Shipping & Delivery

Important Information

Speyside Whisky Auctions are delighted to be able to offer an efficient international delivery and shipping service. We cover most countries around the globe, but there are some exceptions. It is very important that you check which countries we can ship to before registration and placing any bids.

Countries we cannot deliver to are listed below.

EU Countries: Regrettably, we can no longer ship to France, Italy, Sweden, Spain, Czech Republic, Romania, Poland,  Greece, Hungary and  Estonia.
Rest of the World: We cannot ship to UAE, China and Russia 

Alternative Shipping Solutions (Non UK customers):
If you would like to arrange your own shipping solution, then we can offer a packaging option at our online checkout. From there, simply send us your shipping labels, customs document’s and collection information.

Our VAT is now set at 0% for commission and shipping for bottles leaving the UK. However, please note, that Import VAT will be levied on goods exported from the UK. The rate of import VAT charged will be set by your local customs authority and charged at the point of entry. Customers should expect to be contacted by their local customs office to collect Import VAT payments in advance of the goods being released. It is important that you check what level of Import VAT will be due before you place any bids, as refunds cannot be issued in association with the non-payment on Import VAT.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if we can offer any further assistance with matters relating to shipping.

Guidance: For guidance only a 70cl bottle of whisky typically weighs around 2kg.
Miniatures whisky bottles weigh around 0.2kg including packaging.
(The minimum weight for shipping is 2kg)

Shipments outwith the UK: Buyer’s should be aware of any local customs / duties laws as it is the buyer’s responsibility to adhere to such laws.

Shipping insurance: Loss & Breakage is added at 3% of the hammer price or a minimum charge of £21, whichever applies first and as standard. If the lot is not insured, no claim can be lodged for leakage or damage in transit due to the varying age of bottles and the condition of bottle seals
