Outstanding Order-No Response

I placed an order on 29 January 2022 - Portknockie and another stock bottle
Your site says available on 2/2/22 - no delivery received
I have "contacted" you via your web site on multiple occasions - no response!
Not sure how I will be able to reach someone or when my order will be delivered - shocking customer service and advertising of availability of a product that hasn't been delivered

5* service

Have ordered a few times now, never had any issues. So far so good despite some of the earlier reviews they received.
5* from me.
If I have to give a down side, answering messages is not their strong point, and a phone number on their website would be handy.

Competition results please?

I bought tickets for one of the competitions on the sight in April. Competition didn't close until June, web page says "Wait for results". I have had no response to email or Facebook messages/comments asking for the results of the competition.

Nightmare to deal with

After 2 successful orders - an online tasting and a fine malt whisky - my latest experience has been a nightmare. Order placed on 3rd July. Still no sign of goods, no reply to emails and the one time I managed to speak to someone I was fobbed off. Something has obviously gone very wrong here.

Colin you finally got your glass 3rd time lucky! We can’t tell Royal Mail what to do, so whoever delivered on their behalf, did a good job. Glad it’s sorted. Thanks again.

Good price

Good price, which is a major factor but
- packaging was poor
- included glass, nothing special
- worst of all for me was, the carton had the lid missing. A small point for many but important for me!

We are disappointed with the review and will try better. We don’t think the price or the glass will be beaten anywhere. We will try better with the packing! Thanks for the custom!

Hi John, tried to send you an email but your IP has blocked the email. Your whisky and 2 glasses were dispatched on the 3rd. Just done a quick check and it’s still with Royal Mail. We will resolve this tomorrow. Could you kindly email your mobile number so we can send the tracking link direct to your phone. Many thanks

A little bumpy to begin with as my bottle got put with the Fathers day delivarys and was a bit concerned as I had no idea why i hadnt recieved a delivary number.
I contacted them via Email and was responded to within the hour with an explanation and Apology and little something extra for the inconvenience. Very happy with the service.

Inaccurate inventory/product list

Inaccurate inventory/product list. Erroneous order dispatched email. No delivery. Order cancelled. Zero communication of order status despite attempting to make contact by email, phone, facebook, google maps. Only consolation star was for issuing refund without me asking (well I couldnt even if I wanted to!)

Rohan, you were advised that we were out of stock. You requested a refund and that has been processed. Some items are limited and go on back order. We can only apologise.

The worst

The worst
Do not use, I am still awaiting my refund, They have no customer care at all. I had to phone three times to ask where my whisky was ? They eventually told me they didn't have it in stock. They don't respond to emails, comms is terrible. Three weeks on and still awaiting refund, So be warned, I will never use this firm again !!!!
How unbelievable, you can reply to bad feedback so quickly. When i have not had one reply to numerous emails and phone calls to you. Such a shame it has had to come to this. If you do look in to the matter you will see i have given you plenty of chances to reply, before it came to me leaving bad feedback. Looking forward to your response.
For your reference - [Order #6986] (9 May 2021)
