The website said delivery would be 3 to 5 working days. It took nearly 3 weeks to deliver my bottle of wine. It was the right bottle of wine when it did arrive though. There was no communication to... See more

Located this firm whilst searching for Eldorado tonic wine. I was able to order and pay online and they sent the bottle down from Scotland intact via Yodel within a few days. A good service

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Although there was a short delay in getting my wine, the seller explained they were waiting for the delivery, and that I would have it by Friday (yesterday) latest. True to their word I did. Brilliant... See more

I really liked the range and variety of products

I really liked the range and variety of products on offer, and also how easy it was to navigate the website.
However, I understood that delivery in Edinburgh would be the same day, but it took 6 days and it wasn't complete. The last bits arrived 4 days later. Good thing I was not in a rush.

not able to deliver

Ordered on the 5th May. Wrote to them on 14th asking when my order would be delivered, they cancelled my order and money refunded because they couldn't find a transport company cheap enough to deliver.

Waste of time ordering if they don't have transport costs covered in their pricing.

excellent customer experience!

I was looking for a hard to find vintage wine, and experiencing the wrong vintage being sent from a different supplier, I had to be certain I would receive the correct bottle! which this business supplied, my queries were answered with a very fast response, customer service was top notch, delivery was reasonably priced compared to other retailers and fast! The quality of the wine was perfect, matched with a great price! I would highly recommend for a smooth, easy, wine shopping experience. I will definitely be returning .. one happy customer from the excellent customer service provided
Thank you 😊

Christmas sherry debacle

Shockingly bad service.
Ordered 2 bottles of sherry online on the Saturday (ie effectively Monday) for "next day delivery", so due Tuesday.
Finally got a delivery on the following Friday, 11 days later, after an email and 5 phone calls. Most of the calls ending with "I'll speak to the manager and call you back" followed by no such call.
When delivered on the Friday they brought the wrong type. Promised to redeliver correctly by 11am Saturday. Of course, no delivery by early afternoon, so yet another phone call. Finally arrived that evening.
I ordered from Goldenacre Wines as it sounded like a specialist wine merchant. In reality, whilst I am not exactly sure what the set up is, it appears to be part of a Costcutter. They are either woefully incompetent or have taken on far more than they can deal with.
Trying to find one positive - very nice friendly delivery guys.

I placed an order at the end of…

I placed an order at the end of November. Like plenty of other people have commented I did an age verification and then communication ended. No emails to say it was being processed and sent. No emails in reply to mine chasing up what has happened. Really frustrating.
