Great web based auction site
Great web based auction site. Very clear and easy to join and operate. Just sold bottle of Bourbon on the 3rd December and money in my account on the 9th. Only regret is I don't have another one to sell. Thanks to all at Whisky.auction.

Good afternoon Mark.

Please do let us know if we can help with anything going forward.

Response, The reason i have nort dompketed aa apcking slip is that I dleiver goods directly rather than a courier and then write what's been delivered
When dealing with W.A, they have a great website and everything is very clear. Their packaging and delivery service is outstanding and their telephone response first class,
The only concern is their insistence that for any sales one must give a National Insurance Number and any tax ID, AFTER the sal has been made or they will not release th funds, Such demnds shoud be informed before items are entered,

Good afternoon Mr Williams.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We're really pleased to hear that you're happy with our delivery and customer service.
We do apologise for the confusion regarding tax identification. I've checked with the team and the reason you missed the tax information request is because you have not been completing packing slips before submitting your bottles for auction. Please do take a look at the first page of our packing slip form which requests you details and also provides a link to full information on the new requirement - https://whisky.auction/seller/sell
Please do let us know if you have any questions at all on this.
All the best, The Whisky.Auction Team

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. 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.
