Bidder Reviews for Bill Hood & Sons Art & Antique Auctions (621)

Thank you Bill Hood and Sons for making buying fun!

This is a great auction house, with excellent items and service. My recent experience with them is just what I hope for when I bid online!

They were a pleasure to deal with start to finish!

Item was as described. Nice that they offer in-house shipping. Shipping cost was high. Overall satisfied.

Hood & Sons was perfect to do business with-wonderful items, great photos and descriptions and the best part is that they ship, and their internal shipper Maria did an outstanding job packing and shipping very delicate items. They also shipped quickly, which is unusual and appreciated. I would definitely purchase from them again!

Very pleased with my purchase. Items were perfectly described. I used the USPS Postal Store on the referral list provided by the firm for packing and shipping. Their fee was very fair. Items were well wrapped for safe arrival. Thank you.

Professional, user friendly Auction. Great communication and shippers listed were very responsive and fair.

Hood Auctions provided an exceptional estate auction with great merchandise in fine condition. They are attentive to customer requests and respond promptly. All aspects of this online auction were smooth. Furthermore, I mostly appreciated their involvement in shipping my won items which was expedited faster than most others. I definitely will bid with them again.

First a big thank you to Maria for the outstanding job she does packing. The extra 'TLC' shows which I appreciate. Very pleased with the items I purchased in the most recent auction. All were accurately described. Fast response to my questions. Again, thank you to the Bill Hood team!

I bought some Herend plates in auction. Ver satisfied with the descriptions and pictures. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for a smooth transaction.

A great Auction House to work with and attend their auctions. Great variety of items to choose from.

You better BE SURE you either can pick up your items or have a shipper in your pocket you can afford! The 'come on' Bill Hood Auctions in what they post is the they do In House shipping. Implied is that is fair. It sure as heck isn't fair price-wise. I do a lot of buying bronzes and paintings, etc. A lot! I've NEVER seen high prices like this quoted. The whole state of Florida is out of control with shipping high prices as well. Just be sure you really want to pay this exorbitant costs added to the already high commission and of course what you pay for the item. I was really horrified at the costs of shipping quoted. I finally had to make a deal with a shipper out of state I'm using on another shipment to 'get a friend' to pick my stuff up, hold it for months to come tell his friend gets my stuff to him so he can ship it to me from New Jersey in some future shipment I will be having on some auction I haven't even participated in yet! What a deal I "ve had to do to get out of this exorbitant cost of shipping.

It would have been nice to have known the years of the duck stamps. I was only able to use half of them in my collection.

Great easy friendly service from auction to payment.....

Always a pleasure to deal with this auction house.

5 Star Review for Bill Hood and Sons

My experience was pleasant, professional, timely and I would certainly do business with them, once again.

Purchased two Lalique pieces at their recent auction. My first time bidding with this auction house. They were responsive to questions. The quality of the pieces was as described. The pieces were safely shipped with lots of bubble wrap and in separate interior boxes. The overall shipping charge is inclusive of the carrier fee, packing materials, and a labor charge. (Suggest getting a shipping quote in advance.) Overall very pleased with their five star auction services. Thank you.

I have had the pleasure of winning items from this auction house multiple times and have never been disappointed with the items won. The descriptions and pictures are accurate and the prices fair. Pleasure to do business with!

Good people to do business with. Professional, friendly.

Very professional and helpful.

Absolutely love every purchase I have ever made from this auction house. Beautifully presented and accurately described items. Huge fan of the ease of purchase and shipping arrangements. Thank you to the Bill Hood Team!

The Hood family are exemplary is all they do. They are trustworthy, and have an excellent reputation. Always a pleasure to deal with

From the moment my bid was successful this company was in touch with me. All details of payment and various shipping methods were offered. After choosing a shipper the entire process was seamless. A fragile piece of Lladro was received in perfect condition. I highly recommend this company.

Won a small swirl piece of pottery 8 inches in height weighing 2 pounds at most. They quoted me $135 to ship it. I used a third party shipper, that admitted they were family friends of the auction house, and it was still $89.... which is ridiculous. To put this in perspective, I won a Burlon Craig Face jug from Jeffrey Evans Auction that was 16 inches tall and probably 16-20 pounds, they doubled boxed and shipped it for $60. I would advise against buying from this auction house unless you live close enough to pick up. They are taking advantage of people by saying they offer in house shipping. I am giving 2 stars because the item was as described.

Amazing Auction Company! Extremely professional and always accurate on descriptions and condition. Super nice family owned business with a great reputation.

Bill Hood and Sons are an outstanding, trustworthy company that I would gladly do business with again.

Professional staff, responsive to questions with to-the-point and accurate information. Would readily trade with again.

Working with Bill Hood & Sons has always been a positive experience for me. The auction house does excellent work, and this includes the shippers they work with.
