Fantastic Service

I ordered online but mistakenly selected the wrong delivery date. A quick email sent to customer services and they rectified immediately without charging me extra for my selected day, which would have been more. Delivery speedy and well packaged. Fantastic service and great prices for items you would struggle to find anywhere else. Would highly recommend!

A great way to buy someone close, who happens to be far away, a drink

Items are dispatched quickly and well packaged. They have a fantastic selection for the more discerning shopper and the reviews/descriptions help when shopping from your armchair.

I'll be using the drink shop again.

The courier delivered this to neighbour and didn't leave a note however a quick email to customer service and they were able to advise where the package was so it was quickly retrieved.

How to make a very old lady, and her extended family, very happy!

Thirty years ago my mother had a holiday in Germany. Now aged 88 she still spoke about how much she enjoyed the apple schnapps and how she wished she could taste it again.

I tried to find some for her locally to no avail. Finally it occurred to me to look on line and lo! there it was! So I bought her a bottle and she was really, really pleased. So much so that she has since had me buying it by the case-load to give to all her family - so we all got excellent Christmas gifts this year.

Each delivery has arrived when expected, in perfect order, and as we live on an island (apart from the two whose delivery went to deepest, rural, Northumberland or, as Lord Howell describes it, the desolate north)this is really good and we are all well impressed.

Easy & Speedy & on time

No problem with recommending the company but not the delivery agent they used. The person who delivered the order was the most obstreperous person I've come across. I simply asked that I checked for breakage because it was a bottle of expensive Carlos 1 brandy, before I signed for the delivery but he went absolutely berserk. I thought it was a very reasonable request but he violently argued that it was not!

Package left in the rain.

My order was delivered quickly, however the package was left by my back door in the rain despite my selecting the option 'leave with neighbours' when prompted to give delivery instructions (and this being printed on the delivery label).

Great service

I got some ginger beer as a present, which i couldn't find anything else in the shops. It was securely packaged and I'm very happy I found the exact flavor.

Well packaged and competitive prices

Thank you for the easy website, great prices and no hassle delivery. Only kwarm is the item was left with a neighbour but l was not notified. No delivery slip or email was given. Luckily I have very honest (rather than drunk) neighbours.

Great Product Range & Keen Prices

This was my first time using TheDrinkShop. I had been looking for a UK supplier of Fragoli and this company had by far the most competitive price for the product.

Delivery was very prompt with the new courier company and the bottles were very securely packaged.

After this first positive experience, I shall definitely be using TheDrinkShop again and can thoroughly recommend it for your requirements.
