Pretty much a con
Pretty much a con - you pay a large fee for express delivery because you need a gift delivered on time and they scam you by sending with a cheap and slow method so they can pocket your cash.

Hello,
We are very sorry to hear about this. We do always ship every order to the UK with the Express-Delivery method from FedEx and can prove this without problem as we do not have any other shipping possibility at the moment for your country.
But please note, that we do ship all the orders from Berlin to the UK. This is why, we indicate that the delivery takes up to 4 to 5 working days on our website: https://www.urban-drinks.co.uk/shipping.html
If your order took over 5 working days to arrive at destination, please contact our customer support service at: support@urban.drinks.co.uk
We would be more than happy to refund your shipping costs in this case, as compensation for the delay.
As no infomations about your order has been left on this comment, we could not find it or even the tracking in our system unfortunately.
Kind regards,
Urban Drinks

Shipping from Germany my item took 8 days to arrive. I was informed the item would arrive on the 18th and didn't arrive until the 20th. Three days of waiting due to Fedex delay. Too late for the birthday!

Good day,
We are very sorry to hear about this delay!
As mentionned in your comment, the delay was apparently due to the transporter. Possibly, they have had a few difficulties at customs.
In this case, do not hesitate to contact us so that we try to arrange this matter or speed up the process on our end. Even if we do not have the parcel in our ends, we would give our best to solve any inconvenience for you as briefly as possible!
Kind regards,
Urban Drinks
Delayed, expensive and unapologetic
Purchased a bottle on the 5th June for a father's day gift. The only shipping option being in the realms of 25% of the bottles price but Thinking that would be an express/few day eta. NOPE! Confirmation emails says Thursday 13th. Doesn't arrive. Contacted on the 14th to ask where it is to a late response of "delivery agent is backed up" etc excuse. So finally Monday 17th (4 days out of delivery expected), it turns up. Did I mention the real kick in the teeth is that IF I'd used a more renowned company, the bottle would have not only been 25% cheaper BUT dispatched and arrived within guaranteed 3 working days. But Urban Drinks don't really want to know about any of this information.

Good day,
We are very sorry about the delay.
Indeed, FedEx do have problems (at customs) and are clearing this problem since 2 or 3 week actually. But unfortunately for us, a few orders have been delayed lately. We can solve the problem but it took a few days as in your case.
We do indicated that we ship our products from the EU and that normally it takes up to 4 or 5 working days, which is to 99% the case. 9,90 GBP is the best price we can offer for a shipping from Germany to the UK.
We are very sorry for the inconvenience and can proceed with the refund of your shipping costs.
Kind regards,
Urban Drinks
Reliable company
I've used this company on several previous occasions and found them very reliable. The shipment was a couple of days later than promised on this occasion, but I was able to track the package and it turned up within the promised timeslot on the rearranged day. I will continue to use them.

The length of time it took to deliver the purchase and an email from FedEx that they were going to deliver that day when in fact the goods had not cleared customs. Otherwise product was as expected and well priced.

Hello,
We are very sorry about the bad experience due to the transporter's delay.
Indeed, they had a few problems with customs until last week. Apparently, everything is now going smoothly with the transport again.
Sorry again for this inconvenience ! We took care of it via E-Mail with you and have speed up the process as far as we could.
Kind regards,
Urban Drinks

I had no idea the items would be shipped from Germany as sounded like a UK company.
One week on and the items are still in Germany (according to the tracking) so will now arrive late for the birthday gift…

Good day,
First of all, we are very sorry for the delay which has been caused by our transporter.
We do not make a secret of our location, as we indicate on our website that we have an online shop in many countries and that the delivery takes up to 4-5 working days. We do indeed ship all our product only from one warehouse in Berlin at the moment. Our UK office make it available for us to ship order to the UK without any additionnal costs for our customers.
We are already in contact with you via email and hope to be able to make it up to you considering the transporter's mistake.
Kind regards,
Urban Drinks
Have gone out of their way to resolve my issue

Good day,
Yesterday was unfortunately a national holiday in the EU, this is why we could not answer until this morning.
But you have received an answer and we have arranged the shipment to arrive in time with even an express delivery option at our costs.
Your order shall arrive in time and we have answered as quickly as we could. Sorry for the inconvenience!
Kind regards,
Urban Drinks
Poor service
Placed order on 30/04/2024 as the UK website showed it was available. It was only delivered on the 13/05/2024 having contacted Customer Service to first be told it would take 4-5 working days to be processed and delivered, then to be told that it was being held by customs due to couriers not having the correct documents is a very bad sign ! This is not the first order to the United Kingdom that has been delayed. If you have a company registered in the UK i expect you to have stock in the UK.

Good day,
Please note that we are obliged to have a subsidiary in Great Britain to be able to export our products there. it is only an office, were we can proceed with customs clearance and it helps us to export so many products to your country even after the Brexit.
We don't hide the fact that the goods come from Germany, and we even indicate all the different shipping options on our website as the shipping time from about 4 to 5 working days.
We're really sorry that the parcel arrived late, but unfortunately it can sometimes happen that customs checks more thoroughly and delays the parcel. We do our best to avoid this problem and fortunately have very few complaints.
Kind regards,
Urban Drinks
Easy fast reliable service.

Extremely disappointing.
Extremely disappointing.
Taken two weeks to tell me they couldn't ship the item and that I'll have to wait a few days before they can try again.
Fair prices and a good selection of stock.
But if you can't get the items delivered then there is no point in ordering.

Good day,
This is quite surpising for us, as we do have all the products we are selling and kind find supply for the products within a week except for US product, which is mentionned on our website.
Please let us know your order number. We would be more than happy to check this problem out for you.
We may have eventually experienced a problem with customs, but this can also be solved within 1 or 2 days normally.
Kind regards,

Good day,
Unfortunately, you seem to have tried to call us without leaving a messages on our answering machine.
We have received your email and also answered this morning as quickly as possible.
Unfortunately, we can see that customs did not send us the right documents or their approval for this shipment.
We have asked the responsible team to contact customs again and we should receive the documents within a days.
Normally, your order will be shipped today or tomorrow the latest.
Kind regards,
