Heritage and REA both had an auction end on Sunday January 19th. I won a single graded card in each. Been a regular (albeit small-fish) customer of both houses for over a dozen years. Here is the status of each of my winnings:

REA:
Hammer + BP - $330
BP - 20% (no minimum)
S&H - $10
Payment method - mailed a check on Tuesday 1/21/25
Status: Card arrived today (1/24/25)

Heritage:
Hammer + BP - $139
BP - 22% ($29 minimum)
S&H - $14.48
Payment method - e-check on Monday 1/20/25
Status: "Preparing to ship" (asof 1/24/25)

Both provide solid customer service in my experience, but it's interesting how one provides superior shipping at a lower cost (and lower BP). Things you take into consideration when placing bids, is all.

In Heritage's defense, one thing most people may not take into consideration, they have dozens of auctions every week in many, many different collectible areas and probably have 5,000 lots a week to ship from all of the various departments.

I agree REA is lightning fast(yes, I have my winnings already as do many), but Heritage is a behemoth that moves at a bit slower pace than the nimble staff at REA.
