Good item, shipping a bit high
Good item, shipping by UPS store 1468 was a bit pricey ($41 for a 6 1/4 "vase). Would bid again.

Shipping a Major Problem
Turner does not ship so you have to obtain quotes from their recommended shippers, all of which are very expensive. A lot of extra work once you win an auction. Their recommended shippers are not very responsive and as stated above very expensive. It is not worth all the effort if you win an auction.

Well executed and fluid auction... enjoyed the process very much.
Well run and entertaining as well-the entire auction was fluid and lively.

Shipping cost are outrageous
Shipping options are limited and unreliable. They also charge outrageous prices. The auction house never responded to my communications. Never again.

Difficult to deal with-poor communication
They recommended a list of shippers so I chose one. The shipping price was exhorbitantly high and the package arrived damaged and 2 of the 3 items I purchased were broken during shipment. Poorly packed and 2 weeks later I’m still waiting for some sort of resolution to this issue. I will not take part in another Turner Auction nor will I ever use the shipper they recommended again.

The online photo presented by Turner was not accurate, color-wise
The photo Turner provided online had a blue background and the colors overall were more vibrant. The painting I received has a dull brown background. It is the same painting-just the colors are different. I would not have purchased had I known the true color. Very disappointed. Lesson learned.

Extra Added On Fees
Before bidding on anything from this auction house, be sure to ask about their "extra added on fees" because you might change your mind about bidding

Turners Auctions were excellent to deal with.
I found bidding at Turners Auction through live auctioneers was very well accommodated by the Auction house. I would fully recommend this method of buying.

Very confident and professionally run auction house
Everything went seamlessly from the drop of the hammer to the purchase process and shipping in a perfect world cheaper shipping is always a plus... but they will be one of the auction houses I follow and look forward to doing business with them again.. highly recommend

Perfect first time auction win, from start to finish.
This was my first real auction. I am very pleased with Turner Auctions and Appraisals and the shipper I chose, Terry Edwards at Pakmail-Martinez, CA. When I had questions I emailed to Turner, they were answered promptly and explained well. My auction win was true to the photos and description. I love my items. Terry at Pakmail did an excellent job packing and shipping my items to me. Very fast shipping, reasonable pricing! From start to finish, my auction win was a pleasure and I thank Turner and Terry for making it perfect. Would definitely deal with again. Thanks again!

Accurate Descriptions, a good auction house to work with
I found them to be straight shooters on the descriptions of the items, especially important when bidding on items from afar. Nice, clear photos as well.

Total Non Responsiveness
No person ever answers the phone. They do not answer emails. They have taken my payment and sent me a receipt (automated) and I have tried to call them many times and sent emails. Nothing... and they still have my lots. This is no way to run a business.

Shipping Communication Slow, Pictures Lacking
Got the items, but overall not a great transaction. Had to email questions as photos were not showing enough detail. Also photos showed three items, but description listed two. Only received two. Odd as there were multiple closeups of the third item by itself. Shipping was very painful-third party shipper had challenges reaching auctioneer and my emails took days to receive replies.

All worked out in the end
Had some issues with wire transfer and took some persistence to work out but in the end the people at Turner were professional, easy to talk with and worked with me to investigate the issue and resolve it. Item arrived well packaged and exactly as described. Would definitely buy from Turner Auctions & Appraisals again. Cheers!
