This is an auction house that truly values great customer service!
I have bought multiple items from this auction over time and my experiences have always been great. I live approximately six hours away from the auction house and Ralph could not be better about working with me to arrange pick-up of my items. I can't say enough good things about this place!

I purchased a spectacular showcase from the auction house. Ralph and his team were very helpful throughout the process. I requested additional photos and a condition report, to be sure the showcase was in good shape. When it arrived, it was just as desribed! Nice work folks!

Perfect Auction House/UPS Shipping
I purchased here often over the years and they are a perfect 5 Star Auction House. This purchase was a large item 30 + inches. UPS packed this amazingly. The box had clearly been dropped or simply damaged somehow, however the items was packed so well it arrived in perfect condition. If you are bidding online dont worry if you are purchaseing a large item. UPS was fantastic and the item arrived unharmed. Enjoy your next auction! Cheers!

Just an FYI
The basic auction experience, billing and payment: all well handled and efficiently managed by the Fontaine staff. Shipping provided by the recommended UPS Store was very pricey (I thought) and a lengthy process. Over $200 for 6 small items, total weight around 11 pounds plus insurance to me here in Atlanta. When I priced it out on my own the total came to a fraction of what they charged me.

The 2 small leaded windows got loaded on the wrong truck. I told him that I would get them back for him or I would just refund the money. He chose the refund. This Gentlemen is an auctioneer (I'm sure there's an ulterior motive here.)

A Top Auction Company
I have been using Live Auctioneers since 2013 and would rate Fontaine Heritage Auctions as one of the best. I contacted Ralph before the auction. He answered all my questions and was able to help me connect with a reputable shipper. I could bid with confidence knowing that I had a shipper. I look forward to my next auction.
