Hailsham Wine Cellars shop closed but warehouse & online store open

Hailsham Wine Cellars has closed due to the fact that their lease has expired and I'm very sorry to see it go. There were tastings each month, a special, bumper one at Christmas and always excellent help and advice on hand. However, all is not lost - the outfit has moved to a large warehouse and has bought the online domain of "Wine Direct" so I can still shop online and get deliveries to my home in St Leonards on Sea and have access to brilliant wines, specially chosen.

Avoid at all cost!

Avoid at all cost!
Still waiting for my order after 2 weeks. Payment taken within hours, then no response to multiple emails or calls. Avoid at all costs, just not trustworthy. Worst experience I've had with any UK wine merchant and I've dealt with dozens over 25 years. Website has been taken down!

My order from winedirect has not turned…

My order from winedirect has not turned up after 6 weeks, they do not answer telephone or email and appear to be acting fraudulently by taking orders and not delivering. In some cases charging twice!
Beware of winedirect. Winedirect seem to be operated by Fermentation limited, I visit their registered office today and they have never heard on them! clearly my order will not be delivered so off to trading standards and city of london police.

Hailsham Cellars hold the wine on behalf of winedirect as a warehouse facility

Steve at Hailsham Cellars has been great in trying to fulfil my order as best they can and liaised with winedirect, he has been professional and managed to communicate and delivery the majority of my order in difficult circumstances.

The experience of Hailsham cellars is very different from winedirect who are failing their clients.

I would go direct to Hailsham cellars in the future as they are a trusted and dependable counterparty.

This 1*review should go to the Winedirect Trustpilot page, not ours.
Hailsham Cellars (Neulin Trading ltd) has been in business for 24 years and does not own the web site winedirect.co.uk. London based Fermentation ltd is the operator of winedirect,co,uk. We are helping them with packing and shipping once complete orders are sent through to us, like we do with other web based companies.
If you can provide a winedirect order number, we could try and chase them on your behalf.

Do not order from them

Do not order from them. They own Winedirect...a shell company. They take your Money and don't ship. Make excuses and promises...then silence. They are frauds...I am taking action against them.

Dear Mr. Hunt
This was entirely our fault. We didn’t have the wine in stock and is taking longer than usual to arrive. To be fair, in our first telephone conversation we did offer to refund your payment and, in hindsight, that is what we should have done immediately and then contacted you later when the wine eventually arrive.
A full refund was issued soon after you called to cancel the order.
We sincerely apologise for the upset caused to you.

Unique wine range and amazing service!

Wine range is simply amazing! I’ve been ordering with them since 2010 and never was disappointed with service or delivery. Hailsham Cellar’s team is very friendly and gives precious advices to help choosing from the wide range of wines they offer from all over the world.
Prices are also very reasonable when comparing with other suppliers in UK. Keep up the good work!

Hailsham Cellars - the finest wine store in the UK!!

Hailsham Cellars is one of the UK’s finest independent wine shops. Their quality of service, their pricing, their product knowledge and overall “customer first” approach is simply the best there is. This company sets the benchmark for vale add and value for money. I cannot recommend them highly enough!!
