I pre-ordered a bottle of alcohol from reserve bar on Dec 2, 2022 for my fathers 79th birthday. It was delivered to my fathers house near the end of December. He opened it on his birthday, Jan 4 2023. Upon opening the bottle, he noticed a lot of liquid was missing, and there was a huge crack on the bottom of the bottle. I immediately contacted reserve bar (on Jan 4). They promptly emailed back, asking for photos, of which I gave them. On Jan 6th, 2023 they emailed me saying they’ve contacted ‘the store’ to see about a replacement bottle, and that they’d get back to me soon. That was the last time I ever heard from them. I’ve emailed them several more times, messaged them on *********, and used their texting phone service. All of which I have been ignored. There is no way to talk to someone (by voice), so I am at their mercy completely. I am lost as to what to do, and also very appalled at their customer service. I just want my money back, or for them to follow through and give my father a new bottle of the alcohol I ordered for him. My original order number is 1670023159211. My fathers name is ******** *****, which I used for delivery, but payment was used with my name. Thank you so much for any help you can offer me!Business Response

I placed an order for a bottle of wine through reservebar on 12/31. I spent $43.26 through both a gift card and my own credit card. It said it had shipped but there is no additional information. If you click on the shipping it states nothing. I have sent multiple emails to the company and contacted them on their website. I have received absolutely NO response. There is no phone number or other way to get in touch with them. I do think this company is a scam/fraud as I have seen MANY complaints filed on this site stating the same exact issue. I think they are stealing money and pretending to ship products they are not.Business Response

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********. Unfortunately the situation was still awful.This was ordered for a special occasion and never arrived in a timely manner. On top of that all my emails were ignored and there was no phone number to contact them. I looked on both BBB and Yelp and so many customers have had the same experience. I was left to contact BBB and also my credit card company. Some people seemed to have lost money completely. I will never do business with them again and hope other customers learn from your site and other review sites, to not do business as well. I will be SHOCKED if you give them a good rating on your site.

I pre-ordered two bottles of *** ********* from Reserve Bar who is the distributor for the US for this ********* Spirit product. The package arrived before Christmas as expected. They were to be a gift for my husband and brother-n-law. Externally it was intact and once open it appeared to be packed protectively. When I unpacked the two individual black boxes containing the bottles, they appeared to be in good condition except that one had a smell of whisky. Unfortunately, when I looked at the bottle in this box it had a broken seal and less liquor in it than the other bottle. I tried to call the company to inform them and ask for an exchange or refund. I followed the pre-recorded instructions to submit a damage report and photos which I attempted to do but the website wouldn’t take it at first.After a few attempts it then appeared to do so but I didn’t receive an email stating it had gone through.I then submitted a general email on their Contact Us section.From this I received an email that said to the effect that they would get back to me ASAP but it was the holidays and essentially be patient.So I was, until 10 days went by without any reply. I then tried to call, email, ********* and ***** them(with my order number since my accounts do not show my real name) in order to get a response.Again, no response.I sent another damage report thinking that something must be wrong with their website etc and did get an email with documentation of my damage report but no comment upon when they would contact me.I called again. I also DM’d ********* ******* and even it’s owner *** ****** to ask for someone to help me get a response from Reserve Bar Customer Service.To date (1/11/22), I have heard from no one.I spent $240 on these two bottles.I would like to receive a replacement bottle or a refund.I can’t believe the absolute non-existent customer care and have never experienced anything like this from any other company. Please help me resolve thisBusiness Response

On 12/20/22 I placed order #1*********182 with reserve bar. It shipped on 12/23/22 via *** ** tracking number 7*********35. I received an email from Reserve Bar on 12/29/22 stating the order was delivered. The order was not delivered to me but returned to the sender by *** ** because it was "damaged in transit." I have made numerous attempts to contact reserve bar via email, text, website chat, and telephone since 12/29/22 but I have not received a response other than the automated response. I want the products on my order delivered to me as soon as possible.Business Response

On Dec. 1st I purchased several bottles from ReserveBar including *** **** vodka. On the 13th, I received my order and the *** **** was a different bottle than the one I ordered. I sent an email and heard back that I would be getting the correct bottle but I still have not. I also ordered ***** ***** bourbon on the 19th which was $200+ and on the 22nd, my order came in as a completely different bottle. This bottle is not at all what I would have picked as a gift. Both of these were fulfilled by **** *** **** ******. I’ve emailed but have heard absolutely nothing back. I have no idea how to receive the correct bottle or get a refund, I didn’t get to gift the bottle as a Christmas gift, I don’t know what to do now.Business Response

Placed an online order with this company on 12/12/22 and they withdrew the funds from my account that night. I reached out almost 2 wks later to see what the order status was and did not get a response. Since then I have reached out on 4-5 separate occasions via email (there is no phone number). The only response I received was a service rep verifying my email address which was about a wk ago. I have not heard back at all and have no clue if this company intends to send me the product or refund the money I paid them.Business Response

I placed an order for a special whiskey to be delivered as a special Christmas gift on 12/7/22. I received a confirmation email and was charged for the amount of the product. As of 12/27/22 the order has still not been delivered! When I go to their website to track the order. It says the order cannot be found. I tried calling and a message said to send an email or text. I have sent 3 emails and 1 text and have not heard back from anyone at ReserveBar. This is extremely poor customer service. There should be an effort on the part of the company to respond to requests and deliver what was promised or simply quit trying to do business. I sincerely hope this complaint prompts someone to contact me about the order I placed. I intend to contact my credit card company and dispute the charge!Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:I am disappointed in the overall lack of ability to reach a person or get a timely response to my many inquiries! This order should have been delivered within a week. The company did waive the shipping fee. However, after this experience, I will not be ordering again from this company if they use this service for delivery.
