Bidder Reviews for Cordier Auctions (1,466)

the piece I purchased had a very low-resolution image on the site that 'hid' the obvious tear, rippling, and discoloration of paper for this watercolor. I don't think it is was a really honest description of the item. No condition was listed in the description.

excellent items

Great people, thanks for the extra service

happy w bks

I've been a customer of Cordier for over 10 years, since back when they were still in Camp Hill. Since the pandemic they have moved away from being an in person auction to an online experience. Even though they still have a nice gallery in Harrisburg it's shut down "by appointment only". So now if you need to preview something you need to pick out up to 5 lots !!) to see in person, and make an appointment in advance to preview. They flat out refused to let me look at more than 5 lots, even though they were each had over 100 items that I couldn't see with the online pictures. So you have to make an appointment to look at 5 lots, and you can't enter the building before the appointment time, and if you're late you have to come back another day. The same goes with pickup. These appointments are so strict, I saw them turn away someone who arrived an hour early. I've been to dozens of different auctions, both in PA an elsewhere, and I've never had to go through such buffoonery with an auction before. When I asked why they have such rules they tried to use covid as a copout. But nobody there was wearing masks so they obviously aren't that worried about covid. This is all such a shame because Cordier used to be a fine auction house. Now they care more about the online experience than their local buyers, and that's very sad.

great

The items were as described in the capsule description and were in excellent condition. Of the 17 individual volumes, there were a number which were unique and would have been very difficult to obtain otherwise. I was pleased with the opportunity to bid on the items and the ultimate price made the purchase a high value proposition.

Good to do business with

1st class organization

Damaged item received, and still waiting more than 6 weeks trying to get Postal Connections to resolve the insurance claim with FedEx. You might want to try The UPS Store for shipping instead.

Have been a long-time customer both in person and online. Pleased with the things I have purchased for myself and my business.

I've bought from this auction house several times. No regrets.

I will not do business again with Cordier due to the high fees and not accepting credit cards.

within days of the auction I contacted them to arrange shipping. My shipper was able to pick up within 15 days, and they wanted to charge me over $400 for storage. I asked them to please resell the items. They said they did not qualify for that. I then asked them to donate them. Then after several phone calls and messages to see if they would work with me to release my items. No response until the afternoon after my shipper was able to pick up in the morning did they email me to say they would cut the storage fees in half just this one time. By that time, my shipper was no longer in the area. I work with many auction houses and they are certainly the worst. No respect for their customers. Per my shipper, he has had poor experience with them in the past as well, as he personally has had issues as well as stories similar to mine. Sorry to say, I lost on this one.

had a bad experience with their shippers on this order. later had an awful experience with them.

I want to thank them for helping with getting the shipping costs 'lowered!

Descriptions accurate. Great auction house.

Great item. Description was accurate.

Cordier auction is very organized and professional. They always call you back if they miss your call and their pickup procedures are very strict and efficient.

Very proffessional and service oriented company recommended for sure!

Fun stuff and a fun auction house.

Cordier's team knows what their doing from start to finish. Concise and accurate descriptions, easy payment process, and pickup could not be any better. You'll keep coming back to Cordier.

Charges storage fees for items not picked up within 7 days. Hardly enough time to arrange pickup and shipping. Won’t be bidding with these crooks again.

Cordier Auction House offers great service, accurate descriptions and real quality in all of its offerings.

From merchandise to staff! Thank you!

I recieved courteous and helpful replies to my inquiries about how my friend could pickup my items for me. He reported pickup went smoothly. I have yet to retrieve my items from my friend but look forward to doing so. I will be happy to bid again with Cordier Auctions.
