Easy platform to use and navigate
Easy platform to use and navigate, and a good selection at the auctions to cater for every budget but commission rates and delivery charges are expensive.

Excellent service and packing as usual.
Would much prefer the old method of dispatch via Royal Mail and their flexibility.
DPD are a little rigid with their delivery requirements.
Other than that. - a great experience👍

DPD used for delivery; far superior service.
Auction site always good but this time dispatch used DPD rather than Parcelforce which resulted in a far superior overall service. Whisky arrived within 3 days of paying

We understand how important clear delivery updates are, and we agree that advance notice from the courier would be helpful. We have recently changed couriers so for your future orders the estimated time of arrival should be clearer.

Excellent company
Excellent company. For those who remember the Ronseal advert ' it does what it says on the tin' this company is that. Auction...bid...win/lose...pay and then delivered, well packaged.

Hopefully a one off
Never had a problem before with Whisky.Auction but this time I received 2 bottles that had leaked. One was not too bad so I accepted that but the other was badly leaking. T asked if it could be returned and I could be refunded but that was refused.
