Thanks so much to Better Bidders for our great quality paddles. They were able to get them to me in a timely manner and really helped elevate our live jersey auction event.
Customer
We were happy with the paddles we received. John Murphy was very helpful and provided great customer service. Even with short notice he made sure we received the paddles in time for our event.
Customer
Great customer service, great product, just seemed really expensive.

They were quick to fill the order but came back with a higher price than originally provided on the site. The price was a big plus point for us so since the newly proposed price ended up being over our budget, I wasn't too thrilled. BUT they did their best to accommodate us to be as low as they possibly could. I'd still order from them again in the future!
Response from Better Bidders Inc.Oct 1, 2019
Thanks again for your order. The pricing for any given SMALL order right now doesn't take into account the number of paddles purchased. This custom order was for only 15 paddles. While we will produce orders this small we don't produce them at a loss of course. So in these situations we try to get back to the customer to let them know of this. Hopefully the pricing logic in the website will be developed to account for all of the many variables that go into producing a custom paddle, with multiple shape, plastic, and printing options. Still the best quality and best pricing out there. We look to help you out again in the future. John

Excellent service! Nicely printed paddles with our logo. Made sure to clarify everything before printing, and he overnighted them to make sure that we got them for our event in time. Thank you!

Houston PetSet worked with John / Better Bidders for a rush job. He / Better Bidders did a phenomenal job. We certainly appreciate the relationship that we have developed with Better Bidders and recommend them very highly.

I needed high-quality bidder paddles in a hurry. I was looking for something we could use year after year and change out the sponsorship information on the back. I got all of that from Better Bidders. We made an investment in good quality, reusable paddles. The turnaround was super fast for our event. I enjoy working with the owner of the company, getting his personal attention and service. There are a lot of bid companies out there where you'd get a customer service rep and never talk to the same person again. They wouldn't be expert in assessing my needs. John is a pro! Thank you for a great experience.
