In advance of bidding, it is important to please review our Shipping Fees and Information to confirm if our shipping service is available to you. If your country is not listed, please contact our Client Service team to discuss this further. Please note, all fees quoted are exclusive of VAT.
Please note: All UK lots shipped outside the UK, and all EU lots shipped outside the EU, may be subject to local taxes and import duties upon arrival in the destination country. These charges are the responsibility of the customer.
Info for UK Lots to France, Italy, Spain, Finland, Monaco & Slovakia:
Please note that our UK shipments to these countries are forwarded via our Netherlands office. As a result, a 21% import VAT (based on the order value) will apply. Please contact our Client Service team to discuss this further.
If you have won lots from multiple locations (e.g., UK Lots sold from our Perth office as well as EU Lots sold from our Utrecht office), they will be charged individually for shipping. They will also be shipped separately so may not arrive at the same time.
Tariff fees for your order are now automatically calculated and applied at checkout as part of the normal process.
Shipments to the U.S. may take up to 21 days to arrive following payment. At your request, we can provide tracking information and this will be sent to you within 5 days following a dispatch confirmation email.
To comply with regulations, bottles shipped to the U.S. may have a removable government health warning sticker applied.
When shipping orders, our expert team take extreme care and effort to package and dispatch orders carefully and securely. Although rare, accidents can happen during shipping, and courier companies are not liable for any items lost or broken in transit. To protect our customers, Wine Auctioneer offers Loss and Breakage Assurance (LBA), to cover items lost or broken in transit.
This protection will provide cover for any breakage or loss during transit and is charged at 4% of the hammer price.
Please note, any loss arising from an item’s condition is not covered, such as seal failures or cosmetic damage.
LBA is added automatically at checkout for your convenience, however it is optional and can be removed.
