On February 26th,2023 I was charged for 89.00 for wine that was never delivered. After many attempts to get ahold of this company and sending them emails, finally they emailed me back on March 29 stating that they were out of stock, and they would refund our account back. Today is May 24 and still nothing. This is the worst company that I've had to deal with. They are very unprofessional. If someone from the company would call us back i would appreciate it.Business response

This business has appalling customer service. I rdered a *********************************** from here (it was the only online store to sell it) and it has been a nightmare trying to track down my order. I spent almost $100 at the end of January and was notified by *** that someone else had signed for the wine delivery. I then ordered this same wine again from the company, figuring that they would reimburse me for the first one of offer some kind of voucher for it. The ************* was also charge but I was never sent a notice that it got shipped. I have left messages for the business, emailed them, even spoke with *** and they also said that they can't get a hold of them. They have charged my card twice and haven't responded once to me.Initial Complaint

I ordered and paid $1,001.25 for a case of wine on JANUARY 13, 2023. I don't have the wine, and I'm told it didn't ship. I've left multiple voicemail messages and received an email saying one of the bottles was unavailable. I said fine, just put something comparable in and ship it. No Response and best I can tell from logging on still not shipped. they don't answer their phone and are really non-responsive. I've tried to be nice about it but this is ridiculous. It's now MARCH 16. I received was from ***** on 2/21 which I replied and said ship it with the comparable bottle. Got another email on 3/8 from ***********************, who is the owner asking again, I said put a comparable bottle in and ship it.Customer response

On December 23, 2022 I ordered a case of wine, Sa** ** *** ***** ******* ******. I paid approximately $145 including tax and shipping for the case. I received one bottle of wine in 12/30/22. The only way to contact the company is via a contact form on their website. I contacted the company and they replied stating that there was a mistake in the warehouse and they would correct it. I didn’t get any updates from them for a week or so, so I contacted them again. No reply. I have not heard from this company since 12/30/22. I just want my money back.Initial Complaint

I canceled my order for 2 cases of wine because they weren't shipped within the time period advertised on their website then when I did receive them, they are old/bad wine. I've tried contacting seller numerous times and shipped back one case that wasn't open but can't return to send for second because I opened it and I'm not allowed to ship alcohol and the cost to ship is alot. I've asked for a shipping label for weeks and received no response. Will need to send pictures and emails directly. Please provide email and where to send.
