How does shipping work?
To ensure safe and reliable delivery, we work with PostNL, DPD, FedEx and DHL, and we choose the carrier that performs best on the route to your address.

Shipping rates are based on the total weight of the bottle(s) and/or the volume occupied by the packaging. For example, large bottles and packages take up more space. If this is the case, you will see this reflected in the number of slots listed with the lot.

Excise duties
What is excise duty?
Excise duty is a tax that applies to certain goods, including alcohol. It is separate from VAT and is usually calculated based on the amount of alcohol in the product — the higher the alcohol content, the higher the excise.
For whisky, this tax must be paid before the bottle can be legally sold or consumed. Each EU country sets its own excise rates and rules, which is why excise duty often needs to be paid again when a bottle is shipped across borders.
- Are you buying from outside the EU? No problem – no excise duty will be added. Customs of your country will take care of this.
We do this to stay compliant with EU tax and duty laws. If you're unsure what this means for you, feel free to contact us before bidding.
