The auction was seemless.
The auction was seemless.
I had a problem with the condition of the item versus the photos on the auction but to their credit it was dealt with very professionally and with no drama, which speaks volumes about the credibility and confidence dealing with Whiskey Auctions…5*

Packing for delivery
Packing for delivery , especially cardboard boxes, has to be done properly. The boxes need to be folded flat and the bottles placed in a air bubble package. Not put the bottles into the actual cardboard boxes , thus damaging them while putting them packaging into bigger boxes, for transit..
Furthermore, if your auction house offered 0% sellers commission, you would get more sellers , selling on your site..just saying as a regular seller..

Thanks to Whiskey Auction for selling my Whiskey
Thanks to Whiskey Auction for selling my unwanted whiskey. From the start (signing up online), there were easy-to-follow instructions and seamless service. The process took about a month (including listing items, the auction preview and the auction), but I expected it all to take longer. I am delighted with the results.

Always had a good experience
Always had a good experience. If there are questions, they always respond very quickly. Just wish they would expand their services to store bottles purchased also.

Overall
Overall, very good but a couple of ideas as minibottle collector:
Lots have a large number of items, specially when are jugs or decantarse
Only two auctions per year looks not appropriate. Might be three or four much better.

First time buyer
I’ve sold through Whisky Auction, but this is my first time buying. Like the selling experiance I’ve had in the past, purchasing a bottle was simple. They are very clear on fee’s you will incur, this allows you put in a maximum bid know what your final cost will be if it was to reach your highest bid.
Once I’d paid it only took a few days before my bottle was safely delivered, well packed and exactly what was shown on the site.

Good afternoon Lee. Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us review. It's great to hear your positive feedback which has been passed onto all of the team. All the best, The Whisky.Auction Team
The whole process is quite simple
The whole process is quite simple. Like any other auction you choose what you want to bid on, place your bid and chose an upper limit and then wait. You are given daily updates on the auction lots when you have been outbid and gives you the opportunity to bid again. Should you be lucky enough to win you are told exactly what you need to pay, including commission and P&P. The rest is done for you so sit back and wait for your winning bids to arrive.
