My experience has been far better with the auction houses. Most (if not all)know how ship pennants. I won't bore everyone with the proper procedure, but suffice it to say it is NOT rocket science.

The lion's share of auction houses do a good job. When I was part of a small one the biggest thing was probably getting the payments in to get the consignors paid quickly. And also don't forget to ship quickly, which easily the most important thing discussed on the forum.
