Everything is fine but the fact that…

Everything is fine but the fact that the auction clock is turned off on the day of the auction and you have to endlessly keep checking bids all day not knowing when anything ends with some algorithm managing it will mean it is unlikely I will repeat the process. Too stressful

Hello Simon, we are sorry to hear this. We do have a notifications page in your account where you can choose emails to notify you if you are outbid. This would mean you do not have to keep checking. Hope this helps.

Really good products

Really good products. Surprised that the bottles had been taken out of their boxes and then those boxes were folded down for shipping. It could (but didn’t) lead to those boxes being damaged.

Thank you very much for your feedback Maxwell. After many years of shipping bottles round the world we find that taking the bottles out of their cardboard packaging and flat packing helps prevent the boxes becoming damaged in transit. In the Future if you would still like you bottles left inside the cardboard packaging rather then flat packing please do feel free to leave us a message in the order notes stating this and we will gladly do this for you. Thank you for choosing WVA.

What a superb service

What a superb service, I was tasked with selling my late fathers rather large whisky miniature collection and George could not have been more helpful or efficient. The auction was great fun to watch and the final proceeds exceeded our expectation. Would highly recommend!
