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.

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

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.
