At the recent Long Beach I asked several people sitting behind laptops at the Heritage table I was brushed off.
Before soneone talked to me . Then They were in comrehensible. I am sure they have a process. , but their people don't know what it is. I have had supurb service from Stacks , and an easy consigning process, in the past, but I wanted to try Heritage.
Does anyone know the Heritage consigning process? And had good service from them?

I'm very sorry to hear that you had that experience.
Please feel free to message me and I'll be happy to let you know about the consigning process and answer any questions you might have.

When I consigned with HA I always go to that department and send them an email such as art or jewelry, watch etc. For coin you can contact Win Callender winc@ha.com. They should be able to tell you what to do. Basically you email them photos of your items then if you agree with the fee or no fee then they will send you shipping label and instruction. That's all for me. My consign process is very simple both with SB and HA.
In all fairness, you might have walked to their table at a bad time. But they could have asked you to re-visit in a half hour.
@MFeld is a higher up official with Heritage and will treat you right.

An easy consigning process nearly guaranteeing good service from them:

That should keep Mark's email full...
Approaching the large auction house tables at a show can be intimidating. It is not clear which table or which individual should be approached.There is usually a well-dressed person posted outside the booth for security. Folks behind the tables are on their laptops, on the phone, or busy chatting with each other or clients. If you don’t want to interrupt them, you end up standing near for several minutes hoping that someone will acknowledge you, and sometimes they just don’t. That’s happened to me. Hope you get the info that you’re looking for!
Let's all email Mark this morning...
Yes indeed. Would have done a lot more selling with Heritage had I had a more responsive contact.
Mark is a wonderful brand advisor and fully trusted at HA.
Now if the “other” department could just figure out how to label rattlers correctly.

I’ve been working with HA a long time & have a dedicated “go to” person aka consignment director.
I don’t @ SB, but they’re easy to deal with as well. GC is an absolute breeze.
I think shows are not the best place except for saving on shipping. Like others have said, the reps are preoccupied, busy with other collectors, etc. Still, it takes the right person there as well; some are just better than others. Patience is essential.

Thank you and the listing has been edited to reflect the "rattler".

Mark, it worked. Whatever you did it went from 8 available to 122 available and the results look accurate!
I messaged our cataloguers and they worked some magic.😉
Thanks again for making me aware of it. And for you and everyone else, please always feel free to message me here or through my Heritage email.

In the past, I found Heritage to be pretty easy to consign to, although it's been some years since my last consignment. You might have been speaking to the wrong folks at the show, as they seem to have a number of associates who are direct buyers and sellers and may not know much about the consignment process.
That said, I do agree that consigning to Stack's is _exceptionally _well streamlined.

I'm not a fan of being unable to track consignments at Stacks while waiting months for the auction to post. That black hole is anxiety inducing.

I sold some coins through HA for the first time earlier this year. Overall the process and experience was fine but the one issue is that it takes a LONG time. You submit the coins and they don't appear in auction for a month or two, then the auction runs for a month or so, then I think it's 45 or 60 days to get paid.
