I won a Lladro at auction and they were easy to work with. UPS picked up the item from them and was shipped out pretty quickly. You might want to inquire about shipping rates with UPS before bidding. Shipping seemed pricey. But my Lladro was well priced! Definitely would buy from them again

I spoke to the owner and made an appointment for 1:30 on Tuesday. I arrived on time and proceeded to find all of the doors locked. I rang the doorbell twice and someone finally appeared and I explained that I was there for my 1:30 appointment with Mrs. Langston and she looked so puzzled I asked if I was at the address I had been given and she said yes and then said well she is not here I will be back and shut the door. After awhile a young man came and he said the same, that the lady I had made the appointment with was not there and they did not know about the appointment but that he would look

I wanted to sell furniture from my home - however I could not do a garage sale! I called Langstons and they made an appointment to come and see what I had to sell. They calculated what they would pay and we set a date for pickup. I was happy with pricing, promptness and courtesy. All in all they provided a great service and even agreed to switch out something that I had forgotten to keep from being packed into the pods! Thank you Anthony and Barbara for making my move that much better!
