My First Time Buying at an Online Auction
This was my first time buying at an online auction (other than eBay). Alderfer Auctions kept me in the loop from my winning bid to the delivery of the item. The invoice arrived promptly, they notified me when they would charge my credit card, and provided me with a tracking number when the package was shipped. The package arrived well packed in a very strong cardboard container. I would highly recommend Alderfer Auction!
