Another great experience with Whiskey Auction
I have used Whisky Auction to buy bottles on a number of occasions and found it very successful. Their packaging is first class and the delivery very swift after purchase. Communications are similarly very efficient.

The delivery charges are outrageous
The delivery charges are outrageous, I have just purchased a bottle of whiskey from a whiskey site and paid £14 delivery charge in comparison to whisky Autions of £40!

Reply from Whisky.Auction
Hi John,
Thank you for your feedback.
We're sorry to hear you were unhappy with the delivery charge. For this order, the shipping cost was £10 not £14 for a securely packaged and tracked service.
We always aim to keep our rates fair while ensuring items arrive safely.
We appreciate your comments and will continue reviewing our shipping costs.
