Great Service!!
I won a bunch of vintage license plates. In house shipping was reasonable and packaging was very good! Would definitely bid on their items again!

Little care taken
Shipping glass items was done very haphazardly. Little care taken to wrap and separate items. Four were broken.

Will not honor shipping insurance. 2 months later and still won't pay. They want a receipt that I purchased another in like vintage bowl and what I paid for it in order to process the insurance claim due to their bad packing.

Complete failure
I won 2 separate lots. On receipt, both items had been described incorrectly and were not the actual items as listed.

The person I talked to was very helpful to me.
Items were well photographed and presented. Both items were accurately described, and met my expectations. I also like the selection of items in their auctions. The items are generally unique, and represented a nice price range. The packaging was done with care, and the items arrived in great shape. They are on my favorites list.

Great service!
Once shipped, the package arrived quickly. I think they may have even polished the jewelry before shipping because it arrived more beautiful than the original photos. Thank you for an especially lovely piece.

Item arrived broken and not as described
My vintage german smokers arrived first off glued together... which they are meant to come apart so you can put the incense cone inside it so the smoke comes out the mouth... well I couldn't do that since he was glued together. Along with his legs were broken off. I sent photos to the auction house saying that it was never stated that he was glued together so it would strictly be for display purposes only and not for functionality like how he's supposed to be used for and also... his legs are literally broken off of his body and they said "Well the items are estate items. They aren't coming from the box stores"..... so all in all did not proceed to try and rectify the situation of me receiving a broken and non functional item. Extremely disappointed.

Here is some more information with this issue. We did state that these are estate items. Which was also listed into the description. We sold over 250 Vintage Nutcrackers and smokers. This was the only issue thus far from this collection. We offered to refund money in full just to send back to us. This client did not respond and just decided to leave a 1 star review. This client only bought one item. It was not shipped broken in the process of shipping it must have been broken. Please if you would like a refund no problem just need item shipped back.

Terrible service
Items were immediately charged for, with their shipping that was more expensive than the plates themselves. They packed it very poorly for a fragile items, thrown in a big box with not suport, box got squished and one plate arrived broken. No responsibility assumed. In general the interactions were not pleasant with their staff, I don’t recommend this auction house. I regret I bought from them.

Unfortunately, yes one of your items were damaged. You requested for us to ship to a different address than on invoice. Per auction rules the card on file was charged 72 hours after non payment. You are supposed to pay prior that 72 hours. Shipping was 18.75 in total and your order was 20.00. We did credit your account 22.00. No sure what the regret is about.

Great experience with Rum Runners Antiques!
Item was exactly as described and photographed-perhaps even nicer than described! Got a fantastic deal on an item that was very easy to restore. RRA packaged it very well and shipped it superbly fast. Shipping charge was very fair-no gouging here! I would definitely not hesitate to deal with RRA again in the future. THANKS!
