Shipping rates

At European Whisky Auctions, we proudly serve whisky enthusiasts and collectors worldwide, bringing rare and exceptional bottles to your doorstep. On this page you can read more about our shipping solutions.

International shipping

We aim to ship to as many countries as possible; however, shipping availability depends on legal regulations and restrictions in each region.

Preferred partner: FedEx

To ensure safe and reliable delivery, we partner exclusively with FedEx for all shipments. Before placing a bid, we strongly recommend checking our shipping rates and country availability to avoid any unexpected issues. If your country is not listed, unfortunately, we are unable to ship whisky to you. However, you are always welcome to use an alternative shipping address.

Taxes & duties

Before making a purchase, buyers should be aware of the customs regulations and import duties applicable in their shipping country. It is the buyer's responsibility to comply with these laws and settle any duties and/or VAT upon the goods' arrival at the destination.

Insurance against loss and breakage

We take great care in packing and shipping orders to ensure they arrive safely. However, despite our best efforts, incidents during transit can sometimes occur, and courier services do not take responsibility for lost or damaged items. To provide peace of mind, European Whisky Auctions offers optional insurance against loss and breakage, covering items that are lost or damaged in transit.

This insurance is charged at 3,5% of the total hammer price plus buyer's commission (with a minimum of € 5,00) and protects against loss or breakage during shipping.

Please note that this insurance does not cover issues related to an item's original condition, such as seal failures or existing label/box imperfections.

For convenience, insurance is automatically added at checkout but can be removed if not required.

Estimated costs are based on a standard bottle size of approximately 2kg, which corresponds to one shipping slot. Heavier bottles or those with larger presentation boxes may take up multiple slots within the package, resulting in higher shipping costs. Where applicable, we will make every effort to specify this in the lot description.

For example, due to its size, a Macallan Folio will be counted as two shipping slots.
