Bottle arrived dirty/dusty

Bottle arrived dirty/dusty, big disappointment as it was a gift. Wouldn't order again based on this experience.
Bit of a let down.

Reply from The Rum Company

We're so sorry to hear this, especially as the bottle was bought as a gift. We completely understand how disappointing it must have been to open it and find it covered in dust rather than having that "wow" moment you were expecting.

While the bottle itself would have been perfectly fine to drink, that's no excuse for the presentation, and it clearly fell below the standard we aim for. We sincerely apologise for that.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We'll also be improving our warehouse protocol to make sure extra care is taken to prevent this happening again.

Kind regards,

Tom

Bought as a gift for a friend

Bought as a gift for a friend, delivered swiftly and they were delighted with Beckford's Black Pearl Dark Spiced Rum. Great range of rum to choose from so the perfect place to find a gift for rum-loving friends!!
I would recommend this company and will be back for further presents.

Rum arrived in one piece

Rum arrived in one piece, the rum itself is very smooth and a nice rum taken neat, I’m looking forward to offering it to guests.
I would like to leave a review on the packaging, the box itself was packed in bubble wrap, not a problem the box itself was fine but if I could make a suggestion, could some bubble wrap be placed around the bottle inside the box, my bottle was rattling around inside the box, on the plus side the bottle hadn’t broken. I will definitely be recommending this rum. Great that you deliver to the Isle of Man too, thank you.

Amazing company that is very helpful! The rum I wanted was out of stock but they was quick to email and help me pick and alternative to the same cost and email me when it was dispatched! Any queries was answered quickly and efficiently! Would highly recommend this business!

Issue with the delivery

My issue is with the delivery so I cannot comment on the product. My order has still not been received, three weeks after order. It has been attempted to be delivered by Royal Mail, however they picked that the product needs to be signed for and tried to deliver on two days I was not at home. Royal Mail ignored my request for leaving in a safe place. I don’t have this issue with other companies or delivery providers, please review your website order options so people who work full time can pick a suitable delivery

Hi Ross,

We’re very sorry to hear your order experience has been frustrating.

Because we sell alcohol, deliveries must be sent using an age-verified service that requires a signature on delivery. We use Royal Mail Tracked services as they generally provide the most reliable tracking and delivery experience for the vast majority of our customers.

We completely understand the difficulty when delivery attempts happen during working hours, and we appreciate your feedback regarding safe place requests and delivery options. While delivery handling is managed by Royal Mail once dispatched, we do take comments like this seriously and will review whether we can make the delivery requirements clearer during checkout.

If you still need help receiving your parcel, please contact us directly and we’ll do our best to assist.

Kind regards,
Tom

The Best Rum…

I have drank a lot of different types of rum in my life. I spent 10 months in Belize whilst serving in the military and l had a lot of the local rums whist on tour, but The Rum Company have exceeded my expectations. I would like to say that you have given me the best rum l have ever tasted throughout my lifelong rum tasting experience. Thankyou 🍹
