Antonio S★★★★★via BBB

I was extremely disappointed with my experience. The business's advertising and representations did not match what I actually received. Important details were either omitted or presented in a way that I found misleading, which made me feel like I was not given the full picture before making my purchase.When I reached out to address my concerns, I did not feel that they made a genuine effort to resolve the issue. Instead, I was left feeling frustrated and that customer satisfaction was not a priority.

Lee X★★★★★via BBB

Sales and Advertising IssuesAnswered

This auction company does weekly auctions on Wednesday of every week.I participated in the last auction on 06-24-2026. I spent a total of ******** for this particular auction on multiple items.I then did exactly what was asked by setting an appointment for Thursday morning 6-25-2026 at 10:30am for pick up. Had some issues with a item that was sold to me but missing 75 percent of the actual product being sold. I had every other item on my invoice already loaded. I asked for this one item which is lot 451A to be fixed. The loading supervisor then said that they would offload the entire order and…

Customers do not understand this is an auction and we do NOT advertise any product. We require them to preview items to determine for themselves what they are bidding on. It is only common sense we cannot release items if customer refused sign for them. This is just an example of all the ways we try to make customers aware..*REMINDER* Our description and pictures as stated are a guide only. It is …

4/21/24 Was When I was charged $153 from my debit card after them taking out $353 out of another debit card then saying payment never went thru but it did and never received my stuff. This is a scam business and hopefully they get closed down. I have filed a civil lawsuit against them for the money they took from me and emotional damage for the attitude and from them stealing from me. Worst company ever dont know how they are still in business

Company response · Apr 22, 2024

As Always, when a customer fails to pay his invoice his authorization deposit is used. In this case customer left to go get money and did not come back therefore, his authorization deposit was charged. This was done AFTER he failed to come back in and pay. This is the whole reason we obtain an authorization for deposit. The very first few lines in link below explain in detail the authorization dep…

Item was not as advertise and was false advertisement. It was a scam posing as an auction. It stated the item was near brand new. Upon purchasing, it was badly damage and I refused to accept the item. They refuse to refund me. This company is a scam posing as a legit company.

Buying from a supplier you don't know yet

This company has no orders on Closo. Pay the way that leaves the money in your reach until the pallet is in your hands.

What a protected order gives you

  • Escrow on every orderYour payment sits with Closo and is not paid out while the lot is on its way.
  • A manifest on every lotBrand, item, size, condition, quantity and unit MSRP — line by line, and you check the delivery against it.
  • 5 business days to checkOpen a dispute inside the window and the money is still held while it is decided.

What no registry can promise

  • Never wire money you can't get backA wire is final. A score of 70 is a record of checks, not a guarantee of the deal.
  • No return flowLiquidation lots are final-sale purchases. A claim is monetary, per line, and the goods stay with you.
