We understand that shipping is an important service aspect for our customers, which is why we work hard to develop strong relationships with our delivery partners to ship to as many global locations as possible, stay up to date with all international regulations and provide the best possible service.
We are pleased to announce that we will not be introducing increased shipping fees as we enter into 2021. With all the uncertainty around Brexit, the last thing our customers need is to figure out a new shipping fee structure in addition to other changes – so we will hold our charges for shipping, including to Europe, until further notice.
See below for information about the delivery options in your country.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING SHIPMENTS
All prices quoted are based on a standard 70cl bottle and therefore may vary for heavier or larger bottles. Prices are inclusive of VAT where applicable.
All deliveries must be signed for upon arrival by persons over the legal drinking age in the destination country - proof of age may be required.
Delivery is available between Monday and Friday only.
Delivery companies may require contact details for the recipient. Please include a phone number or email with the recipient address when placing an order.
Due to the various ages of bottles and their seals, condition of liquid is at the buyer's discretion and no claim can be lodged against failure/leakage in transit. Except where the customer has opted and paid for Loss & Breakage Assurance, the risk of loss and/or breakage in transit is exclusively held by the customer; no claims shall be entered into by or against Whisky Auctioneer.
All orders being shipped outwith the UK may be eligible for local taxation and duties upon arrival in the destination country, which are payable by the customer.
COUNTRY SPECIFIC CUSTOMS, DUTIES OR FEES
As we enter 2021, this is one area we are not able to be so concrete on. At the time of writing, there still is not a clear agreement between the UK and EU, so, after 31 December 2020, shipments between the UK and European Union countries may be liable for local customs/duties charges. These charges will likely vary from country to country and we would recommend finding out what the charges will be for your country before bidding. A good place to start is your government’s website to see if they offer any guidance on what tariffs will apply from 1 January 2021.
