Your auctions consistently have the best assortment of Japanese whisky and really interesting bottles. Unfortunately, the way the auction is set up is frustrating. Rather than have lots close at a set time, with last minute bids extending individual lots. The entire auction stays open for 5-6 hours after it’s supposed closing time. It pushes all the bidders to wait until the last minute but with no real understanding of when it will end. I’ve had lots triple in cost during this added time. It would be much more enjoyable if everyone bid lots up during the normal auction time limit, with extra time reserved only for those lots with multiple bidders still contesting it.

Purchased a rare bottle for a friend’s birthday.
The website did state multiple time that there would be extra cost. Shipping and duties, doubled the price of the bottle. Unfortunately I just wasn’t willing to spend that.
For a small fee, I easily put the bottle into their provided storage, then back into the next auction. The staff worked with me to facilitate the process and it went very smoothly even with the time difference for communications.
Don’t be like me and do your research before you bid!! The shipping and duties can add up quickly!!
Highly recommend to others who are on that side of the world or who don’t mind paying.
Cheers!!

Prompt responses to my emails. Advice on valuation of the bottles was very accurate. Collection of bottles very smooth.
I did find that the website auction bidding was sometimes out of sync with my online account but it was all resolved overnight. Prompt payment of successful auction. My go to auction site.

From helpful meeting with George at the Perth Branch through to the speedy payment all went well. I did though find navigating your website cumbersome. Other than that - all well.

It was so easy to use Whisky Auctioneer! It was my first time using a auction site and the team were extremely helpful and answered all my questions quickly and politely. The collection service was easy and I was informed step by step of what was happening. It really was a first class experience!!

Really easy, achieved a great price and excellent consultation from start to finish on the right way to price my item. Packaging was simple to ship to them and the courier options straightforward. Highly recommended.

A great site and easy to navigate. It's not hard to narrow down the types of items you are interested in bidding for. Once the auction is over and you have paid for your goods, delivery is fast. Also if you need to communicate with them, you get a reply very quickly.
