You can talk with an actual employee, not in a remote country, who could properly deal with question.
The first person to answer the 'phone, Naina , was interested and able enough to deal with the querie.
Very rare these days. with all of these remote firms .

Slow customer service and poor knowledge
I took two bottles to whisky.auction. One bottle was quite unique and needed some research done. After weeks and weeks of chasing they told me they could not verify one of the bottles so didn't want to sell it. I waisted so much time and money chasing them. I then contacted Whisky Auctioneer (a much better company) and they researched it, valued it and then sold it in a few days for a great price.

Hi David,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We're sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. As part of our commitment to both buyers and sellers, we apply strict verification standards to the bottles we list. In cases where we are unable to verify a bottle's provenance or authenticity to the standard required by our specialists, we must proceed with caution and, where necessary, return the bottle rather than offer it for sale.
We discussed our concerns regarding the bottle when it was initially dropped off and continued to keep you updated as our investigation progressed, aiming to provide as much clarity and transparency as possible at every stage so are disappointed to learn that you felt you had to repeatedly chase for information throughout the process.
Thank you again for your feedback, and we're pleased to hear that you were ultimately able to achieve a successful sale.
If you wish to discuss this further please contact us on 0208 838 9381.
Kind regards,
The Whisky.Auction Team

Hi John,
We’re sorry to hear that your experience has not met your expectations. Having looked into this, we can confirm that we did advise that funds would be transferred to your bank account once payment is received from the buyer, which can take up to 28 working days.
We appreciate that this timeframe can be frustrating, but this was communicated during the process.
If you have any further questions or would like an update on your payment, please don’t hesitate to get in touch and we’ll be happy to assist.

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.
I’ll certainly be using Whisky Auction again to help complete my collection.
