Always had a good experience
Always had a good experience. If there are questions, they always respond very quickly. Just wish they would expand their services to store bottles purchased also.

Good morning James. Thank you for taking the time to review Whisky.Auction and for your valuable feedback. All the best, The Whisky.Auction Team
Overall
Overall, very good but a couple of ideas as minibottle collector:
Lots have a large number of items, specially when are jugs or decantarse
Only two auctions per year looks not appropriate. Might be three or four much better.

Great Auction site
All bottles always arrive very well packed. Everything is automated and just works. You can also buy bottles and keep them in their warehouse for a while. Absolute professionals... Everything is top notch with these guys...

First time buyer
I’ve sold through Whisky Auction, but this is my first time buying. Like the selling experiance I’ve had in the past, purchasing a bottle was simple. They are very clear on fee’s you will incur, this allows you put in a maximum bid know what your final cost will be if it was to reach your highest bid.
Once I’d paid it only took a few days before my bottle was safely delivered, well packed and exactly what was shown on the site.

The whole process is quite simple
The whole process is quite simple. Like any other auction you choose what you want to bid on, place your bid and chose an upper limit and then wait. You are given daily updates on the auction lots when you have been outbid and gives you the opportunity to bid again. Should you be lucky enough to win you are told exactly what you need to pay, including commission and P&P. The rest is done for you so sit back and wait for your winning bids to arrive.

Do not like the payment system for sold bottles
Did not like having to chase for payment. But also do not like the fact that Whisky.auction makes more money when payments are late from buyers yet passes none of that penalty to the seller.... and probably earns interest on the sellers 'held' payment.
Working on 5% interest it soon adds up on large sums held.
Also a lot of your competitors do not charge sellers a commission.

Good morning Mr Smithson. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're sorry you felt the need to follow up the payment. Please do refer to the 'payment for the lot' section in our terms & conditions for full details on how our payment to buyers works. Do let us know if you have any further questions. Best wishes, The Whisky.Auction Team

A really good fine and rare whisky auction site. Simple to use and to bid online on the lots, and with an excellent post-sale delivery service. I’ve been using them for some years now and still very happy with the way they look after their customers. Thank you.
