Fantastic seller! Purchased a ballistic helmet with face shield—both arrived in VERY good condition and at a very fair price. The visor had minimal scratches and the helmet had no scuffs. Shipping was impressively fast. A visor joint was damaged in transit due to the shipper. I contacted the seller and the seller responded immediately, sent replacement parts, and even included a small gift. Exceptional communication, integrity, and customer care. Truly one of the best eBay experiences I’ve had!
The item was exactly as described, and the photos portrayed an accurate depiction of the item's condition and appearance. Very suitable for my needs, and the price was very fair and affordable. They gave me a step by step update of the shipping process until it reached the courier, which was absolutely amazing transparency. I have saved them as a favorite seller and will definitely be doing more business with them! Honestly, 10/10 best experience I've ever had on ebay.
White Gold Warehouse are very awesome to work with. I ordered an item from them and forgot to put my whole address in the shipping box so the post office returned the item to them. As it turned out I didn't need the item after all. A representative reached out to me and we discussed the situation. They offered me an immediate refund. This situation was entirely my fault and they were so very gracious about it. Thank you White Gold for your patience an understanding.
