Reply from Fellows Auctioneers

Good afternoon,

I am so sorry to hear that you experienced a delay in receiving your parcel, particularly after making prompt payment. We completely understand how frustrating this must have been.

Due to a high volume of auctions closing within a short period, our dispatch times were unfortunately a little longer than usual. We are working hard to ensure all parcels are sent as quickly as possible and to prevent delays like this in future.

If you would like to discuss this further, please do email info@fellows.co.uk with your details and our team will be more than happy to assist.

Thank you for your patience and for bringing this to our attention.

Warmest regards,
Asif Mohammad

Good auction although a little confusing at times. One of the items I bid on said 'passed' but subsequently I found I had won it.

Dear Sergiy,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us! I am so glad that our team were able to offer good communication and a simple bidding experience.

As for postage, while Royal Mail will charge us £7.35 to post out this parcel, we also have to take into account the resources that an in-house shipping service costs the company, which include but are not limited to our eco-friendly packing materials, technology development for integrated shipping services, and the fact that we employ 2 full-time members of staff to pack and dispatch the goods.

We also offer collection from either office and you are able to arrange your own courier if you prefer. Either way, our team are more than happy to assist!

If we can assist with any further queries, please contact info@fellows.co.uk, where our team will be more than happy to help!

We hope to welcome you back to Fellows again soon!

The bidding was straightforward but the postage charge of £25 for the small item, for local postage was excessive, especially given that the item wasn’t particularly well packed. The tax and charges added 70% to the original successful bid.
