Delivery of wine took nearly 2 weeks as DPD kept trying to deliver while I'm at work. I felt I had to chase Great Wine Co. and DPD about these issues.

Reply from The Great Wine Co.

Thank you very much for your comments and sorry to hear the delivery was not as smooth as you had hoped. Both DPD and GWC insist on signatures for delivery of alcohol, this can on occasion make deliveries harder to fulfil because customers do need to be available to receive them, whether that's work or home addresses. That said we stand by this decision as we don't want wines falling into the wrong hands. If the delivery was continuing to not be delivered we should however have been far more proactive on picking up on this issue with you and arranging delivery at an appropriate time for you. Apologies this level of service was not there on this occasion.

Reasonably priced selection of good wines but delivery proved problematic. For this reason I would be reluctant to use again.

Thank you for taking the time to comment on your order. Sorry to hear that the order you received was not delivered smoothly. While pleased to hear that you liked our wine selection it is frustrating to hear it was the final mile that let us down. We'll review what has happened here and make revisions to improve the service.

All-round great reliability, choice and advice

Deliveries always come quickly, your website is great (esp the detailed info about each wine) given that we can so rarely make it in to store, and your selection of wines is awesome. I also appreciate the email alerts when you have something interesting arriving, or when you are stopping stocking a particular producer.

THE GREAT WINE CO EXPERIENCE

The ordering process was straight forward as the web-site was easy to navigate. The product arrived undamaged at my address due to the good packaging.
I would buy from his seller again

Your delivery company lied

Your delivery company lied saying I had altered the day for delivery shortly after they had been nearby but made no attempt to visit ( this was confirmed by your call handler ). I had therefore wasted a half day staying home .i have now changed back to a supplier with a reliable delivery. I’ve had no apology let alone recompense for the wasted time

Excellent service

Excellent service - arrived within a couple of days, wine very well packaged - superb value for money for a case of 12 bottles. Lovely gift card with wording exactly as required . Highly Recommend
