How can I track my order?

All Rum Auctioneer orders are fully tracked, so you can easily follow your bottle’s journey. Tracking updates will begin once your order has been dispatched from our warehouse.

For orders processed by a forwarding company, such as those to the U.S., you'll receive additional tracking information as soon as it's available.

What fees are involved for buying rum?

You can find all the details about the fees involved in buying wine at auction on our Buyer Fees and Payment Terms page.

What is Loss & Breakage Assurance?

Loss and Breakage Assurance (LBA) covers any breakage or loss that occurs during transit. Please note, it does not cover damage resulting from an item's condition, such as seal failures, cosmetic damage, or leakage due to natural deterioration.

LBA is optional and, if selected, is charged at 4% of the total hammer price and buying commission for all lots in your order.

If breakage occurs during transit, it’s important to keep all original packaging and contact us immediately.

Rum Auctioneer provides several forms of secure and trusted payment services to transfer your funds with confidence.

Debit Card, Mastercard and Credit Card

A straight-forward and secure method of payment - please enter your card details at checkout. If you are based outside the UK, please check that your bank allows you to make online purchases in foreign currencies before trying this method.

Bank Transfer

For a bank transfer payment, we will provide the relevant details so that you can arrange a secure transfer of your order total. Please note: depending on your bank, it may take us longer to receive the money using this payment method and so there could be delays in shipping your order.

Unfortunately, we cannot accept Cash, Cheque, PayPal or JCB / Diners / Maestro Cards. If you wish to pay using another method, please contact us.

Shipping or Storage

What next? After successful payment, you have a few options to choose from. It is possible to collect bottles from our offices (UK Lots from Perth and EU Lots from Utrecht), arrange shipment of your order or choose to have them stored securely at Rum Auctioneer.

Shipping

Rum Auctioneer offers shipping to over 80 countries worldwide. We’ve established strong partnerships with trusted shipping providers to ensure safe delivery and compliance with regulations. Please review our Shipping information to understand the available delivery options for your location.

Storage

Our storage service is available for both short-term and long-term needs. For some customers, it’s practical to store bottles from multiple auctions and ship them together to save on costs. For others, storage is a great option if you need extra space or plan to re-sell bottles through Rum Auctioneer in the future. Learn more about our storage service and associated fees.
