Another great experience with Whiskey Auction
I have used Whisky Auction to buy bottles on a number of occasions and found it very successful. Their packaging is first class and the delivery very swift after purchase. Communications are similarly very efficient.
I’ll certainly be using Whisky Auction again to help complete my collection.

The delivery charges are outrageous
The delivery charges are outrageous, I have just purchased a bottle of whiskey from a whiskey site and paid £14 delivery charge in comparison to whisky Autions of £40!

Hi John,
Thank you for your feedback.
We're sorry to hear you were unhappy with the delivery charge. For this order, the shipping cost was £10 not £14 for a securely packaged and tracked service.
We always aim to keep our rates fair while ensuring items arrive safely.
We appreciate your comments and will continue reviewing our shipping costs.
Kind regards,

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
