    They will give you all broken items and if it's not more then 75 you can't change it or get your money back. If you want Guaranteed products go to Fresbid on shaw in Fresno ca anything you bid on that doesn't work they replace or even give you your money back. I gave these people two batteries back they said they would replace but haven't there just not someone you want taking your money. They gave me to scooter. I bet it on that was $60. It completely doesn't work. I don't see why it was in the auction other then to take money from who ever bid on it.

    The left hand is broken and no battery  They seal the box so you can't check it before bidding

    Furniture has water damage. It is a risk each time. Stranger danger alert business. You will get burned.

    Geordyn, I do have…read moreunresolved concerns and emailed you once again at the email you listed a week ago in response to your comment here. I still have not heard back from you, so I will respond here. I do have to disagree with the comments you stated. 1. You stated, "all of our client communication is handled via email, which is outlined in our consignment agreement." The consignment agreement that we have did not state that all communication is handled via email. The agreement itself does not even have an email address on it. We did send you multiple emails though and did not receive one reply from you from those emails as we stated in our original review. 2. You stated, "We provided a free pick-up and transport of your items from Kingsburg as a courtesy and at no cost to you." Yet you charged us almost $700 for pickup and transport of our items. I don't consider that free. 3. You stated, "consign your forklift through our auction -- and after it was already listed and sold -- you chose to sell it independently." When we called you and said that we would like to sell it. You told us there was no problem with us selling it and never said anything about having sold it. Please reply to our emails so we can address these issues and the others we have stated in our multiple emails to you.

    Been doing business with them for years great people great items couldn't recommend more!!!!read more

    If you expect perfect, right off the showroom floor every time, you will be disappointed. I have…read morepurchased lots of things from them over the years. Sometimes they didn't work or were damage, and sometimes I got a terrific deal. You are taking a risk when you buy but there are some steps that will reduce your risk and improve your satisfaction. 1. Adjust your expectation. This is surplus or returned merchandise, not storeroom quality. 2. If you are uncomfortable with the risk then go to the warehouse on Tuesday and review the items in person. Plus checking out all the stuff is just plain fun. 3. look at ALL the pictures provided and really read the description provide. 4. Stay away from items with electronic parts. Electronic parts are notorious for breaking. Overall, I would recommend A&W surplus. you can get some really neat stuff at good prices. I particularly like purchasing tools and then reselling them. If you enjoy selling at yard sales or flee markets, the bulk crates can give lots of items that will move. Think of it as a treasure hunt! Best of luck

    I've had some good experiences in the past, but things have gone downhill. First, they don't have…read moremany options these days for auction items. Next, I have bought things from them online, but the wrong item was in the box when I picked it up. Their only response was that I should have came onsite to review the item before purchase. However, nowhere on their website is it stated that there is an opportunity to come onsite to review items. I informed them of this, but they did not care. Recently I also purchased another item, and it had an Apple Air Tag in it. Now I don't know if it was stolen (air tag placed by a victim), or who my be tracking me and know where I live (air tag placed by a potential criminal). I reached out to them with this concern, but did not get a response. Most recently I tried to schedule a pickup, but their were no time slots available. Their site states that you are supposed to schedule your pickup appointment prior to the auction or the day off. But allowing people to schedule pickups prior for items they don't win is what fills up all the appointment slots with people who don't win items. It is a bad practice. I called and asked them if I could schedule an appointment, however their only answer was for me to was their appointment availability online in hopes that an appointment becomes available. This is not acceptable either because they charge you extra to ship items if you don't make an appointment to pick it up. I did check back, and the only availability was an unideal appointment. I had no choice but to grab this appointment ASAP. I checked back an hour later, and a better appointment became available. I tried to take that appointment instead, but they would not allow me to. They said this was because my invoice was tied to my appointment. This is untrue, because my invoice was already paid separately. All then sent out regarding the appointment was an email confirmation. It seems they are unwilling to take simple efforts to help customers, thus they must not care much about customer retention, which you think would help them generate more profit with competitive bidding. Some simple system and process changes could go a long way to improve their business, but there does not seem to be a willingness to improve. There are better auction sites around.
