Efficient and Professional

Clear,accurate photos and descriptions on website. Good pack and despatch of purchases at reasonable cost.

Pity the broadcast link wasn’t working, even audio only. Would have bid for more items if the podium was live.

Dear Devon,

Thank you very much for your thoughtful review. We’re delighted to hear that you found our service efficient and professional, and that the photographs and descriptions on our website were clear and accurate.

It’s also wonderful to know that you were pleased with the packaging, dispatch process and delivery costs. We always aim to ensure items arrive safely and that the buying experience is as smooth and transparent as possible.

We do appreciate your feedback regarding the broadcast link and are sorry to hear this impacted your experience during the auction. We understand how important live audio and video can be for bidding confidence and engagement, and your comments will certainly be passed on to the relevant team for review.

Our auctions are all online without any live broadcast with the exception of our Fine Jewellery auction.

Thank you again for your feedback and support — we hope to welcome you back to Fellows again soon.

Warmest regards,
Asif Mohammad

Ignored request for postage

I bought a small lot at Keys a few weeks ago just before departing on a short holiday. It slipped my mind with the prep for my trip, so on my return I had a bill for storage charges. Very high for storing something that's about 4" x 6", but that's their perogative.

I payed the fee and requested a qote for postage to my home address. No response, but another Invoice arrived.

I e-mailed again asking for postage quote. No response again but another Invoice.

So it seems Keys' policy is to ignore requests for postage and then just rack up storage costs (which at this rate will be more than I paid for the item).

Completely unethical and very bad practice.

Dear Sean,

I hope you're well.

Thank you for your review. However, it appears that your comments relate to a different auction house, as the company you have referenced is not Fellows Auctioneers.

We take all feedback seriously, but unfortunately we are unable to investigate or assist with matters relating to another business. We would recommend contacting the relevant auction house directly so they can address your concerns.

If you intended to leave a review for Fellows Auctioneers, please feel free to contact us at info@fellows.co.uk and we would be happy to assist.

Straightforward process

Straightforward process, as a first time bidder everything was transparent and clear. Having the p&p cost upfront earlier in the process would have been helpful, appreciate costs change depending on shipping location, but the cost for UK based bidders would have been useful; that said it wouldn’t deter me from bidding again.

Dear Jackie,

Thank you very much for your thoughtful review and for choosing Fellows for your first bidding experience. We’re delighted to hear that you found the process straightforward, transparent and easy to follow.

We also appreciate your feedback regarding postage and packaging costs. We understand that having an indication of shipping charges earlier in the process would be helpful, particularly for UK-based bidders, and we will be sure to pass your comments on to the relevant team for consideration.

It’s wonderful to know that, despite this, you were happy with your experience and that it would not deter you from bidding with us again. We truly appreciate your feedback and look forward to welcoming you back to Fellows in the future.

Item was not exactly as described

Item was not exactly as described. Also, I had to contact several times regarding delivery, which I was told it would be upto 7 working days, to the be told once I contacted again after the 7 working days that it hadn’t even been sent yet ‘due to back to back auctions’.

Dear Lucy,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are very sorry to hear that the item did not meet your expectations and that you experienced delays with dispatch and delivery.

We understand how disappointing this must have been, particularly after being advised of an expected delivery timeframe and then learning that your parcel had not yet been sent. While periods of back-to-back auctions can occasionally impact our dispatch times, this is not the level of service we aim to provide.

We also take the accuracy of our descriptions very seriously, so we are sorry to hear that the item was not exactly as you expected.

If you would like us to look into this further, please do contact us at info@fellows.co.uk with your details, and a member of our team will be more than happy to assist.

Warmest regards,

My auction experience with fellows was amazing. All my items won was packed carefully, protected, and shipped promptly. Thank you so much. Only one recommendation: please consider joining WhatsApp Business or something similar, which allows none local auction participants to contact Fellows.
