Dreadful 'experience'

The wine is just fine, reasonably priced and as good as any decent internet-based wine merchant.

But actually getting to drink it is another matter entirely.

I was advised by their carriers - APC - that the wine would be delivered on 17 July between 6 and 8 pm.

Despite being home all day, it was not. No contact or explanation.

I was then advised it would be delivered on 18th July, between 2 and 4pm. It was not.

I sent APC a polite email asking for an explanation. No acknowledgement or reply.

I was then advised it would be delivered on 19th July, between 1.45 and 3.45pm. It was not.

This farcical process continued on not one but TWO more occasions - a total of five failed deliveries where I had made arrangements to take delivery. Sixth attempt, the case finally arrived.

Going to the website for a 'real-time' tracking update, it told me that it is not available. On one rare occasion, when the system actually worked it showed the consignment a few miles away. It was still showing this two days later!

In summary, the wine is fine - assuming you ever get it.

Expecting a firm delivery date for a special occasion? Forget it.

I'm now buying elsewhere.

Dear Mr Spira, thank you for taking the time to highlight this delivery issue to us. Firstly, I am very sorry for the delay and communications issues that you have experienced with APC in regards to your last delivery. I have been in touch with APC to highlight your experience and impress upon them the importance and need to improve their communication. I am glad to hear that you are enjoying the wines themselves though and can see that we have delivered to you quickly in the past and we would very much appreciate the opportunity to do so again. Should you be kind enough to consider reordering next time you are looking to stock up I would gladly personally oversee your order to ensure that the delivery service is exactly as you should expect. Kind regards Robin

Delayed delivery

Delayed delivery. Moulin a Vent past its best. i have not yet sampled the rest of the case so cannot comment.
The case of Beaujolais seemed to have relabelled bottles or even rebottled Beaujolais; all a bit odd!
A disappointment.

Dear Mr Ferrick, thank you for your order and your kind feedback. I can see that part of your delivery was damaged on route to your recipient and therefore there was a small delay in getting the full order to its intended address. We would like to thank you for your kind patience while we resolved this for you. We very much hope the wine was enjoyed. Kind regards Robin
