Cooperative
House had specified a pick-up day, but did not mention the specific hours in the auction listing. I could not meet those hours since I was working. House had arranged for a time on another day for pick-up. Very cooperative and good communication.

A true pleasure
It is a true pleasure to meet business people that are who they represent to be. I've been buying from the Stasaks for a number of years and have been very satisfied with the honest representation of items and their level of service.

Very disappointed in the Handling Charges
I hate leaving reviews, especially negative ones. As a small business owner and reseller I understand how they can impact your relationships with customers. I like M. J. Stasak as an auction house. I believe they provide adequate photographs, and I don't believe they ever intentionally misrepresent something. The diversity in products offered up is fantastic, and they were quite responsive to my communications regarding the holiday season. With that being said, I purchased/won 9 what I consider jewelry lots. One of them included two medium size boxed groupings. The sum total with the 18 % buyers premium was $476 and some change. The shipping itself was a reasonable 25 and some change. The fee to ship was $55.00, adding about 20 % to the net amount of my pre-buyers premum cost for the combines shipping expense. I know the M. J. Stasak will say in response, it is disclosed-and it is. Outside of M. J. Stasak, I have seen other auction houses disclose the same fee, yet I do not recall ever having paid this kind of fee for small jewelry items-less the one lot that was jewelry, but had rwo 10x8x 2 1/2 "boxes with contents that were not bubble wrapped. Honestly, I feel it is to the benefit of your buyers to have a reliable 3rd party shipper whose business is shipping. I had a large package come in from Canada costing less than this, and usually my jewelry shipments from Canada cost no more than $40.00 fully insured with signature and I am in the states. As a regular buyer for my business, the added 20 % is about 14 % more than I would expect. I'm one that pays promptly and takes my lumps on stuff that isn't what it should have been and pay my shipping, regardless, promptly. But the experience with you this last time was very unexpected and disappointing. Your fee policy only impacts those that require shipping, and if you don't like shipping that much, and don't have a reasonable 3rd party shipper, I simply don't know why you would sell using an online platform.

Hello, As you stated, you read our shipping terms and knew what they were before you bid. To give us a bad review on something you knew ahead of time, is not right at all. If you did not like the shipping terms, why would you bid? The items we sell are not ours, they are items from estates that we make a percentage off of. We have many buyers pick up, offer shipping or buyers are welcome to have their own shipper pick up on the scheduled pick up day. You are not obligated to use us for shipping. All the items that have to be shipped, have to be sorted and picked up from the Auction location. They then get loaded on a truck, unloaded at the packing location, packed and ready for shipment, then figure out who the cheaper carrier is for the customer, send the invoices, print the labels and get ready for the carrier to pick up. Nothing takes 5 minutes to do. We have many repeat customers that frequently buy from us, knowing the shipping charges. They are stated in the Auction Description, Auction Terms, and Shipping Terms. We are very fair with the shipping charges. The postage does not get marked up. You pay what we get charged for the shipping, plus the handling.

Didn't know that I could not pickup item day after auction
I messaged the auctioneer asking about pickup and received no answer. I literally live 5 minutes from them. They did answer a follow up message and informed me that item had to be picked up the day of the auction. It had been set aside to be shipped. Very small item. Rather than just let them keep it. I opted to pay the 15 dollar handling fee and 1p dollars shipping. I felt since I obviously didn't read their rules that I should go through with the transaction. It was their fault that I didn't read the rules. I just felt that they could have let me pickup even if the charged me the handling fee and saved the shipping. Just be aware that your item may end up being shipped if you don't show up in person the day of the auction. Doesn't make sense to have a live auction IMO without being able to pickup item the day after. I probably won't bid again and still am little bitter over the whole thing. Live and learn

Hello, I am sorry to see that you had to leave us a bad review, for your negligence in not reading the terms. The pick up day for this particular Auction was October 28th. The first email we received from you was on November 2nd. By that time, all small items were sent to be shipped. The pick up day, time, instructions are in the Auction Terms, Description, on your invoice, and 2 reminder emails were sent out. Also, pick up is Never the day of the Auction. Not sure why you think it was our fault that you didn't read.

M. J. Stasak House had real standards
Stasak continually, over years, says what they mean honestly. Doing what they say, seals the deal.

Auction house was easy to work with, and exactly as professional as expected.
Was impressed with the buying experience, the process from bidding to transfer to delivery to shipper. As to the shipping, that's another story.... I buy from auction house for clients all the time and called this particular shipper to see if the price could be rethought for it seemed a bit out of the ordinary (the high side). Was told by the representative of the shipper it could be reworked so we talked through the process, only to find when the item arrived, I was charged exactly the amount of the original quote. That seemed a bit odd and disappointing.

Consistent levels of service
Every auction and pickup it is the same high level of service and professionalism. I can count on it always being secure and with all safeguards being in force. If I have to call, I get a principle of the company and get an answer. They always take care of their customers needs.
