Informative website, with good competitive prices. Shipping took a few days, which wasn’t a problem and the bottles were very well packaged and arrived without damage. Will definitely use again.

Delivery was a little slow but I suppose that’s to be expected as the wine was coming all the way from France – I was kept up today on shipping and it took about two weeks to arrive so something to bury mind if you’re thinking about purchasing as a last minute thing. Apart from that really good service and I will definitely use again.

Order made 13th December with a delivery estimate of 19th of December, few days later i got a tracking mail that stated delivery would be made 23rd December, it never showed up and after the new year i contacted the company for an update, response was prompt and they blamed the festive period for the backlog. On the 13th Jan i contacted them again and asked to cancel the order and refund the money, they refused saying the order was still on its way. At this stage i initiated a refund through the merchant as i felt like i was being lied to, and the company has a lengthy history of failed orders ( i found this out after i had ordered). To my astonishment the order arrived January 20th, in fairness it was very well packaged and exactly as ordered, had it come sooner id have been delighted. Overall difficult to assess winebuyers, it feels like they take orders and then hope to obtain the stock later, and often never do obtain it. Hard to recommend them, i would avoid and look for a retailer that carries the stock themselves.

Reply from Winebuyers

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed review - we genuinely appreciate it.

We’re sorry that this order took significantly longer than expected to arrive. While delivery estimates are provided in good faith and based on information from our partner merchants and couriers, delays can unfortunately occur during peak periods such as December, particularly for wines shipped directly from producers abroad.

To clarify a key point: Winebuyers does not take orders “hoping” to source stock later. All products listed on our platform are confirmed as available by the merchant at the time of purchase and are dispatched directly from them.

We operate as a marketplace, which allows customers access to wines that are often unavailable through traditional UK retailers, but this does mean delivery timelines can vary depending on origin and courier performance.

We understand your frustration around the delay and the communication during that period, and we are actively tightening delivery expectations, courier monitoring, and escalation processes to prevent similar experiences going forward.

We’re pleased to hear that the wine arrived exactly as ordered and in excellent condition, but we fully recognise that timing is a critical part of the experience - and we didn’t meet expectations here. Your feedback is taken seriously and is helping us improve.
If you’d like to discuss this further, our customer service team would be very happy to speak directly.

Would recommend

The order arrived a little later than expected, due to delays over the Christmas holidays and adverse weather conditions, however, once arrived in the UK, the delivery was quick and bottles well packaged. The customer support team were very helpful and quick to communicative about the delays on enquiry.

I placed an order on January 2nd and was given a delivery timeframe of 5 business days. Today is January 14th and I still haven't received the order. I've sent several emails and messages via Instagram, but I haven't received a response. I think I've been scammed.

Perfect ! Parfait !

Hello. Order placed on 12/21/2025 and received on 01/03/2026. That is a very good time frame for an international order, especially during the holiday season. The order was well protected for shipping and arrived in perfect condition. Very professional! Also, the product ordered is exactly as delivered and therefore of good quality! On top of that, very good contact with customer service. Perfect! Totally satisfied! Highly recommended!

Totalement à recommander !

Efficient and good ownership of a courier problem. I’m always a believer that a supplier can only be truly assessed for their customer service when there’s a problem and on this transaction there was. The courier failed to drop off both cases of wine and wine buyers took control and delivered the shortfall and covered next day delivery and it arrived just in time for Christmas! That true testament of a supplier taking ownership and going the extra mile!
Definitely have confidence to reorder again and have since. Thank you

I ordered a case of wine in March 2023

I ordered a case of wine in March 2023. It wasn’t delivered, for months and despite more emails and webchats than I can count - I have still never had any communication, no refund and no wine.
I still reply to all marketing emails and social posts to try and trigger a response, nada. Stock issues happen, errors happen - but completely ignoring a customer and keeping their cash, just stinks.
