Straightforward process

Straightforward process, as a first time bidder everything was transparent and clear. Having the p&p cost upfront earlier in the process would have been helpful, appreciate costs change depending on shipping location, but the cost for UK based bidders would have been useful; that said it wouldn’t deter me from bidding again.

Dear Jackie,

Thank you very much for your thoughtful review and for choosing Fellows for your first bidding experience. We’re delighted to hear that you found the process straightforward, transparent and easy to follow.

We also appreciate your feedback regarding postage and packaging costs. We understand that having an indication of shipping charges earlier in the process would be helpful, particularly for UK-based bidders, and we will be sure to pass your comments on to the relevant team for consideration.

It’s wonderful to know that, despite this, you were happy with your experience and that it would not deter you from bidding with us again. We truly appreciate your feedback and look forward to welcoming you back to Fellows in the future.

Warmest regards,
Asif Mohammad

Item was not exactly as described

Item was not exactly as described. Also, I had to contact several times regarding delivery, which I was told it would be upto 7 working days, to the be told once I contacted again after the 7 working days that it hadn’t even been sent yet ‘due to back to back auctions’.

Dear Lucy,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are very sorry to hear that the item did not meet your expectations and that you experienced delays with dispatch and delivery.

We understand how disappointing this must have been, particularly after being advised of an expected delivery timeframe and then learning that your parcel had not yet been sent. While periods of back-to-back auctions can occasionally impact our dispatch times, this is not the level of service we aim to provide.

We also take the accuracy of our descriptions very seriously, so we are sorry to hear that the item was not exactly as you expected.

If you would like us to look into this further, please do contact us at info@fellows.co.uk with your details, and a member of our team will be more than happy to assist.

Warmest regards,
Asif Mohammad
