"For the price, I wasn’t expecting anything..."
For the price, I wasn’t expecting anything fancy, but it turned out to be just what I needed. It matched what I had in mind and feels worth the money.

"Felt like I had to chase updates myself"
My order did show up fine, so I guess that part worked out, but I felt like I was left to figure things out on my own. I kept having to check the status myself because the emails were slow and kind of vague. It would’ve been nice to feel a little more kept in the loop instead of wondering what was going on.

"Delivery took way too long"
My order ended up getting here a lot later than the date they first told me. The tracking basically just sat there for days with barely any updates, which was frustrating.

"I sent my order back weeks..."
I sent my order back weeks ago and I’m still waiting on the refund, which has been really annoying. Customer service wasn’t much help either, every time I reached out, I felt like I got a different answer. I also had to pay for return shipping, which I might understand for cheaper items, but at this price point it just felt unreasonable. Maybe it’s fine if you’re 100% sure you’ll keep what you buy, but if there’s any chance you’ll need to return something, I’d think twice.

"I was disappointed with this..."
I was disappointed with this. Compared to similar ones I’ve bought before, this felt lower quality almost right away, and it ended up breaking way faster than I expected

"Felt awkward chasing customer service"
I ordered something from Bradford Exchange and had a billing question, and I felt kind of embarrassed having to keep chasing them about it. I sent an email and waited several days with no real update, so I ended up following up again, which just felt awkward.
When they finally replied, it sounded generic, like a copy-and-paste answer, and it didn’t really clear things up for me. The item itself was fine, but the slow customer service made the whole experience uncomfortable enough that I’m not sure I’d order again.

"I ordered this supposedly “limited” collectible thinking it..."
I ordered this supposedly “limited” collectible thinking it would feel a little more special, but honestly… it really didn’t. The details looked kind of cheap in person, and there wasn’t much included that made me feel confident it was actually authentic or rare. For the price, I expected way more. Like, if it’s limited, make it make sense. I won’t be buying again.

"Got mine sooner than I expected"
I was surprised mine showed up so fast. I expected to be waiting longer, so getting it earlier was a nice little win for me.

"Mostly Right, But Come On"
I did get the item I ordered, so at first I was happy with it. Then I looked closer at the engraving and it was just slightly off, which kind of annoyed me. It’s not a total disaster, but still, I expected that part to be done right...

"Decent experience, but checkout was frustrating"
I liked the products and the site was easy to browse, but actually placing my order was a hassle. The checkout kept glitching and making me redo steps, which got really annoying after a while. Once I finally got through it, everything seemed fine, so I’m hoping the rest of the order goes smoothly.

"Canceling was way more frustrating than it should’ve been"
I canceled my subscription, but I’m still getting charged, which is disappointing. I’ve used similar services before, and most of them make cancellation straightforward and stop billing right away. This one has been a hassle, and it’s left a bad impression.

"Looked better online, but it’s not terrible"
I’ll be honest, I was kind of disappointed when I opened it. The photos made it look a lot nicer, and the description definitely made it sound more impressive than it actually is. At the same time, it’s not bad either, it works fine and shipping was totally okay. I just expected a bit more for the price. I don’t hate it, but I also wouldn’t say I’m thrilled with it.

"Personalization was... really spot on"
The name came out perfect, honestly. I was a little unsure at first, but... it looked exactly how I wanted.

"Clear billing, but the wait was annoying"
The billing part was straightforward, no surprise charges, and everything was shown clearly before I paid. I just wish the process didn’t take so long because the waiting got frustrating.

"The item itself probably would’ve been fine, but..."
The item itself probably would’ve been fine, but... the packaging was just bad. The box showed up crushed, barely taped shut, and there was hardly any padding inside. One corner was chipped, and the whole thing looked like it had been thrown around a bit. For the price, I really expected better. Yeah... disappointed.

"Would not recommend the Bradford Exchange until they improve their billing and customer service process"

Review of My Experience with the Bradford Exchange


I have been a loyal customer of the Bradford Exchange, having previously purchased multiple items, including four clocks and two sets of pilsner glasses. While their products are of high quality, my recent experience with their billing and customer service has been deeply frustrating and disappointing.


On November 14, 2024, I ordered a Steelers four-piece pilsner glass set and a Cowboys four-piece pilsner glass set, totaling $335.08. However, my credit card statement revealed unexpected additional charges, including two incorrect charges of $174.54. Concerned about potential fraud, I disputed these charges with my credit card bank. Upon realizing the charges were legitimate, I reversed the dispute, and on December 5, 2024, my bank issued two checks to return the funds to the Bradford Exchange.


This is where the nightmare began. Despite my bank sending the payments, the Bradford Exchange claimed they never received them. Their customer service even admitted they “have more than one bank and don’t know where the money is.” This alarming response suggests major flaws in their financial management.


To resolve the situation, I provided proof of payment from my bank via email, yet their customer service refused to accept the documentation. As a result, I was left with no choice but to allow the Bradford Exchange to charge my credit card again on February 18, 2025—meaning I paid twice for the same items.


Despite multiple attempts to resolve the issue, the company has failed to address the problem, leaving me frustrated and financially disadvantaged. This level of disorganization and poor customer service is unacceptable.


While I appreciate the quality of their products, I cannot recommend the Bradford Exchange due to their inadequate billing system, lack of accountability, and failure to provide proper customer support. I sincerely hope they take corrective action to prevent similar experiences for other customers.


Final Rating: ★☆☆☆☆ (1/5 stars)
Would not recommend unless they improve their billing and customer service processes.

“I would go online, and reference Offer Up, and or Let Go, and do a comparison of what's selling versus what you have to sell. If it's CHINA, they should sell quickly!”

“Don't bother purchasing anything from here whether you get it or not, if you have a problem with it your stuck eating it. Just saying they may have some good reviews but be sure to look at bad ones before you make a purchase with this company. I've done everything I know to do to get this resolved, now maybe just maybe someone higher up get this and resolve my problem. I can hope.”

Why cannot i get to talk to a superviser when i ring up very important as call staff are hopeless and cannot answer my question as why i did not receive my item paid for

“It doesn't matter if you talk to a supervisor or not, I've talked to 2 different ones female and male and nothing has been resolved. They have quality products it's a shame they feel the need to take advantage of people. Karma will get them, as many people as there screwing over, it's only a matter of time before the word gets out to enough people to make a difference. A would be so ashamed if I worked here I wouldn't be able to face people. Shame on you Bradford you use to have a integrity when I ordered I knew it was going to be a great product, but because of your shenanigan's I can't trust you any longer. I would still like my money back that you owe me, if your reading this.”

Why did you charge my bank account when i have never ordered anything from your company ! this is disgusting , how does this happen and

Why are your reviews so bad? my husband and i would very much like to purchase your service clock (army), but are fearful because of bad reviews.
