Great Assistance With Shipping
Wright quickly provided two local shipping options. Very affordable cost. They worked with the shipper for a quick pickup. One of the best auction shipping I have ever had. Will definitely buy from them again!

Shipping Concern
I was very happy with the items I purchased and the Customer Service provided by Wright. However, their 3rd Party shippers are very greedy. The Flemington UPS store did a good job shipping BUT they grossly overcharged. It cost 32.00 to ship my package they charged $74 dollars. The other charges for time and material were fine. Everyone deserves to make money. But not $80 on something that only took 15 minutes to ship.

This piece is so special, I'm not quite sure what to do with it.
WRIGHT is very helpful and responsive, particularly working with Ryan Ranny, the logistics coordinator. Pleasure!
