Quality of items was exactly as expected, there was a delivery issue that was not their fault but they checked in with us about it which was great. I had to follow up repeatedly on the status of our order when I didn't hear back, which was tough with timelines on this order being tight. Order in advance and you'll be satisfied.

Thank you for the flower paddle we received today. The quality is very high and looks real nice. Would definitely recommend your company to anyone looking for paddles for their event.

Very unprofessional experience. I had to contact the seller for an update on my order since I had not heard anything since placing my order. I was then sent an email saying they were sorry they were just behind with an attached invoice with the total cost of $17. My card was then charged $40 dollars after the delivery and when I went to check my order on their site, it said the total was $34?? Very confusing process and still unsure of why I was charged the amount I was.

I was very excited to find Better Bidders and, based on the wonderful reviews, had every expectation that the product would be great. Unfortunately, our experience was not good. We ordered the Masquerade mask paddle. We requested that the numbers begin with 101, have a black background with numbers on one side and graphics on the other. The cuts to form the shape were ill made and cut marks were noted on the surface of the item. The numbers began with 1 vs. 101. The numbers were not centered and level. The black background was “chipped” or inconsistent. The numbers were placed on what would be considered the back of the paddle vs the front. Overall we were extremely disappointed in the product and will be required to find another vendor. We were embarrassed to distribute the product to our Gala attendees. I see the other positive reviews and just wonder what happened to our order.

We ordered custom bid paddles from Better Bidders for our “Ruts for Dinner” fundraiser, and they were absolutely perfect! The team created a unique bear paw shape that fit our wildlife sanctuary theme beautifully. The quality is exceptional, and the paddles were a huge hit with our guests. We are also able to reuse them year over year, which fits well with our mission of conservation. Better Bidders provided excellent customer service from start to finish—great communication, prompt shipping, and a seamless ordering process. We couldn’t be more satisfied. Highly recommend!
