Feedback Feedback

Below are some comments taken from communication with customers after transactions have been completed. I don't mean to boast, but there are far too many positive comments to include all of them and I stopped updating this link a little while ago! Should any unusual feedback be received (good or bad) I'll include it here:

 

Dear Chris,

Great service I'd forgotten service like this ever existed.

Thanks, L Ferguson.

(and then a follow up...)

Dear Chris,

I ordered similar items (collecting acccessories) from **** ******* over two weeks ago and didn't even get an acknowledgement of my orders & there was no Email link on their site. I had to check with my card company to establish they had taken the money and then ring them to find out what they were doing! It will be a toss up as to which of your goods arrive first!!!

L Ferguson.

(and then another follow up...)

Dear Chris,
I received your first sending this a.m. Still no sign of the stuff from **** *******, I bet I get the second order before their first order turns up!

L Ferguson (Middlesex, UK)

Dear Chris,

Thanks for buying my '34 crown, I think you gave me a very fair price and I am very happy with it.

I was very impressed with the open and un-complicated way you do business.

On the strength of our dealings I have had no problem recommending you to my friend Mike (he lives in Hemel) who has a large collection of silver coins (inherited) he is considering selling. He showed me a list which seems to cover a very wide range.

He tells me he has double florins and he showed me some of the crowns, there were at least two '35 in very nice condition and he has others in varying dates.

I have sent him details of your web and your email address and he says he will be in touch.

Once again many thanks

Mr A Osborn (Hertfordshire, UK)

Hi again,

If you find something good you stick with it - and your site and the service you offer are first class.  Keep up the good work!

Mr Geoff Thomason (Stockport, UK)

(Mr Thomason has become quite a regular recently and is also a regular contributor to my coin discussion forum. Thanks Geoff!)

We received our order much quicker than we had imagined it would be here, and we could not be happier with it.  The cabinet and trays are absolutely top quality, and it was a pleasure doing business with you.  It can be nerve-wracking to order from all the way "across the Big Pond," sending cash (via paypal) for items one has never seen, and you made the transaction very easy, with great communications.  Thanks so much.

Carolyn and Jim Mahaffey, (Atlanta, Georgia, USA)

(Carolyn and Jim's first order was a large aluminium case, here, and 10 large Lighthouse coin trays to fill it, as shown here

Chris,

Thank you. In fact, thanks for all of your help, I've been very impressed with your service and won't hesitate in using your company again.

Mr K Eccles, (Lancashire, England) 

Dear Chris,

Incredible ! Fantastic!  Just cannot believe it, my cheque was posted on Tuesday lunchtime and just two and a half days later - at 7.20am on Friday morning the books arrived from Germany no less.

It's Christmas time - and even the Post Office booklet guide says "four days" minimum for deliveries of letters under normal circumstances. 

A truly excellent service. 
Thank you so much. 
Best Wishes, 
Mr B Kingsnorth, (Dorset, England)

Hi Chris,

The coins arrived this morning. Thank you very much for such great service on such a tiny order!

all the best,

Mr R Borthwick, (Essex, England)
I am absolutely delighted with the fantastic result that my coins, handled by you, achieved at auction. The result far exceeded my expectations and I would like to express to you my profound gratitude - as well as astonishment. Again, many thanks.

Mr E Osers, (Reading, England)

The trays are really excellent and just what I was looking for to house my Rupees! To be honest, I'm quite lazy and the nearest coin accessories shop to me is across the water in Birkenhead market, which is a bit inconvenient. I also tried a UK internet based supplier a while back for some folders and pockets - but they didn't send me the pocket sizes that I'd ordered (or an explanation either, for that matter), so I wasn't too impressed.

So thanks to Predecimal!!

Miss L Evans, (Liverpool, England)

Finding my way around the site was easy, as was the process for selecting the items and the payment process was quite painless! Because I am quite new to the hobby - I thought it was Christmas when I saw the stuff on the website that I'd read about in books!

Mr P Venter, (Yorkshire, England)

Thank you very much for helping me with this coins authentication. The forgery is now removed from the main silver collection and put in the 'Collection of Frauds'.

By the way, your web site is cool!

Mr O Halme, (Norway)

...I am new to all this, so I got the Coin News (UK Coin magazine from Token publishing) and just looked up all the advertisers with web sites, and I must say that yours is one of the best.

Mr R Birch, (Sussex, England)

I must say that I'm very impressed with your web site. So much interesting content and useful information (spoken as a non-coin collector). As a project manager for an internet project, I have come to respect good quality sites. Keep up the good work.

Regards

Mr J Plews
Project Curator www.transportarchive.org.uk 

(Leicestershire, England)

I wanted to tell you, after looking at a few UK coin websites, that you have the best one by far, and also your selection of coins. I'm very glad you are there! I have looked at other sites, but haven't bought from anybody else because their sites are all a mess. I also know if you say it's an EF it's going to be an EF, and that I don't have to worry about the kind of thing found all over the place

Mr E Shuldt. (New York, USA) Mr Shuldt is a respected British coin collector and fast becoming a regular customer. He's already on his third order in a matter of weeks.

I'm so impressed with the speed and efficiency that you offer!! I've paid via credit card via your link. Thanks very much. All the best.

(if I need more, I'll be sure to contact you)

Mr M West, (Berkshire, England)

About Chris.................... I bought my very first coin on eBay 
from Chris. He has always been straight and honest. His grading is 
sensible. I have met him once in London when he purchased a batch of spares I had which were too heavy to post. I have bought a number of coins from him over the past two years. He even located a 1934 Wreath crown for me in the US which I subsequently bought for US$1500. He has now moved to Germany from the UK and is starting to trade properly from his new base. I would not hesitate to recommend him to you as all my dealings have been honest and trouble free. 


Dorian D, (England and Sweden)

It is indeed a pleasure to provide a reference for Chris Perkins. I have been dealing with Chris for almost 3 years now and can honestly say that he has earned both my respect and friendship. Chris is "Old School"...his word is as reliable as any written contract could possibly be. He treats all transactions as if they were his first. His integrity even extends into the often murky realm of coin grading. He has been, and will continue to be, a leader in the all but lost battle to establish fair grading practices on the internet. I can not give a higher recommendation than but to say that Chris Perkins is a true friend to the coin collector.

Mark Rosner, Phoenix (USA) Since writing those kind words, Mark, who became my friend was sadly struck by a severe Heart Attack and passed away in mid June 2003. My tribute to the Great Collector.
Just to let you know I received the set today - better than I expected!

Thanks for a great & friendly transaction. I've left you positive
feedback, and I appreciate that which you left for me.

Andy Price (USA)
Permit me to share with you the marvelous piece of news that the shipment of the 1953 silver British crown BU, the assortment of the 1797 cartwheel penny,1806,1807 pennies reached America safely! I was especially pleased with the lovely 1953 crown which will be an ideal mate to the one already in the collection! Also it was almost like stepping back in time back to the Napoleonic wars when the balance of power in Europe was on the scales having in my hand a historic artifact from that period. I certainly enjoy and valued our friendship very highly 
and look forward to our next transatlantic transaction soon! Take care my trusted friend and enjoy the coming fall season!

Very Sincerely Yours 
Robert Franzius (USA)

Hiya Chris,
Just to let you know, the penny arrived safely this morning. Many thanks! My Gran, every inch the family matriarch, was born on 1916 so I thought to do "something" with the coin and include it in her birthday gift this year. So, thanks for your help in finding 'something different' for Gran. Will leave feedback on your eBay account. All the best for your present and future auctions.
Take care,
Lorna Campbell (England, UK)
Hi again Chris,
Crowns arrived safely to-day, thank you. Hope we can deal again. Hope you enjoy the long week-end celebrations. 
Kind Regards,
Claude Peace (Orkney, Scotland, UK)

Just want to inform you that the book and coin arrived safely today. Thank you very much for conducting the transaction safely and promptly. I will leave positive feedback about you on eBay as soon as I figure out how to do it.

All the best,

Michael Burke (London, England, UK)
Received shilling today. Great coin. Thanks for the opportunity to bid and the quick shipment.
