Despite the request no reserve was set In the end found a reasonable compromise

After a coupe of successful deals they forgot to set the reserve on my item which sold 30 below the reserved price No reasonable solution was offered initially but after a while a compromise was reached

Ridiculous Commission charges for buyers

Whisky Auction is a decent site to work purchase from The biggest problem is there commission charges are ridiculous compared to other sites on the go I will not be making any more purchases again from them because of this
C

Good range of products

Good range of products the commission when you buy something needs to be looked at because I think it s quite expensive when you add commission onto anything you buy which is unusual for a auction site

Part of a great whisky retailer but auction sites just not the real deal yet

I sold two duplicate bottles one with whisky auction and another site the other site far out performed you on price l think you need a bigger audience and less of the retail reserve prices it takes away the excitement of auction buying

Whisky auction provides a great market

Whisky auction provides a great market for buyers and sellers and it all works well My only issues are the huge add-ons from the company themselves in terms of commission and delivery costs particularly if you end up with just one bottle

solid online auction for whisky

solid online auction for whisky buyer fees are higher than most closer to old time conventional high cost auctions I limit bids just to bottles that I have to have and can t find elsewhere Shipping is costly for international buyers

Hidden costs

Registered to bid on a charity item Won the bid at 35 Cost me 5 to register 5 postage it was a jigger so very small and 6 commission All in over 50 Sure it s all in the t s and c s but it s still a rip off

Ok but

The bidding process was good I would have wished for a page where I can monitor the bidding process for several bottles simultaneously Also the communication regarding auction courtage and shipping costs is abysmal These positions raise the true cost significantly and to hide them until after the auction is - in my opinion - a misleading practice that can be easily fixed with digital technology log your shipping addresses and the system will calculate on the fly Guys you have a great core product but unless you invest you will fall victim to EU based platforms

You re very good

You re very good I good to you because I trust your ability to spot fakes which is the most important thing for me But as a hygiene factor your competition is charging 10 premiums compared to your 15 AND has storage for 3 months If you had these let s just say I wouldn t even look at the competitors

Once I made payment and after one week

Once I made payment and after one week it still keeps sending me emails that I have not paid Then after that it took another week or more to shipped out my purchase The total time taken from payment to delivery is quite long Furthermore 15 comms is quite high compared to other similar auction sites
