Best to get multiple shipping quotes
Richard Opfer staff was great and helped to speed payment process. The shipping options offered had mixed results: Three out of four listed shippers responded to requests for shipping quotes. The best price came from UPS Store # 567. Thanks Richard!

Very helpful and flexible with shipping
Easy to work with on shipping. Was able to call and speak with a real person and deal in real, normal terms. They were flexible on timing and location. Shipping was done in house and very reasonably priced. Photos didn't show some dings in the thin silver of the dishes, but the tarnish hid that as well and I don't think there was anything "wrong" with the photos at all-just a normal risk of buying in online auction. Very happy with the whole process.
