Honest, trustworthy.

Honest overview of item which provides confidence in bidding. In fact the item is often better than described.
Have bid on several different Felows' watch auctions and always found the service operates at a high standard.
Many other auction houses could take a leaf out of the Fellows' book.

It was a very easy straightforward experience to bid and buy from Fellows.. I especially appreciate the delivery service which is so much easier than at other auction houses..well done
I would have liked a few more than two photos of the item..it’s nice to see how ‘proud’ a ring is but apart from that all was perfect!

Great service but could have been outstanding if despatch and delivery was 3 or 4 day sooner.

I thought the auction and buying service was great, it was smooth and fun.
I have no understanding of how their despatch and delivery service runs but I was slightly concerned about the delay in dispatching my item, it was delivered in exactly 7 days, I was expecting it overnight or at least within a couple of days. Apart from that, I was very happy.

Be wary of extreme charges for shipping.

Not happy at all gave the chance to fix and did nothing. I purchased a very light handbag for £26 and was charged £61 when I went to check out. They have a basic £25 charge to mail small items which they do not tell you until after you bid it’s only £7.80 for the shipping according to them however they have upkeep cost which is the other £18. I would not have bought if i was made aware beforehand.

Dear Mercedes,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We’re sorry to hear that you were unhappy with the postage costs associated with your purchase.

All of our postage and shipping information is available on our website under ‘Buy’ and then ‘Payment and Shipping’, where we outline how delivery fees are calculated and when buyers may qualify for free postage. As noted on this page, our shipping charges are based not only on the courier cost itself but also on factors such as the size of the parcel and the buyer’s location.

While Royal Mail may charge a base rate for delivery, our in-house shipping service also includes additional operational costs. These include eco-friendly packaging materials, the development and maintenance of our integrated shipping systems, and the staffing required to carefully pack and dispatch items from our premises.

We appreciate that postage costs can sometimes be frustrating, particularly when purchasing smaller items, and we are always happy to provide further clarification. If you would like to discuss this further or request a copy of our delivery fee rate card, please feel free to contact us at info@fellows.co.uk
or call 0121 212 2131, and a member of our team will be happy to assist.

Warmest regards,
Asif Mohammad

First time in using Fellows and I purchased two rings.
It was an easy process and they were very responsive and professional to questions I had after the auction.
Items arrived by special delivery and looked better in real life than I anticipated.
We have not had them appraised but feel their description was fair.
Very happy customers and will use Fellows again.

Dear Hilary,

Thank you for your feedback. I'm very sorry to hear that you are unhappy with your purchase! This is not the service we aim to provide and I'm disappointed to hear this.

At Fellows we pride ourselves on providing detailed descriptions and photographs of items going into our auctions, in order to investigate this further, we will need some further information. Are you able to email info@fellows.co.uk with some images of issues as well as the lot and invoice number? We will then look into this further.

We will forward to hearing from you!

Good afternoon,

Thank you for your feedback. We still offer free delivery on many invoices, as long as the invoice total is £300 or more and weighs less than 500g. Based on our 2023 delivery figures, 61% of invoices still qualified for free delivery.

We also offer collection from both offices. You can arrange to collect the item yourself or arrange for someone to collect on your behalf. As well as this, we can combine your invoices to total more than £300 so your parcel qualifies for free postage.

If we can assist any further, please do not hesitate to contact us via email to info@fellows.co.uk

Best wishes,
Claire Dodwell
