Honestly, if I started explaining everything that went wrong, all the internal agreements that were supposedly made in favor of the customer and then never respected, and how incredibly poor the communication has been, I could easily write more than 500 pages about it. But I’ll leave it at that.
For me personally, this experience has made one thing absolutely clear: I will never buy from your company again. Period.

I have bought a number of watches through Fellows and have found their auctions very easy to navigate and bid. Their team have been responsive to any questions asked and truthful in their answers. Of all the auctions I have entered online, I know exactly what I’ve bid, which is a great comfort and have recommended them to others.

Lovely item. Easy to use website. Quick delivery would highly recommend. I only gave four stars because I think the item should have been sent in a fellows presentation box rather than just wrapped in packing material.

questions were answered promptly and in a helpful way- dispatch of purchases was speedy and items as described and well packed- thank you

Having used Fellows for both buying and selling over many years I have never had a problem and would recommend them to anybody.

I haven't previously used an auction site in the past and was worried about the fee's attached to any purchase I might make. I needn't have worried though as there is a useful calculator that made it really easy for me to work out what my maximum bid would be including fees.
I was nervous of authenticity of the luxury handbag I bought and had it independently verified for my own peace of mind and had no issues with the item being confirmed as authentic.
Finally the product was as per the images, while I would have liked to see some interior photo's I took an educated risk which paid off. The bag was as pictured and in really great condition and packaged well.
Overall I had a great experience and wouldn't hesitate in using them again. The only thing missing was a certificate of authenticity but I have an app for that if I need.

Very disappointed to see another money grab from this auction house. Now charging an annual fee to look at past results. They tried this before but you had to have bid over £2k to get it for free. Another disappointing turn from a former quality company who are turning their back on their clients with expensive shipping , poor customer service and now further charges just for looking at results.

Always reliable and efficient and goods sent very quickly and safely
I have bought many many items from them over the years and have no hesitation about buying from them again

Clear,accurate photos and descriptions on website. Good pack and despatch of purchases at reasonable cost.
Pity the broadcast link wasn’t working, even audio only. Would have bid for more items if the podium was live.

I bought a small lot at Keys a few weeks ago just before departing on a short holiday. It slipped my mind with the prep for my trip, so on my return I had a bill for storage charges. Very high for storing something that's about 4" x 6", but that's their perogative.
I payed the fee and requested a qote for postage to my home address. No response, but another Invoice arrived.
I e-mailed again asking for postage quote. No response again but another Invoice.
So it seems Keys' policy is to ignore requests for postage and then just rack up storage costs (which at this rate will be more than I paid for the item).
Completely unethical and very bad practice.
