecedented times for everyone and we were working on a skeleton crew trying to accommodate purchasers. Our office staff was diligent in notifying purchasers of the delay and alternatively suggested use of the local UPS store. Most first time buyers cannot comprehend the manner in which we must pack these items. Many are rare and irreplaceable, all being treated as a one-of-a-kind piece. It takes time. Please keep in mind there was a combined total of 1, 840 lots for the April auction, many with multiple items. Using your figure of 50 lots per day, that would take nearly 37 days to pack and ship-and that is not taking into consideration multiple lots. We regret you were not given notice when the items were charged to your credit card. An automatic email goes out once we've charged the card. Perhaps we have an incorrect email for you? This is concerning and we will certainly check into it-thank you for letting us know. To your last point-We have a loyal and dependable pack and ship team, hiring someone for just a few weeks doesn't seem fair to a new hire, or the staff person who needed to have time off for a family emergency or those who felt it necessary to stay home until threat of the virus had passed. It is never our goal to take an undue amount of time getting items to the rightful owners, but we feel we did everything possible to keep the lines of communication open. We regret you feel the process was unsatisfactory.

Great people, made it super easy!
First time buyer with Jeffrey S Evans and they were awesome. I emailed with them through site prior to auction and they were super responsive. Items were accurately described and auction was well managed. Payment, communication and pickup all went well. Elected pickup and fortunately had family in area because in-house shipping estimates seemed super high compared to many other auction houses I buy from. All in all wasn't a huge deal and everything else was so awesome and easy, definitely a recommended auction!

Be aware of intentional deception to items that are impossible to see in the photos
I never gave a bad review in my life, several items had permanent marker touchups and marks were rubbed off and spurious marks were added with markers. Maybe this auction missed these issues. but be aware if they continue taking consignments from these kind of individuals there is going to be unhappy buyers. i wish this auction the best in the future, and hopefully they correct this problem.
