I've done many send-in and pre-order…

I've done many send-in and pre-order autographs from SWAU over the last few years. Every item has been signed exactly as I wanted and they are very good at keeping people updated weekly with their signings. Some of the signings I've participated in are Anthony Hopkins, Sarah Natochenny, Matthew Lillard and Jack Quaid.

One thing to keep in mind in dealing with any autograph promoter and especially ones offering non-convention autographs, they will potentially take months. It's not the company's fault for the delays most of the time but rather the lowest priority for the celebrity.

They lost an item

I used them three times for their send in services. The first time went great. The second time, they couldn’t find my item but then it turned up thankfully. The third time, they lost my item. They did reimburse me the cost of the item. But I no longer trust them.

Great company

Great company, top notch in service for everything in the autograph hobby. I've placed numerous orders with swau and always received items in superior packaging, if there was ever an issue it was handled promptly and professionally. I will continue to be a customer of SWAU.

Always have a good experience with SWAU

Always have a good experience with SWAU. I have been a VIP member since they opened it up and have been more than pleased with the experience: the ability they have to get great named talent; guarantee that I can get character names or personalization or quotes even if for an extra fee (this is the way things are these days and I'm just grateful I can get the guarantee by paying extra instead of hoping they'll have time at a show); the safe way they package my items and get them to me; the very friendly and informative customer service; the great availability of quality photos or posters from the talent's career; and so much more. They are great to talk with and willing to help out. I highly recommend giving them a try. Most trusted sellers I have encountered (and I've tried others who have made me wait for years only to lose my invoice or cancel the signing altogether).

reliable and communicative

I different companies that offer autograph services and none of them have come close to the experience of dealing with SWAU. They are professional and always communicative along the process I have numerous nightmare stories from dealing with other companies and I’m glad when assigning I wish to participated is big run by SWAU.

Preordered a 16x20 photo and send In poster

Preordered a 16x20 photo, to get signed at LACC, received super fast and in immaculate shape. Signed by two office actors. Also had 3 Ahsoka actors sign a poster, at the same event. Signatures came out great, in the spot requested and in the requested color. Thanks SWAU! A+++

SWAU is the tops!

SWAU is the tops!! I have been using SWAU's various services since 2017/2018 and have never trusted an autograph company so implicitly with sending in my cherished and/or valuable signed posters.

I have also worked with SWAU Auctions as a consignor of movie props and as a consultant/expert for movie prop authentication (via my company The Horror & SciFi Prop Preservation Association) and can fully say, from all I saw, they have the utmost integrity and honesty in what they do.

SWAU Top Notch Service

Been using SWAU since I discovered them on Facebook. Instantly became a VIP member and have never been disappointed with their service. Autographs may take awhile but that's on the celebrity not SWAU. Will continue to use them for years to come

This company is amazing

This company is amazing. I found them just over two years ago and since then have been blown away by their service, prices, customer service, member perks and talent they bring in. I’ve since looked into other companies just to see and did not waste any of my money on them. SWAU is the way to go, whether you are brand new to collecting like myself or a veteran of the hobby.
