Can't trust measurements.
Purcahsed a very nice antique frame for a 14 x 16in painting. Rabbet size was listed as 14 x 16. When received, the Rabbet is actually 11 3/4 x 12 1/4. Shipping cost as much as the frame so now I have a frame that doesn't fit my painting. It's a beautiful frame and I will keep it for a future piece of art, but there really is no excuse for that kind of mistake.

Thank you for your thoughtful and kind comment. We put ourselves in our client's "buying" shoes and take pains to clearly and accurately describe and photograph everything we sell. Should we ever fail to do so through inadvertent error, we will make things right. AY Staff

Definitely keeping an eye out for another Austin York auction!
From the interesting items offered, through to the in person pick up, I found every part of the transaction pleasant and smooth. The individuals from Austin York that I interacted with-first in an email, then in person-were helpful and friendly and personable. I look forward to dealing with them again!

Very Helpful and Pleasant
I asked two questions prior to he auction and they responded to both questions very quickly. We went to pick up the items and both people were very pleasant and helpful again with assisting putting the item in my car.

Always a great experience. Highly recommended.
Item was even better than description and photos. Great auction house to deal with from start to finish. Looking forward to the next auction.

Great end to end experience
I like that auction house shipped the belt. I didn’t have to contact a separate shipper.

Very nice but the shipping experience was terrible
I know that shipping is out of the auction houses hands, but even though they were very nice when I contacted them I probably will not bid with them again based on my shipping experience. The Live Auctioneers shipping price was ridiculous! So I went with their preferred shopper. This preferred shipper was so difficult to reach or to respond, it was so frustrating. It took about three weeks to get my auction wins … which was only jewelry. So sad.

We are also displeased with the shipping results you experienced. We try and keep shippers on our list based on feedback such as yours. They are independent, third parties, and are not within our control. We do understand that frustration with shippers can bleed over to us, despite the shipping process being completely beyond our control. Thank you for bringing the issue to our attention.

More trouble then it was worth, or had to be.
I won 2 items from them for $30 that with the fee's, shipping, packing, etc. ended up totaling $73.00. Most auctioneers treat a cup/saucer as 1item, here 22 really was 11 which I found deceptive. I emailed all 3 of the options for shipping they recommend. 2 did not respond, the 3rd could not give me a quote with out picking up the items. The quote was excessive, she returned the items to Austin York, where they charged me to put a label I send to them and to drop off as the postman does not pick up from their location. It was not a pleasant transaction.

We are sorry you had shipping issues. You are probably aware that shipping services can be expensive, and are UNRELATED to what one pays for an item. We have no control over shippers. Your choice of shipping methods is completely within your discretion and completely out of our control. You sent a release authorizing your chosen shipper to pickup your items. We would appreciate if you address any shipping issues with your shipper. Please note that in person pickup is free. Let's be clear on the facts of AY handling your items. Our terms are clear-WE DO NOT SHIP items such as yours. Still, it seems you expected us to handle your item, affix labels, and PHYSICALLY TAKE IT TO the Post Office, at no cost. The fact is, we handled, labelled, and dropped off your package at the PO and you agreed to be charged $5.45 including tax. For our part we did the right thing and provided a courtesy to a client, below cost. With respect to your DECEPTIVE comment: We view your comment as simply incorrect. Our description is accurate. We stand by it as accurate, factual, and truthful. The photos are also accurate. Most people, including auctioneers, would call a 2 piece SET a SET, or 2 pieces, since it consists of a CUP AND A SAUCER. There were 22 pieces in your lot. This is the first time we have ever had someone complain that 22 pieces were really 11. We stand by our description and if you wish to return your lot, we would be pleased to refund your purchase price. Have a pleasant day.

Significant measurement error
They said the frame had a 16x20 opening. It was more like 13x17. My 16x20 picture will not fit in the frame. 16x20 is a standard size; 13x17 paintings are rare. The frame is useless to me.
Austin York LLCNov 10, 2021
We offered to refund the purchase price AND shipping costs were the measurements erroneous. We requested the client send photos of the frame alongside a measuring tape. The client has not (to date) send any photos showing the measurements were incorrect. We stand by our descriptions and will address any discrepancies.

Flexible and helpful
Allowed me to hold items with them until their next auction, so I could pickup items from both auctions and avoid 2 shipping costs
