Ordered on a Saturday and had my delivery first thing Tuesday morning. Swift delivery and they carry a great selection, especially beers you only usually see in mainland Europe. Very pleased!

Very easy to order, and rapid delivery

Very easy to order on the website, and very quick delivery - less than 48 hours between the order being placed and delivery. As this was a gift for a friend, he received his birthday present three days early!

Nice selection, problem with delivery dealt with well

Unfortunately, a bottle was broken in my delivery, the fault of the delivery company rather than Beer Ritz but this was dealt with promptly and credit given. A nice selection of different beers, great for gift giving.

Delivery charges are criminal

So having tried a lovely Vocation Stick Toffee Pudding stout at the weekend, I decided to go online shopping for more. Found it at Beer Ritz for a very reasonable (compared to competitors) £4.10 a tin.

Added 6 to basket, spotted a couple of other Vocation stouts that looked good, added to basket also, went to check out, entered my Northern Ireland postcode..... £28.51 delivery????????

Seriously?

I mean I know sometimes couriers can charge more for NI delivery but many don't - and Royal Mail doesn't either.

This is an absolute rip-off.

Hi Brian, sorry about your experience (and apologies for not responding sooner). We use a courier that offers a fragile, next-day delivery service, and this is what they charge for that service to Northern Ireland.

Beer RItz is okay. Delivery from APC i not

The issue was less with Beer Ritz and more to do with their delivery partner APC. They only delivered half the order meaning I had to take an extra day off work to wait for the rest of it. When someone is charding you £10.99 for delivery, you are expecting it to work. The other beer suppliers I used charge less for delivery and it worked without fail.

Thanks for the feedback, and we're sorry that you feel this warranted such a poor rating. The second box was delivered the following day. Apologies for the inconvenience caused. The majority of our positive reviews suggest that the couriers do a good job.
