Auction & Shipping went great
Auction went very smooth, shipping was outsourced, used Freeman’s recommendation, The Packaging Store. My piece was a single ledger sheet, oversized and they did a wonderful job protecting it and getting it shipped safely and securely to me. They offered various shipping options which was nice too. Overall, excellent experience would buy from Freeman’s again and ship with The Packaging Store. Thanks!

Excellent Transaction & Customer Servie
The item was exactly as described and the photographs correctly showed everything about the item. Don't worry about shipping. I contacted Freeman's prior to bidding on this item to figure out how I would get it shipped and how much that would cost should I win. They put me in touch with 2 capable shippers that they deal with. I contacted both. Both shippers were helpful but there was a clear choice and I was happy with my choice of shippers and even happier when this treasure arrive in tact. I'm very happy I found this item at auction and was the winning bidder.

Perfect transaction! Outstanding experience!
I am new to the online auctions world and was very nervous about making everything work smoothly. Freeman’s allayed my anxieties, made the process easy and understandable, and teamed me up with a courteous shipper who acted swiftly. My silver spoons arrived quickly. Thank you, Freeman’s for making this an easy and pleasant experience!

Timely shipping and well packaged
Probably the most important aspect is the shipping of the books-this was a job well done. They can count on my repeat business.
