Bidder Reviews for Cordier Auctions (1,444)

within days of the auction I contacted them to arrange shipping. My shipper was able to pick up within 15 days, and they wanted to charge me over $400 for storage. I asked them to please resell the items. They said they did not qualify for that. I then asked them to donate them. Then after several phone calls and messages to see if they would work with me to release my items. No response until the afternoon after my shipper was able to pick up in the morning did they email me to say they would cut the storage fees in half just this one time. By that time, my shipper was no longer in the area. I work with many auction houses and they are certainly the worst. No respect for their customers. Per my shipper, he has had poor experience with them in the past as well, as he personally has had issues as well as stories similar to mine. Sorry to say, I lost on this one.

had a bad experience with their shippers on this order. later had an awful experience with them.

I want to thank them for helping with getting the shipping costs 'lowered!

Descriptions accurate. Great auction house.

Great item. Description was accurate.

Cordier auction is very organized and professional. They always call you back if they miss your call and their pickup procedures are very strict and efficient.

Very proffessional and service oriented company recommended for sure!

Fun stuff and a fun auction house.

Cordier's team knows what their doing from start to finish. Concise and accurate descriptions, easy payment process, and pickup could not be any better. You'll keep coming back to Cordier.

Charges storage fees for items not picked up within 7 days. Hardly enough time to arrange pickup and shipping. Won’t be bidding with these crooks again.

Cordier Auction House offers great service, accurate descriptions and real quality in all of its offerings.

From merchandise to staff! Thank you!

I recieved courteous and helpful replies to my inquiries about how my friend could pickup my items for me. He reported pickup went smoothly. I have yet to retrieve my items from my friend but look forward to doing so. I will be happy to bid again with Cordier Auctions.

no thanks

Purchased several items from an estate, pleased w/overall experience.

Cordier Auctions is # 1 in my book for an auction house whether you are buying or selling... a great bunch of folks to deal with and they handle your items and/or real estate transactions with care!

Smooth process.

Always selling quality items Local pickup is very professional

Good experience, very pleased with purchases.

Excellent item and well described.

Great items and well described. Third party shipping is a bit of a negative.

This auction house offers extremely limited pickup appointments. Two of three days offered were completely booked and the third day fell on Saturday of July 4 weekend. I was then billed for exboritant storage fees for 2 small items with an added premium charge on top of the daily storage fee. I booked the next open day, the following Saturday as it was the only option. The office staff was rude and unhelpful. This system must offer an additional revenue stream. Be aware that if you may not get an appointment due to limited offerings and then accrue additional fees very quickly. This is the only negative experience I’ve had with auction purchasing.

Although I called and spoke to someone about making an appointment to see items. No one returns my calls. I am a highly motivated buyer who has lost interest because of Cordier’s lack of response and my disappointment in items bought sight unseen. Cordier was a good place to find nice items but now it is a bother.

So rude, unflexible, horrible service you can't imagine! Pick up is distressing; receptionist was abusive and proud of it. Working in this industry myself, I know you have to be a little flexible for your clients, lest you loose them. If I could give zero stars I would. Had they been nicer to us on the phone, we'd swallow their bitter pill. If you buy from them I suggest you get your thurs/Fri appointment scheduled quickly and keep to it; otherwise you only have a Sat pick up. It's all by appointmnt. My husband and sons happen to be in Harrisburg TODAY for business on a Fri, but they didnt have any fri pickups available when I scheduled using their third-party scheduling system (I was told they only have Thurs/Fri available the week right after the auction-it's a staffing issue?) and so we had to sched pickup on Sat; we thought/hoped/called & requested they would release the lot to us, but no way! So they have to stay overnight and get a hotel to pick this item up. I was told by receptionist "you were told numerous times about your appointment" (I talked to her once, said this to her and she quickly corrected me that "this make twice") How childish! This is the first negative review I've written about an auction house and hopefully the last; I also hope this is helpful before you register and buy anything there. Good luck.

Everything was as listed. Thanks.

After winning my lot I called with questions about paying due to error message being given trying to pay my invoice. Nobody ever answers the phone, return voicemails or respond to emails. Eventually I was able to pay my invoice and the shipping company they use picked up my winning lot on my behalf since I could never reach anyone. I don't see myself bidding on anything from Cordier Auctions ever again.

Again, another great buying experience. My items are far above average and I am thrilled. Eileen went above and beyond what she had to do to accommodate me. 5 thumbs up to her. See you at the next pick up.

Accurate Descriptions!

Reliable. Prompt shipping.

A mid-scale auction house with occasional bursts of elegance. Much local, provincial, and paintings ordinaire, but you have to keep watching cause there are surprising pieces, or even collections, that shouldn't be missed.

As always I arrived to pick up my items and everything was just as I expected. Clean, organized, and well run. My items were waiting for me just inside the door. I depend on quality of my items and that is what I get. I resell most of what I buy and I depend on the items being in good condition. If there is damage or wear to an item I will see it pointed out in the description.

Highly recommend
