They took the money and I never got the painting!
On 04. February 2021 in won (Lot 4991) in the auction the bid for a nice painting! I paid the order price and I paid also the auction fee and the shipping fee, as fast as possible, but up today I never got the painting. All my tries, to get the painting were not suceessful! It is a kind of betray and World of Antiques, Inc. should be prohibited act here on this auction platform, because it seems to be, that I'm not the only one!

Hi, You never paid for your item. This review is not correct. How do I ship an item to you when it was never paid for?

Took my payment, never delivered item, promised refund, but not yet (2 mos later) received
Never did receive items, after paying them in full. They claim to have shipped my items via Fed Exp but never would give me a tracking # to verify that it was actually sent. ~ 8 weeks later, I have been promised a full refund, but have not received it. They never answer their phone calls. Something is really screwy with these folks, beware.

I received the wrong item after a long time.
Yes, I did get a refund, but I never did get the right item. Instead I got a dirty other item I had to send back. They said they could not find the right item, and I really wanted that one. They were courteous, but I will probably never find that item again.

This is a scam, they have sent a different item to what I purchased
This is a scam, they have sent a different item to what I purchased. they item was not packed properly and individually so that the glass cups 8/14 were smashed. The item they sent they had auctioned 2 years previously. 1 of the glass cup had a different pattern and was substituted into the tantulus.

The vases showed up as presented on the auction sight.
The vases were listed perfectly. The shipping was perfect. I found that auction houses that use inhouse shipping usually is less expensive than an outside source. I am in FLorida they are in L. A. The payment of bank transfer was not enjoyable since it was my first time. I could mail a check but it usually takes longer than their 5 days to pay to reach them. Other than the payment the process was nice. Again I liked the inhouse shipping.

i am waiting for whom is responsible on a broken item with perfect shipping box.
perfect communicatrion but many problem:-international bank fees claim after the payment, but the seller agreed to wave it, great.-international shippment, the tax was removed, great. tem received.-National shippment cost the same than international shippment. Strongly advice the buyer to user their own shipping company. the one provided by the seller is not reliable.-I received a broken item in a shipping box with NO sign of impact. the sculpture is not even with a tip broken but like someone dropped it on the floor from 3 feet high. i could not even find all the pieces (left wing missing, half of the bird body) i sent a claim to the shipping company, and asked the seller to do the same. i am waiting for feedback.

This seller is not reliable
The seller pictured and described an expensive pill box with an 18th painted couple in the rain. It sent a Cupid box. And it was cracked. Seller didn’t respond to phone calls or emails but cashed my check.

Exhorbitant shipping costs!
Bought two small pieces of Rockwell silver. Combined weight perhaps five pounds at the most. Packing and shipping were $65!

Buyer beware!!!
The antique store does not give an accurate description. Purchased a Lalique figure, they described it as 9.5” tall. Actually it was only 5” tall. Huge difference. No response from dealer.

Meilleurs vendeurs d'antiquites
Excellente communication, transaction rapide et clair. De plus, le vendeur fournit toutes les informations necessaire pour faire une transaction sereine. je recommende pleinement ce vendeur. Leurs collections est assez etendue et ils disposent de plusieurs elements de porcelaine. La livraison a ete rapide et efficace. L'achat s'est deroule dans de tres bonnes conditions. A noter que le vendeur parle plusieurs langues, ce qui permet reellement d'acheter en toute confiance.

Stunning authentic Baume watch
WOA was an excellent auction house to work with. I had some issues with the Postal Service delivering my payment to them, but that was totally out of their control. The watch was more stunning than described and captured in the pictures. I would purchase from them again. The only change I’d like to see made, is the ability to pay online or via PayPal.

Item misrepresented by seller
The item I purchased was represented as "sterling" silver. In fact, it was silver plate. I paid $170 for something that is worth about $35. I believe that this seller is dishonest. If I wanted to be charitable, I would merely say that they don't understand the distinction, and are not competent to sell antiques.
