Is wine.com out of business?
September 15, 2020

I ordered a bottle of champagne as a gift. They charged my credit card and have not delivered wine. They do not answer calls and I am #153 on chat!

Horrible. Has Imploded.
September 14, 2020

We had 2 successful orders with them but now in Sept they have imploded. What they call "system enhancements" is a 100% bungled and botched order entry system rollout. They cannot process anything and falsely claimed our order would arrive 3 days after order. Now 7 days later it still has not shipped and their customer service is horrible. Avoid them. Terible.

Scam Wine
September 13, 2020

Bought one bottle of wine. It was never delivered. Wine.com bombarded me with email after email. Harassment! I found the bottle I ordered at my local Hy Vee for $7.00 less than Wine.com and I actually got it.

Out of stock
September 12, 2020

Been using them for years. However, lately when I go to reorder any wine, they are always "unavailable ". Very disappointed on a company that used to be so reliable

Don't rely on them for shipping, buy somewhere else!
September 12, 2020

Don't rely on them for shipping. If you're buying a gift for someone, go someplace else. They promised to ship and deliver on a particular day and it's five days later. Shipping from New York to Pennsylvania should not take 5 days, especially when they told me it would be there the next day. Unexcusable. I'll go someplace else myself to buy wines in the future.

DISAPPOINTING...
September 11, 2020

Ordered a case of wine to be delivered on 9/7/2020. Checked on my status and it has not shipped yet. Chatted and they said they would report it to someone or I could call customer service. I called customer service 10 times and got this: "there is no customer service available right now". No communication from them after leaving 12 chat messages & emails. ZERO CUSTOMER SERVICE & NO DELIVERY!

Joke
September 11, 2020

They claim that they are upgrading their website for over a week and a half now nothing happens. You spent multiple hours online with customer service once they charge your card more than one time. No results and then their chat representative after you wait for 56 people in a Q for 45 minutes decides to in their chat. Do not bother ordering from this company because you will not get your order! You will however get a bunch of excuses on how system upgrades are causing all of these issues. Maybe they should test your system upgrade before you try to change your system.

Don't trust this company
August 23, 2020

Don't trust this business. I will never order from them again. They placed two authorization holds on my account for a single order and claimed that the funds were released - they were not. Customer service was not only slow but completely unempathetic, uncaring, and unhelpful. I will never shop from them again and I caution you as well. Shop at your own risk. I don't trust this company. They also lied to me about receiving a survey at the end of our interaction.

Wine Shipment Delay
August 2, 2020

So I'm a huge Mary J Blige fan and was excited about pre-ordering one of her wines as an August bday gift to myself. I placed the order on 7/17/20 and checked the status on 8/1/20 to find it was on hold because of weather.(I totally understand NC is hot, but if I'm paying almost $40 for the wine you'd think they could find a way to safely ship the item.) I am extremely disappointed with the customer service and how the lack of it affects Mary J Blige, she needs to find a better vendor to help with the sale of her product. I guess I'll have to wait until it reaches NC, but until then I would not recommend anyone in the South purchase any wine from wine.com, if you do you could be waiting for months to get your items. YOU'VE BEEN WARN, BUYER BE WARE!

Horrible
July 22, 2020

WALK AWAY NOW. Silly me, I thought when a their ONLY product was WINE they would have a shipping method... I don't know... safe for wine? Or at least explain your shipping options to you before you purchase. Not the case. What happens is you purchase, then they tell you they can't ship wine using their normal methods until the temperature is below 85 degrees. So if you are delivering to FL or anywhere similar, you are looking at a 3-4 month wait. HERE'S THE WORST PART: after learning this I said just cancel my order, I'll do direct delivery from a local shop (this was for a gift). THREE customer service reps told me "No problem! You'll see the refund shortly" and then left the chat and/or phone call, and did nothing! Not only did I not get the cancellation confirmation, I kept getting shipping updates. It's as if they are actually trained to tell you "no problem" and then walk away without even trying to do anything. I've experienced bad customer service before, but this takes the cake.

They really surprised me
July 19, 2020

I almost didn't use this company because the ratings were so bad. I tried to order wine from another site, but they didn't have the wines I wanted so I came back to Wine.com.

I took a chance on these guys, and I'm so glad I did. I've placed 4 different orders so far, and all of them have been great. I did have some trouble initially with the discount codes, but I called customer service and they quickly took care of it.

I only drink organic wines, and honestly these are way better than the wines I get at my local store. I'm also loving the shipping program where you get unlimited shipping for 49.99 per year. I've saved $200 already with that option.

I really don't understand all the complaints, but I'm happy I gave them a chance.

Fraudulent Sales!
July 16, 2020

After legitimately purchasing 1 1/2 cases of wine, we continued to be sent subsequent cases to the tune of $4000 worth of charges to our credit card. Trying to get these cases returned and then getting credits to our cards took over a month of almost daily calls! Finally, with all of that resolved, today we just got an email that they attempted to send us more wine (THAT WE NEVER ORDERED!) but that it was undeliveralbe. Thank heavens! We now have to check our credit card statement daily, praying that no charges were made.

Blown delivery... again
July 7, 2020

Wine.com appears attractive for price points and listed availability... but I have a major cautionary note to add. Their handling of orders, once placed, is inconsistent and often slow and sloppy. Most recent case in point: two orders from me with the same promised delivery date. Both orders languished for days before being filled and shipped. Both missed their promised delivery date. Events in two states were negatively impacted. And (!) the wine suffers two additional days in hot trucks.

RIDICULOUS experience (Stay away buying from wine.com)
June 2, 2020

First and last time I will buy from you, rather a bitter experience to find out that you don't regular bottles but half bottles... I sent it as a gift and found out that what I sent as novelty was a very expensive half bottle. You should made real clear what as a customer I was buying... you guys offended me (even felt scam) by this trick. Who in the world delivers half bottles for such price? IT has been such RIDICULOUS experience buying from you!

Service is completely fraudulent
May 29, 2020

Don't trust them when they say that someone 21+ has to sign for the package. I placed two separate orders for two different people through this site. One was me, one was a friend. In both instances, the delivery driver dumped the package at the doorstep and forged the signature. Fortunately I happened to be home and have a ring alarm to alert me when mine was here. My friend, however, was out of town, and the package was on her step for days for anyone to take -- 21+ or otherwise. This is so illegal, I don't understand how this place is still in business.

I'm in Love with Wine.com!
May 17, 2020

I was skeptical of wine.com after seeing negative reviews but they have been my favorite thing about quarantine! I've made 4 large orders and even shipped a gift to a friend and it has always arrived within 72 hours. Selection and quality are awesome. I've never had a single problem and highly recommend this service to everyone when the topic of wine delivery comes up.

Classic bait and switch company
May 7, 2020

I ordered a premium bottle of whisky. They sent me the wrong bottle, then magically my bottle was out of stock. They have zero accountability and their customer service is beyond terrible. Took me 1 week of daily calls to find out they dont have the bottle I ordered. Dont ever use them, plenty of other sites that wont screw up your order.

Poor customer Service
March 27, 2020

Don't use this service, they give you a delivery date at the time of purchase and don't respect it. Reschedule, don't give you new date for delivery, and you wait wait wait for your wine. Now when it is time to charge your credit card it is same day! And don't try to contact their customer service... the answer: you will get an email when we ship your order... be patient!

Never again!
February 8, 2020

This company is horrible. I bought a bottle of wine from them three weeks before Valentine's to give to my husband on Valentine's day. They email me a few days before the occasion to tell me "Sorry but its sold out." How was I able to order it in the first place, receive a order confirmation & then a tracking # to only be told after all of that, that it was sold out! Ridiculous & very unprofessional.

Their customer service is should be no stars.
December 16, 2019

I would give them no stars. The 3 Supervisors I've asked to speak with I'm still waiting on a call back. They blamed everything for the delayed shipping except themselves. The wine was not even in the same State on the day that I chose on wine.com to deliver. Do yourself a favor and use another company. There are plenty to chose from. I will never order from them again.
