No In-House Shipping. 3rd Party USP Store was outrageously high!
The Auction house was decent. Even though they didn't deliver the items to the shipper in good order. The shipping costs is what gets me. Their shipper has an obvious monopoly and gets away with charging 4-5 times what it should have cost to ship a couple of small items. Bidder beware!

Greetings, Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We immediately followed up with the shipper regarding your package and we agree that was an absurd price for packing and shipping your lot. The shipper is supposed to provide multiple options for shipping services, as they are not a UPS Store. Should you decide to bid with us again and have this problem, please reach out to us prior to paying your shipping and handling bill. Thank you, Kimballs

We are sorry your experience was less than ideal. We ask that out of state bidders that have their own shipping options message us through liveauctioneers that they have alternative shipping options. We are always trying to provide the best possible service so that our clients receive their items as fast as possible. Even if items are sent to our third party shipper they can be returned to us for pick up. We are sorry if this system failed you but we are confident that we can serve you better if you choose to use our services in the future. Regards, The Kimballs

Great Purchase & Transaction!
We had a fantastic experience with Kimballs Auction! The communication was excellent, and the company that Kimballs Auction recommended for shipping packaged the items exceptionally well, ensuring that it arrived in perfect condition. The company used for shipping was The Package Store (**********). Overall, we highly recommend Kimballs Auction and The Package Store for their exceptional service. It was truly a pleasure doing business with them, and we look forward to the opportunity to work with them again in the future. 👑 💐

Excellent communication and description, Shipping options limited/difficult
Items were well documented and described. Arranging shipping was a bit difficult and somewhat overpriced but not the auction house's fault-would be so much better if they offered in-house shipping and insurance.

Client purchased item that we erroneously listed as 14k. However pictures showed marks of 10k and the purchase price reflected scrap value at 10k. As the client acknowledged, the items were clearly marked 10k. We offered the client a refund if they returned but they asked for a discount. We declined, but they chose not to return.
