Bidder Reviews for Bill Hood & Sons Art & Antique Auctions (616)

Have purchased many items from Bill Hood and Sons Auctions and would highly recommend them!

Great help in figuring out the bidding process. The notices were wonderful reminders about bidding times. They were so nice to help a new to auction bidder (in my mid 70s)

Very high shipping charge. They adjusted when I objected (to their credit) but items from other houses are packed with styrofoam sheets rather than peanuts, and Hood does not use plastic wrap to protect glass.

Great items as described and safely shipped

I have found dealing with the Hood family a pleasure. They are always customer service driven and stand behind the items as described.

Item was as described and all round very satisfied. Will definitely watch for future auctions of theirs.

I like to bid again with them

I've had very good experiences with Bill Hood & Sons over the years. This one was a bit disappointing. The purchase is a large porcelain flask. They described the condition accurately, but should have added that the piece itself was somewhat misshapen in production so that it doesn't sit evenly on its four feet. Please do better next time!

Exactly as described. Satisfied.

Nice experience

Been buying from them for decades-excellent in all ways.

Always had a pleasant experience with this Auction Co

They helped locate a small part that was missing from delivery of the table. They shipped it to me very quickly. Highly recommend.

Very happy with this purchase the staff was really helpful dealing with such a large item and helping me find a very professional and reasonable freight company to ship it cross country five stars to the shipping company and the auction house

Good item very happy with price and item in-house shipping on the high side and UPS was not much better

They are very responsive to email communication and great to work with, unlike some other auction houses. Their staff seems great! In house shipping is very much a plus and although they tend to over protect the items during shipment, in my opinion, that’s not a criticism. Shipping costs are reasonable even if a little on the high side. Over all their after sale service is a huge plus!

I have bid in the last few sales from Bill Hood & Sons Auctions. I have found the firm to be very responsive to my pre-sale requests for additional information or condition reports. Maria does a fantastic job packing fragile items so that they arrive safely. You can see that extra TLC Maria gives to each package so that the buyer is pleased. Look forward to future sales. Thank you.

Always a pleasure dealing with them.

They consistently get high quality goods and are very helpful and easy to deal with.

Very fast, reliable and great buy!

They have very nice items for auction due to being in business for many years in a great location. I have participated in multiple sales. Maria does a great job packing fragile items. May seem more costly at times. However, you can rest assured that your purchases will arrive safely. Also, special thanks to Maria for resolving an issue. Excellent customer service.

The auction introduce lot0292 is a white stone vase, but actually it is a glass vase, not stone. difference in value

I thought it was required to accurately shoot pictures of anything wrong with the item. My bronze is missing a key decorative piece and now I need to try and find a fabricator after an additional $200 shipping fee, after paying top dollar for the piece.

I always have a great experience with Bill Hood and sons auction house

I won my item on Live Auctioneers. I received a notice that I won, and an invoice reflecting the cost of the item which was paid promptly. When the item was to be picked up, I received a phone call and was told that it was already gone to another bidder because it was double sold. There was a clerical error. The other bidder was a local dealer. I am hundreds of miles away. What do you think? It's not a good appearance.

Thank you Bill Hood and Sons for making buying fun!

This is a great auction house, with excellent items and service. My recent experience with them is just what I hope for when I bid online!

They were a pleasure to deal with start to finish!
