Efficient with a Rapid Delivery
Bidding was easy enough, as should be expected these days. However, telephoning through to pay was pleasantly efficient and my item arrived in a very timely manner. That coupled with free shipping made this a very positive experience. Good job.

If you can email info@fellows.co.uk with your details, our team will be more than happy to assist you further!
We hope to hear from you soon

Excessive postage is charged on single lots.
Easy to follow online auction with reasonable prices, fast delivery of lots.
Unfortunately excessive postage is charged on single lots, ie one medal = £25.00.
Buyers will need to collect or win multiple lots to get good value.

Dear Jofen,
Thank you for sharing your feedback! I am glad that you found bidding with us to be easy and that you were happy with our delivery, this is something we are very proud to offer. 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 understand your frustration so if we can assist any further, please do not hesitate to email info@fellows.co.uk or call us on 01212122131.

Good purchases but commission and delivery charges are too high
I have bought several items from this auction company. It used to be good value to buy from them but recently they have put on a £25 postage cost for some items as well as their 25% commission.

First time buying from Fellows
First time buying from Fellows. Very happy with everything, the whole process worked very well from registration to bid, the bidding process itself and finally receiving the item after auction. Highly recommended. The Bid Calculator is also very useful as calculating the buying fees can be complicated.
