WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY


Professional and excellent communication - My experience with this company has always been positive. Their descriptions of items I have purchased has been accurate and I have been more than happy with my purchases. Their process for delivery has been exceptional , you are kept informed on where your item is and it usually arrives within a week even through COVID. I do not live in New South Wales so I do not have the ability to view or pick up my purchases. When I have emailed queries on items, or purchased items after an auction, the Customer Service team representatives have always provided great service and communicated promptly.

Online Auction Buyer and very satisfied - I have found the Online Auction process reliable and transparent. Items are well and honestly described with certificates displayed for diamonds and adequate images and videos available for examination. Estimates also seem reasonable but as one would expect, they are slightly on the high side to encourage bidding competition. No surprises there at all. Service has been efficient and obliging in terms of either pick-up or delivery.

Great company to deal with and "perfectly" honest - I have only purchased one Watch as a private buyer but First State Aauctions were terrific. It did not matter that my purchase was fairly low value compared to other items - the service was excellent.

Wonderful Customer service and Superb product - Louise from First State was professional and truthful. She described the item 100% accurately and I was thrilled to receive it. She always responded to e mails promptly and never appeared rushed. As a result I will buy from First State again. Thank you Louise. Appreciated.

Love my purchase(s) - First State Auctions are a great way of buying jewellery. I like the fact that it is not live and you don't need to sit through all the items to get to the item you are interested in. Nothing is too much trouble, i have spoken with Louise often and asked measurements or a photo of a ring on a finger. They are happy to show you an item pre auction.

A good first experience -This was my first attempt to bid online, so I was pleased that I could work it out. My bid wasn't successful, so Louise emailed me to see if I wanted to make another offer, which I did and it was accepted. There was no pressure and Louise was very helpful.I'm very pleased with the charming peridot and diamond pendant, which is for a teenage grand-daughter. It is a lovely clear stone and the diamonds really complement it. I'd be happy to use them again

They couldn’t do enough to help! - I have purchased two items at auction and both times the description and product have been top quality, just perfect for the occasion. The aftercare was also fantastic, needed a quick dispatch, as the purchase was for a gift and as my title says, they couldn’t do anything more to be more accomodating, delivered quickly at no extra cost! Honestly 5 stars!

Wonderful Service and Superior Quality Jewellery - Found this Auction House through internet surfing. Detail of the item I purchased was spot on. Enquires to customer service went through right away. No phone tag and multiple calls trying to reach them. Every step of the process was smooth and confidential, from registering, shipping and receiving. I would highly recommend this Auction House, and use them again.

FSA is a premium operation. Operating in a virtual environment can be challenging to the provision of meaningful service and FSA is fortunate to have Louise Herbert who combines an ethical understanding of buyer/seller protocols with the emotional intelligence to interact sensitively with both.

I have bought a few watches with First State Auctions over the years. I bought at better prices than I could find on the net- all watches came with independent certification and warranty. Honest and trustworthy business.

Very easy process and an amazing staff that is always there to answer your questions. Louise even went so far as going and taking extra photos of the item I enquired about which made me so much more confident about the purchase.

Bought a Raymond Weil Maestro watch. Brand new , in the box, full warranty. This is a government auction site, so everything is guaranteed . Ended up by paying about 50% less than what would be paid thru a jeweller. Great watch, excellent auction site where huge savings can be made.

Amazing service, perfect products and overall good experience.

I was purchasing my first watch from FSA, and needed some assistance with understanding how it worked. I contacted the support live chat, and got in touch with the lovely Raffy. Raffy was very helpful and really went out of their way to ensure I understood what I was doing. After the chat, I won the auction, and purchased my product. Raffy followed up with a lovely email congratulating me and helped facilitate the product getting delivered to me, which was really nice. You never see outstanding customer service like this nowadays. Really made it special!

Overall, was an amazing experience, and I will definitely be eying out their wares in future. If you're in the market for something to treat yourself, make sure you check out their products, and talk to their team. You'd be surprised how fun bidding can be!

This is my second time purchasing jewellery through the online auction at First State Auctions and I can thoroughly recommend both the customer service and the quality of the pieces they have on offer. Not only is it simple to purchase but also fun! Excellent value for money too - all the pieces come with valuation certificates so you can be confident with your purchase, I dealt with Louise and Lydia and both ladies were courteous and professional. Will definitely purchase again - thank you!
