My item was shipped before i even paid. I guess I’m
A “big boy” now.

Same here, just not sure how. I think this was only like my 3rd time winning something from them. Maybe I spent too much in the past?

Anyone else still waiting on a tracking number? My echeck cleared on the 21st. I haven't heard anything from them until this morning I got an email asking me to fill out a survey about my recent purchase.

I paid with Paypal on the 19th and my winnings also haven't shipped yet... I tried calling and emailing with no results.

This has to be the worst shipper among all of the major auction houses

So... I would assume unfavorable responses on the survey...

Several states have to pay taxes with Heritage, including Illinois where I live. I had to add an additional 10.5% sales tax, which is fine as I was fully aware of it going into the auction.

My question is: Why isn't that shown in the final sell price? If a guy pays $100K for an item, then they show the buyer's premium but not the additional tax (if there is one), why wouldn't this be reflected in the final sale price? On a final sale of $100K, that's an additional $10,500 (if you're in Chicago).

I've always had great experiences with Heritage.

Well, lots of other people don't have to pay that sales tax. The tax is personal to you. I would say it's not actually properly part of the final sale price. (If you live in Guam and it costs Heritage another $300 to ship a box to your hut above the water on stilts, should that be considered part of the sale price. Definitely not.)

oops! Not sure my post was accurate so I removed it

I could see it going either way. The posted sale price I think is meant to reveal not only how much the winning bidder was willing to pay but also (more precisely and at least as importantly) how much the underbidder was willing to pay. The differential sales tax rates then complicate things enough that it's probably better for them not to include it unless/until the day when all bidders have the same required sales tax rate. Still, I can empathize with you as another of their buyers who's had to pay sales tax with them in recent years and has later wanted to sell some of the cards I bought from them.

I've spent a shit ton of money at Heritage in the last 2 years, and sent Lee what I thought was an extremely politely worded email pointing out difficulties I have putting yet more money in the coffers with my mobile devices and the response was. . . . . well, nothing. Crickets. Interesting customer relations approach.

Still waiting for a tracking number. I wired money last Wednesday morning and no tracking number yet. Its comforting to know other people are in same boat; Heritage is usually so quick with shipping

Tracking number sent to me, finally. I guess between holidays and a huge auction, they were just slow and/were slammed.

[sterlingfox]

I just got tracking too, but 12 days from the day I paid was way too long, holidays or not.

Won't be recommending them to anyone and am unlikely to give them anymore of my business.

One less bidder/competitor in future HA auctions..... Yes!

I'm not sure how I got on the "nice list" either. I've bought from them here and there (probably about 5 times now), but not sure why my stuff shipped so fast. Very inconsistent w/ what others are reporting. I wonder what put them on the "naughty list"?

[Thromdog]

got shipping email on Monday. Interesting they changed over to USPS instead of Fedex ground.....
