Terrible shipping options
I won a 9inx7in.05in book from 1931 for $286. They have no in house shipping and recommend 2 different ups stores. 1 quoted $65 and the other $40. Probably shouldn't have cost more then $15-20. The book came in a Ziploc bag with two pieces of loose bubble wrap in the box. Bubble wrap wasn't even around the book. Not having in house shipping only works if you have good third party shippers.

Customer service needs work
I bought a bronze bust from Vallot and had UPS ship the lot. In transit, it was damaged, and the box clearly showed signs of droppage. I contacted the auction house to confirm the state of the lot before it was handed over to UPS and Michael D. at Vallot rudely insinuated I caused the damage despite offering video proof of the package being dropped by UPS. UPS accepted full responsibility for damage and paid full claim out. I will second guess my bids with this house from now on due to poor customer service in this instance.

Repeat experiences with Vallot Auctioneers were all seamless.
Very professional well-run auction house. Impeccable bona fides particularly in the art world. Auctions were run efficiently with transparency and depth of knowledge about the items. Auctioneer and staff are highly recommended.

Top notch auctioneer-
I have purchased through many auctioneers and Vallot Auctioneers again has demonstrated that they are one of the leaders in the auction marketplace. Michael is extremely knowledgeable and continues to source high quality inventory. It is no surprise that estates and consignors are coming to Vallot Auctioneers to help them sell their items. Well promoted, well run, and quality service.

VALLOT Makes On-Line Auctions EASY and PAINLESS
Michael at Vallot Auctioneers was responsive and helpful with pre-auction questions and information about processes and item details. My naive-ness was met with patience and understanding and a post-auction problem with my shipping/shipper was handled graciously and with aplomb. END RESULT = EVERYONE happy. The artwork is even BETTER than described. Michael is the Best!

Without a doubt, the best auction house I have dealt with-EVER... Honest and great customer service
I will try to do this experience the justice it deserves. Michael & Vallot Auctioneers far exceeded my expectations during this transaction and Michael demonstrated the utmost in professionalism, patience and kindness during every step of the process. I purchased this clock and there were many months of delays with the third party shipper I hired to ship the clock across the country to me. Not once did Michael complain about the delay, nor did he charge me storage fees. He simply asked me to keep him updated so he could make sure the clock was able to be brought to the loading dock when the time came. We kept lines of communication open and he always called back if I didn't reach him and left a message. He responded promptly to email too. Pics were good, description was good. I would highly recommend this business to anyone based on my experience. I will leave equally complimentary public reviews on Google, Yelp and wherever else I can... Thanks again, enjoy your holiday season and stay healthy, happy and safe! Best wishes-Bill
