These guys are total rip off. These guys are total rip off.. They won’t deliver the package on promised date and totally spoiled my holiday plans. And when asked about returning the items they are charging more than the total order amount for the return. What a poor service!!

Wine Insiders Delivery Issues Wine Insiders has a nice selection of wines and some very nice wine special offerings. Their only shipping carrier option, however, is FedEx Home, a subsidiary of FedEx Ground, comprised of lazy independent contractors. I would not recommend this wine merchant if you reside in an apartment building (especially without any means to travel to a FedEx pickup location). Wine Insiders' Customer Service is not helpful in resolving shipment issues with the carrier, but they issue a prompt refund to the customer once an order is returned to their warehouse by FedEx.

CUSTOMER SERVICE CUSTOMER SERVICE, WHAT CUSTOMER SERVICE? THEY NEVER GET BACK TO YOU OR ANSWER EMAILS. THEY EMPTY MY CARTS. THE LAST 3 CARTS I MADE THEY EMPTIED SO I NEVER MADE ANOTHER ORDER AFTER ORDERING 5 TIMES. IT SEEMS WINE INSIDERS DOESN’T WANT MY BUSINESS. I HAVE TOLD THEM NUMBEROUS TIMES CHARGING A PROCESSING FEE IS NO FREE SHIPPING. GIVE ME 50% OFF WITH NO PROCESSING FEE, I'LL MAKE MY 6TH ORDER OTHERWISE WINE INSIDERS IS A SCAM AND I'LL BUY MY WINE ELSEWHERE.

Their customer service is HORRIBLE Their customer service is deteriorating. I have been trying to resolve a damaged, reshipped, and now returned order for 8 days. The latest is the address THEY provide on their website for a pick up location, no longer accepts wine. What?! They are full of excuses but no solutions. I demanded a supervisor to reroute my delivery to another drop off, and the idiot did the order again. This is the 3rd redo of the same order. But FedEX site shows it out for delivery. Baffled!

Definitely No Scam In My Book! In all of the years and numerous bottles of wine consumed, I have never had a bad experience with WI. There have been several times that I was either unhappy with a bottle or 2 and recently a shipment of 5; the wine was always replaced promptly, at no charge and to my satisfaction. I've been through the 'weeding out' process of trying various kinds/types of wines and have now settled on a few select favorites. This is not to say that I won't 'dip my toe' into the unknown pool again but I have every confidence about my future orders from WI. I do agree that FedEx is a far-from-perfect delivery service like they were once upon a time. Cheers!
