I've ordered before

I've ordered before, and it always goes smoothly. The order always arrives quickly. This time, something didn't go as planned. The package was briefly lost via DPD, but Bottle of Italy resolved the issue promptly. The order arrived a week later because of this. But it was resolved perfectly! Thank you very much. Sometimes things can go wrong, but that wasn't Bottle of Italy's fault, but the carrier's. I can imagine that things do go wrong sometimes, considering how many packages DPD ships daily.

Late delivery

The company delivered my order after 2 weeks after multiple follow ups with a patchy customer service. Find a place that delivers on time.

Hello Shiv,

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to read about your dissatisfaction and would like to clarify the situation.

You placed an order for one bottle of olive oil to be delivered to a pickup point on November 2nd, and the shipment was dispatched on November 3rd. According to DPD France tracking, the parcel arrived at the designated pickup point on November 6th, where it is still available for collection (as of November 12th).

Regarding customer service, we have exchanged 12 emails with you, with an average response time of under one hour. For this reason, we are genuinely surprised by your comment about customer service being absent, as we have continuously provided support and updates.

Unfortunately, Trustpilot does not allow us to attach screenshots in replies; otherwise, we would have gladly shared both the full email exchange and the official tracking details to offer complete transparency.

Should you need further assistance in retrieving the parcel or require any additional information, our team remains at your disposal.

Kind regards,
Bottle of Italy

Avoid Bottle of Italy at all costs – complete scam-like behavior

I placed an order five weeks ago and was patient at first when they said they were waiting for items from their supplier — fair enough. But then they sent me a tracking number that never moved for over two weeks, while ignoring every single email I sent.

When I finally asked to cancel the order and get a refund, they didn’t reply — instead they created a new order with the same products I’d already paid for, and started sending the same “waiting for supplier” emails all over again.

I’ve now had to initiate a chargeback through my bank because they’ve gone completely silent. I’ve sent 10+ emails and several Facebook messages without a single response.

This company is unserious, dishonest, and completely unresponsive. Save yourself the headache — order from a real business that actually delivers what you pay for. If I could give 0 stars I would.

Your original order unfortunately suffered damage during transit with DPD. We did our best to arrange a replacement shipment free of charge. We understand that even this second shipment presented issues, and, as agreed, we processed a refund to resolve the matter.

Our team has always aimed to provide assistance and communicate updates as clearly as possible. We regret that this did not meet your expectations and are reviewing our processes to ensure smoother handling of similar situations in the future.

We remain available to address any outstanding concerns and provide support if needed.

This was my first time using Bottle of…

This was my first time using Bottle of Italy and unfortunately it has not gone well. I ordered 6x bottles of Montepulciano on the 12th September and accepted the shipping cost of +£45 for sending goods to my UK home address.
We took delivery from UPS on Thursday 2nd October but we were only sent for 1x box with just two bottles of the wine ordered.
I emailed them the same day requesting support but have only received a holding email response stating someone would be in contract within 24-48 hours. I appreciate they are moving facilities as well but all the order/delivery paperwork lists 6x bottles in total so I cannot see how only 2x were packed and shipped.
Still no response from them to date so I may have to take this through Consumer Act 75 to get a resolution.

Dear Customer,

Thank you for your feedback. We are sincerely sorry for the inconvenience you experienced.

According to our system, our Customer Service Team responded promptly to your emails. The situation was caused by damage from the UPS courier, which affected your order. Only the bottles that remained intact were repackaged and shipped in a new box.

Our Customer Service Team also offered a voucher for the value of the 4 missing bottles so that you could place a new order, which you did, and we sincerely thank you for that.

We take every feedback seriously and continue to work on improving our processes to ensure a smoother experience for all our customers.

Kind regards,
The Bottle of Italy Team

Frustrating experience

After two weeks from the payment still no product arrived. I opened a ticket but remained unanswered. No phone number available to reach them. It is a very frustrating experience for the customers. EDIT: the product arrrived 1 month after the payment, will not buy again from them

Dear Customer,

We are sorry to hear about the frustration you experienced. The product you ordered was a made-to-order item, and delivery times from our suppliers can occasionally be longer than standard, as we need to wait for the items to arrive at our warehouse before shipping.

To apologize for the delay, we also included a complimentary gift as a gesture of goodwill.

We appreciate your feedback and will continue to work on improving communication and shipping times for all our customers.

Kind regards,
Bottle of Italy

excellent exchange to find solutions…

excellent exchange to find solutions when needed (some bottles came not ok due to the transportation, not their fault). Support extremely reactive to ensure the full order is reached and propose some reduction on top. Very pleasant, I'll reorder w/o doubt

No shipment took place/out of stock items

Really disappointing experience. No shipment took place. It turns out that one of the wines I ordered was not in stock but I was never notified. Several emails were exchanged to confirm the order and delivery date/destination but I was never notified of out of stock wine until 13 days after ordering (and 4 days after the agreed outside delivery date). Nothing was shipped even though a partial shipment could have been made timely.

No delivery and no customer service

Ordered 6 bottles of liquor at Bottle of Italy, worth over €190, on the 25th of July, to be shipped to the Netherlands. As of August 6th, DPD tracking stopped showing updates, only mentioning "your package could not be delivered". After several visits to the pick-up point, just to double check whether it had not been delivered there, I contacted Bottle of Italy.

What follows is a lengthy discussion where Bottle of Italy hides itself between BRT, the Italian counterpart of DPD, while the tracking link which they provided themselves clearly shows the package is lost. It's now a month later, and they still refuse to send a new shipment and/or to provide a refund. Instead, a form needs to be filled out, after which the customer is asked to wait another 15 days before a solution can be proposed. That's 1.5 month after the order date.

A classic example of an e-commerce merchant focused on policies and on avoiding liability, with no focus on customer service at all. Avoid Bottle of Italy if you expect any kind of service!

Dear Customer,

We understand your frustration and sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. Unfortunately, your order was marked as delivered at the pick-up point, which required us to submit a “not received” form and initiate the necessary investigation with DPD.

As soon as we received confirmation from DPD, we contacted you to arrange a new shipment free of charge, but we never received a response from you.

We always strive to provide prompt assistance and resolutions, and we regret that this situation could not be completed to your satisfaction.

Kind regards,
Bottle of Italy
