Heritage shipping delays of 3 to 5 WEEKS???

[whiteymet]

Hi Gang:

I assume others received the below email from Heritage. I did not see any mention of it here.

I understand USPS and other shippers are having difficulties keeping up with holiday shipments and the like, however it also seems Heritage can not handle shipping out auction winnings.

With this in mind I wounder why they are continuing to have weekly Sunday auctions and other many more non sports auctions if they can't ship in a timely manner?

Has anyone received their winnings from the December 10-13 auction yet?

Here is the email:

Due to COVID-19 pandemic, we are experiencing Delays in Processing and Shipping orders. We are also experiencing High Call Volume and High Volume of emails leading to delayed response times. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Standard shipments are being delayed 3-5 weeks due to increased safety procedures and vendor and carrier slowdowns. As soon as an order ships, each client will receive an email with their tracking number.

Hold Times are higher than usual and our response to emails sent to Bid@HA.com are also experiencing significant delays.

We are doing everything we can to expedite shipments and responses to emails and phone calls.

When I read your title I assumed they were referring to the delivery, not the shipment.

I sympathize as we are running about a week to 10 days to get things out the door which I hate, and which will NOT be the case in 2021, but 3 to 5 weeks, yikes!

3 to 5 weeks to ship your stuff off?

I won something in an October auction and paid same day. After 4 weeks of no notification I had to complain heavily to get my package shipped which they did.

I also won something in the Dec 10-13 auction and have delayed paying until the last day as I’m out of the country until February. Looks like it won’t matter and the package will come by March. I have found heritage to be the worst when it comes to shipping times.

I don’t recall any past issue with them. This is eye opening.

I received the same email a week or so back. I haven't heard anything since. I haven't received my auction winnings from the most recent auction either. I'm not sure when I'll receive it.

They had several HUGE auctions in December and seems they over extended themselves. They were already slow because of COVID.

I didnt win anything in the sports auctions this month but picked up 3 lots in an animation art auction that had over 2k lots total over the same weekend.
Noticed they also had a couple other big auctions running the same week.

They also over charged me for shipping by $75 and took 1.5 weeks to adjust it.

Same thing happened in Jun (also animation art) was overcharged by $150 on shipping. I'm sure most people probably just pay and don't question it.

Definitely disappointing but both times it was rectified with a few calls.
