This is an amazing company and the product is simply beautiful. I sent a message regarding the status of the order via email, and the next day had the most cordial and supportive telephone message regarding a sale, that I have ever had. Terrific customer service and beautiful beautiful product.
Thank you so very much.

Customer service at Bavarian Clockworks is the best I've encountered in many years! I contacted them on a Saturday about my order delivery date because I was going out of town. I received my clock that Sunday. In fact, I got the clock so fast that the shipping notification came the day after my clock arrived. If you want personalized service, these folks are there to help you. My wife LOVES her clock. I researched a lot of different clock company's and I'm glad I went with Bavarian Clockworks. Thanks for going the extra mile.

Yours is the first and only website I visited
November 10, 2017

Yours is the first and only website I visited. I feel no need to shop further. I came here knowing absolutely nothing about cuckoo clocks, except that I was fascinated as a child with the one in my Grandmother's kitchen. You provide so much helpful information which makes me feel confident in my purchase from your company. I like knowing you are available and willing to help after my purchase, should I have any questions or issues. This is a gift to my husband (we are both of German heritage) for our 5th wedding anniversary (wood being the traditional gift) and I know he is going to love it.
Update: the clock arrived well packaged, in perfect condition and he LOVES it!

Video of each clock would be very helpful during the selection process, though all in all a positive experience. The clock was well packaged and instructions were clear. The clock is beautiful and works perfectly, was well fitted and flawless.

Thank you so much for your phone assistance!
October 11, 2017

Thank you so much for your phone assistance! The clock arrived the day of my son's birthday:)
There was a small piece of antler which was broken during shipment, but he will simply use wood glue to place it back together.

Thanks again!

Site easy to navigate
September 23, 2017

Site easy to navigate. Each Clock on the site has nice detailed photos.
Clock that you purchase will take about 10 days to receive, keep in mind that clock is coming from Germany.
Product is double boxed. Included is your paperwork, instructions on a foldout pamphlet along with a disc.
The clock that I myself had purchased is gorgeous and worth ever dollar I spent.
I will do business with this company in the future.

We ordered and received a beautiful Cuckoo clock for an amazing price. Unfortunately, it would not cuckoo or play music. We decided to try trouble-shooting through the You-Tube videos ourselves. It resulted in two broken chains with links spilling all over the floor! The office was closed, so I sent a desperate email for help. I was sure we were going to be held responsible and left with a broken clock. Much to my surprise, I received a call from Bob, assuring me that they would take care of everything. He emailed me a postage paid label, and we shipped our clock to him. He kept me posted during the repair and notified me when it was on the way back to us. After we received it, he personally called me to assist with the set-up. Today, we have a beautiful clock that operates perfectly. Many companies would have charged us for these repairs, but this company had our backs! Thank you Bavarian Clockworks and Bob!

Personal service, attention to detail, responds to correspondence, nice experience. Clock was PERFECT, direct from Germany. Clock was so new the varnish still had the new sweet just lacquered scent. Great clock, great value, best price compared to other importers. Will buy again

Great service, Quick response to questions, easy to deal with. Bob was easily able to determine the type of clock we wanted making recommendations and ultimately it was the one we purchased. The clock was carefully packed and arrive quickly. The certificate of authenticity was included together with instructions for an easy set up. The only problem I had was viewing the CD that was included as it was not compatible with any of my DVD players, even though they are all of current vintage. Written instructions were easy to follow. I would not hesitate to recommend this company to my friends or if I were in the market to purchase from them again.

Easy to manage website
The customer service was excellent! Bob called me about a small problem with the order, and he made sure the problem was solved before we hung up the phone. It was refreshing to know that there is still a company out there that will personally call a customer if needed. That makes a difference! I will definitely recommend this company to others! Keep up the good work!
