Laithwaites is a very good club

Laithwaites is a very good club! I developed a collection of 1,000 plus bottles in my cellar through another club. This before moving to the US. I then joined a US based club who were also very good. So I have had quite good experiences. That all said, if I were to do a flat out comparison, I’d give Laithwaites the 5 star gold medal once full consideration is given!

The wine did not arrive at the time indicated by the advance notice. This caused me a scheduling conflict, and the case delivery had to be stopped at the last minute. Since I travel frequently, and trips are planned months in advance, it is CRITICAL to me that when you say "two to three weeks" you stick to that timeframe. My case was scheduled for first delivery attempt Sept. 10-13, and that would be fine. However, when it had not even shipped by Sept. 14, I had to stop it. FedEx will only hold items for 5 days, so that is NOT the right answer when my trip is 7 - 14 days.

We sincerely apologize for the significant inconvenience and frustration our shipping delay caused with your wine delivery. We understand how crucial it is for us to adhere to the timeframes we provide, especially given your travel schedule and the advance planning involved. It is clear that failing to ship your order by the promised date created a major problem for you, leading to the cancellation of your delivery. We are truly sorry that the shipment had not even departed by September 14th when it was initially scheduled for delivery between September 10th and 13th. We recognize that FedEx's five-day hold limit is insufficient for longer trips, and we regret that this situation put you in such a difficult position. We are actively reviewing our shipping processes to prevent such discrepancies in the future and ensure our stated delivery windows are consistently met. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve our service for all our customers.

Quality of wine has been in a steady decline. When I tried to cancel, I was told I had to do so by phone. I cannot do so during work hours as I am a teacher. I established several times in writing that no one over 21 was home any longer who could receive the wine (my father used to receive it for us but he has since died) can receive the wine, and that the wine quality had gone down. I declined delivery twice and they charged me over $30 just for the shipping of the wine I said I did not want.

Fantastic company, unless you need customer service.

Laithwaites have wonderful and unusual (as in hard to find anywhere else) wine, that is very reasonably priced.

Regarding shipping: they are incredibly fast. If I order on Monday, I usually have the case by Wednesday, and their Unlimited Shipping, is great value for money.

I've bought from them for years, and everything about the company is fantastic, unless you have to contact customer service. And that is why I'm only giving 3 instead of 5 stars. Their customer service is TERRIBLE. I ordered two cases of the same wine but from different vintages, and I needed it to be exactly that because it was for identical twins who always say they are the same, but different.
I was sent two cases of the same vintage. I contacted customer service by email (multiple times over a 2 week period) and by phone. I received no response. NONE. Even if they'd said, "sorry, we're out of the earlier vintage, that's why we sent two of the same", I would have been satisfied. But to not answer....that is unforgivable.
