Responsive and informative.

Although I haven't bought any assets through Bpi yet I have found them to be extremely helpful, informative and responsive.
Claire has responded to some questions I had about some lots and although she couldn't answer the questions herself she found out the information for me.
It's very refreshing to actually get a response from a company rather than the now common automated replies you get.
I hope to buy through Bpi but just thought I'd show my appreciation for how they have helped so far.

I have dealt with Russell and Katharine at BPI for many years and they have always tried to achieve the best price for my machines and keep me in touch with what's going on. I have recommended BPI to many people where they have had machines that I haven't wanted to purchase.

This is my second time buying from bpi…

This is my second time buying from bpi and again I have received an item which is not what I bidded on. The first auction incorrect & damaged items arrived and one item went missing before it was even delivered. This was refunded and I thought that because it was coming straight from the seller it was a one off. My most recent lot that I won again I bidded on an under-counter fridge in good condition only to find that a damaged and rusted fridge has arrived. This is not acceptable, when we bid on an item we can only bid on what we see. It is not acceptable to then send an item which is not correct or which is damaged. I am running a food business and bid on items in good condition to put in my business therefore, I do not expect damaged, old & worn items to be delivered. Especially when you are paying delivery charge and then the items are return and you have lost money on delivery.

Email to the shipping department and auction was sent and no reply has been received.

The Run a Game on Buyers

The run a game on people. When the austion is coming to an end and it says something like 1 minute 30 seconds left, it goes down to 30 seconds and they then restart it at 3 minutes. This is almost like SHILL bidding. You wait till the end put your bid in then it starts all over again. This is manipulating the bidding process. And they lie when they tell you how long is left.

Hi Mithra

Thank you for sharing your feedback.
As stated on our website and T's & C's BPI operate a timed auction bidding platform: This platform is designed to replicate an ‘in person auction hall’ whereby underbidders are given the opportunity to increase their bids.
If a bid is placed within the last 3 minutes of an auction ending then 3 minutes will be added on to the lot end time.

If you would like to discuss this further or have any additional details you'd like to share, please contact our customer service team directly at auction@bpiauctions.com.

Today we collected a lot of items from a liquidation sale, sold through BPI auctions. We dealt with Craig at the address, really easy to get in touch with and was promptly on time with meeting us, had a lovely experience Craig was very helpful with our questions and locating our items. Very friendly and personable and because of Craig we will definitely buy from BPI again. Really easy process and a great website for bidding too.
