Bidder Reviews for Lakeshore Event Center (71)

Professional auction house

Brilliant Staff

I love Lakeshore Event Center auctions. They are my favorite. The items are quality and the pickup process is easy and streamlined.

So far dealing with this auction hours has been a huge pain. They were not able to send me directions on how to arrange self shipping in a timely manner and I had to exchange about 10 messages before they were able to send me a simple email address to send in the label. Now they are claiming I need to pay some sort of packing invoice and again I am having to jump through hoops to pay a simple invoice. Not sure if the vendor is simply disorganized or if the Auctioneers process needs to be rethought out so buyers can avoid super expensive shipping from auction houses trying to hose the buyer and on top of that a "packing" fee. Ugh. Hope to never deal with these guys again.

I like finding new auctions to patronize, especially when they do a great job. This is one of them.

Beautiful items! And, well packed.

Very friendly personnel and accommodating

Great auction house to find some really good buys and great customer service.

Great items and great service

This was my first purchase with Lakeshore and I am left feeling positive about the entire transaction. Description and photos were adequate and accurate, Lakeshore was responsive to my questions, and packing for shipping was excellent. I hope to bid with Lakeshore again!

Very professional and well organized auction house. Answered my questions immediately. Arranged shipping and items arrived without incident.

Thanks so much

I was happy with all my purchases, prices fair, descriptions ok, better than some other auction houses. The shipping job itself was excellent, everything arrived safely and I appreciate that very much. I was just really surprised at the high cost of shipping. Nice people to deal with. Thanks for getting my items safely to me.

Wonderful item, wonderful service.

Love their auctions.

smooth transaction = happy customer

Lot as described, seamless bidding, responsive to messaging, lot very well packed, very reasonable shipping rate, fast shipping.

They were simply a pleasure to deal with and talk to. Thank you!

Consider me hooked! I've purchased from LEC several times now, and each experience has been fantastic. The team there is extremely accommodating and communicative, and their offered collections have allowed me to acquire some really fun and unusual items. If i had one piece of feedback it'd probably be to offer less cool stuff-I'm running out of space! Keep up the great work, and thank you!

First let me say I got some good deals and was very happy with the merchandise. The buyer premium was very reasonable also. I checked their terms and conditions and saw that they shipped in house, which is usually a bonus as they give you choices, rather than sending it to a third party shipper. When I got my shipping invoice it was about normal for First Class or Priority with tracking, so I didn't ask the method they would be sending it by. I was busy with other auctions at the time and assumed that they wouldn't send it to a address without checking first. Turns out they sent it via FedEx ground. What their shipping department doesn't seem to realize is that only gets it as far as the International Border. To get it into Canada I had to pay FedEx another $93.23 in service charges to broker it across the Border. USPS/Canada Post only charge $9.99 to do the same thing. This is not tax, this is Clearance Entry Fee and Disbursement Fees tacked on by FedEx to bring it across. As I said, regular post costs $9.99 to do the same thing. This is why, had I know that they were going to use FedEx, I would have told them to simply mail it instead. In future, you should say you use courier companies in your terms and conditions, or at least mention the service you will be using in your shipping invoice. Would have saved me money, cause now I have to work this into my resale pricing, and it's not quite the bargain it once was. I would buy here again, but I will make sure that they will ship US post first.

The quality of the items I have gotten from Lakeshore event are wonderful! The pictures and descriptions show the true nature of the item. When I have asked for additional info, I get a very quick response. I've bid on three auctions so far and been very happy with all of them. I would highly recommend Lakeshore event center.

I purchased a heavy/large bell and knew it would be pricy to ship. The person I communicated with was concerned I would be upset about the price. Shipping was 2 1/2 times as the cost of the bell, but overall still a good deal if purchaded somewhere else. The thing that really impressed me was the packaging. Eventhough its a cast iron bell it was packaged with very high quality materials I have not seen been used before. Very impressed with the whole experience and would definately do business with again.

Beware who you are buying from! Lakeshore charged $19.50 to ship a $40.00 item-a 50 % surcharge, really, to ship 2 light pars of silver earrings from Michigan to Colorado. In contrast, I also bought a ring, twice as expensive, and Pacific Auction House charged 75 % of what Lakeshore did!

Pictures are accurate, payment is easy, and shipping cost is very reasonable. People are friendly if you call. I have bid and won a few times, and will continue. Thanks!

I’m already looking forward to the next sale! I got great deals and Tressa is terrific!! Items are as described and service is wonderful 👍

Five stars ⭐ ️

The packing of a plasture sculpture wasn't great. The item was fragile, and one corner was flush with the outside of the box, and was slightly (but not irrepairably) damaged.

Great items and excellent service

Friendly, Great items, Fun! Easy to work with... pickup times coordinated and no pressure! Always look forward to the their next auction!

Everything went very smoothly as it should. Item I won was well described with no surprises. I recommend.
