They offered less than half of what I had paid. I would use extreme caution dealing with this organization

I am searching for a company to help me with my parents belongings as they've passed and their…read morebelongings are gorgeous and well made. When I did a google search I called the company with the most reviews but it felt impersonal. I did a yelp search and this company came up. I just had a lovely conversation with a women (who's name I didn't get) she was polite, attentive and if she were servicing my area I would have hired her and I asked more then once if she had anyone in my area but we're too far to be efficient. What I appreciated most was how she clearly summarized how the business works so that I would have something to base my search on- what's included what's not, what they do, how they do what they do, what to expect from start to end- that required time and professionalism. She made me feel like a client despite being out of her jurisdiction. Dear Ms- I thank you for your time and appreciate your kindness and I am grateful you answered my call. It was perfect timing to have connected with you and you set the bar for the service I am seeking in your industry! If you're looking for help, and you're in the Ottawa and surrounding area- I hope you give this business a call and mention my review so you show you're invested in this process and you'll I feel confident in saying this business will be invested in you also.

I was very disappointed in the service offered by Estate Sales Ontario. My brother passed away in…read moreearly July. Estate Sales Ontario arranged a sale in late August. The auction day went well. However, the Estate Sales Ontario owner had promised us that she would dispose of any unsold items in my brother's apartment. (This promise was also on her website at the time.) This did not happen. We were left with one week to dispose of various large items ourselves in a difficult time of Covid. The owner promised a prompt reckoning and payment from the auction. This also did not happen. It took several months and repeated reminders for any payment to arrive. The owner told us she had "overlooked" our payment because she was so busy. I live in another province. It took three months for items I bid on to arrive. Expect politeness and promises when you first talk to this owner but little follow-through. Very disappointing service.

This store has been downsized due to the end of the Jacob Connexion line, but the staff seem bored…read moremore than anything else. One saleswoman waited a safe distance behind me while I looked at shirts and moved in quickly to straighten and fold as soon as I turned my back. No greeting or eye contact. I literally stood at the checkout counter in the mostly-empty store for three minutes before I was acknowledged. Stock varies but the customer service here is terrible. I don't like being mobbed but it's discouraging to have to chase down someone to open the fitting rooms when I'm one of 2 or 3 customers in the store. Ratio of staff to customers 1:1. Not good.

Questionable auction practices. I was participating in an online auction where the bidding had…read morealready started. All of a sudden an item I was bidding on was pulled with no explanation. I called the contact phone number and the person I spoke to could not tell me anything about the item or why it was pulled. I sent an email asking for any explanation and received absolutely no reply from anyone. Obviously they aren't interested in customers, just making their auction fee plus the 13-15% extra they charge bidders. I get stuff happens but either some research beforehand to prevent this during an auction or some explanation after would have been good business practice. I have since requested to be removed from any further auction postings and I suggest anyone do the same. There are more reputable auction companies in London than this one seems to be.

From the perspective of a high-end antique and vintage dealer who successfully operated both a…read morebrick-and-mortar and online store, each for several years, the sell prices on MAXSold are beyond ridiculous. We tried the auction platform listing 92 items. A couple of very high-end antique pieces and MCM furniture pieces. For 1800s Empire Period Sevres amphorae, a pair of urns, we got $111 BEFORE Max's 30% cut and for MCM Eames-style loungers we got just under $50 for the pair. We would not use this as a selling platform again and would caution those thinking to sell on MaxSold that it is best for clearing out a home or a garage sale type of offering of lower-end items or items that have little to no value to the seller.

And, I asked if we could figure out a way to make it work and he said he'd get the painting and consider it. A while later a staff member (Andrea) called back and left a message for me to call back. I returned the call and she said they didn't want to ship it to US and was concerned it was in fragile condition. I sad Ok. I then called a friend who lives nearby said he'd be able to get / it or receive it and bring it when he visited me soon. So, I called back and told the staff member I had a solution to the situation and informed her my friend could handle and bring the piece. She paused for a bit, then said, I'm sorry it was just sold. I felt her explanation was disingenuous at the least. And I expressed my amazement and indicated her story seemed factitious. She put me on hold for a while and then I spoke again with Bob. Bob started telling a different story and then said, well, the piece was actually just sold. He said someone just walked in and bought it, so it wasn't available. What are the chances of someone walking in and purchasing a Florida painting in February in Hamilton, Canada? lol Got to say this seems like unscrupulous, disingenuous and even dishonest behavior and business practices. Suggest that any buyers proceed with extreme caution if considering doing business with Earls Court Gallery. Buyers beware!
