New Customer GREAT EXPERIENCE
Jay and his team are top notch. So friendly and easy to work with. Among our purchases was a 1975 Lincoln Mark IV. The staff worked diligently to produce every form and document needed at the DMV. Their team delivered my purchases at a very reasonable price, and were very careful in my home and with the delivery of several pieces of furniture.

This painting is larger than life. The ornate frame is/was fantastic.
I won the bid and paid for the painting. JMW Auction Service helped put me in contact with a local shipping service. I had never experienced having something like this shipped and was aghast at the shipping cost of $400. Biting the bullet, my enthusiasm for having won the auction slipped away. When the shipment arrived, the heavy plaster scroll work of the beautiful frame was broken on all four corners. There was serious scraping and stretching on the painting itself. Despite many layers of bubble wrap, the painting was free to slide around in the cardboard box and was not protected from outside harm. I had expected the shipper to construct a wooden frame to hold and brace the painting. Didn't happen. The auction house and shipper refunded my total costs at their loss and my relief. Lesson learned.
