Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 117 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the excellent service, noting the prompt dispatch and careful packaging of items. Many appreciate the well-managed auction process, clear communication, and accurate valuations, making the experience stress-free and exciting. The website is frequently highlighted as easy to use, offering a great variety of products and efficient bidding. However, some people mentioned issues with delivery services, citing delays, misleading tracking information, and rigid delivery requirements from certain couriers.

Additionally, one reviewer noted disappointment with the auction's bid reset feature, which could lead to losing winning bids.

Excellent & Prefessional Service

I was very pleased with the service I received from Whisky Auction. From my first contact with them to the conclusion of the sales of my lots the whole procedure was handled in a very professional & friendly manner with prompt payment at the end of the auction. I can wholly commend Whisky Auction should you have any spirits or fine wine to dispose of.
They are very nice to deal with

Fettercairn 40

I bid unsuccessfully on a Fettercairn 40 (reserve not met). I was asked to submit a rebid after the auction closed and am now the proud owner of said bottle. Can't thank WA enough for providing the opportunity I thought I'd missed.
