Perfect beer for Gluten intolerance!

I’m really happy with my purchase from BeerMerchants.com. The House Party Beer was excellent value for money, especially for the quality and quantity you get. It was also great to find a gluten-free option, as I have a gluten intolerance, so that made a big difference for me.

On top of that, the team are very helpful and friendly to work with, making the whole experience smooth from start to finish. Overall, I’d definitely buy from them again and would happily recommend them.

Excellent range of beers including unusual and rarely found breweries, offering something for all beer tastes. Quick and efficient delivery in safe sturdy packaging, which takes the uncertainty out of ordering bottled beers online and the breakage risk. Would recommend highly.

Not what it was - avoid for specialist beers

Have ordered many times over the years and always been happy. Recently ordered Sierra Nevada beers from USA as Beer Merchants now handle it. Very disappointed - these were specialist items (can conditioned not draught style) and different items were delivered to specified on the website (which was the entire purpose of me ordering them rather than getting the regular cans from Sainsburys!).

Very disappointing, and after a week still no response from Beer Merchants when I raised a compliant. Then another 4 days since I tried again - blanket silence.

If I could give them zero stars I would. Ordered this with next day delivery. 4 days later still hasn’t left their warehouse! I called them several times, either rang out or the man who answered made false promises. I explained this was a 70th birthday present and was assured it would be sent. My emails have been ignored. So I have paid the best part of 50 quid and for next day delivery to be lied to and have no present for my father in law. Currently not answering calls … I wonder why??
If this had been sent when it was meant to be it would have been here days before the bad weather. They have had so many opportunities to prevent this and they have chosen to do nothing. Now if / when it ever leaves there warehouse it will be stuck in a backlog of bad weather delays. So the parcel won’t just be a few days late but more like weeks. I would never buy from them again and would urge others not too.

Reply from Beer Merchants

We’re very sorry for the disappointment this caused, especially as the order was intended as a 70th birthday gift. We completely understand how frustrating and upsetting that situation would have been.

To clarify a few points, next day delivery was not purchased during the initial checkout. This was explained when you contacted us, along with the fact that our system does not allow us to add or upgrade delivery services once an order has been placed. However, all of our standard deliveries are sent on a 24-hour service, which is why we believed the order should still arrive in time.

The delay occurred because the courier, DPD, failed to collect the parcel for three consecutive days when they were scheduled to do so. This is not the level of service we expect from our courier. We chased DPD multiple times throughout this period and are continuing to deal with this matter with them separately. Unfortunately, once a parcel is booked and ready, we cannot force a courier collection.

Once it became clear the order would not arrive in time, we offered a refund on the delivery and then a full refund when it was confirmed the parcel would miss the occasion. This refund has since been processed. We always aim to be fair and transparent when issues arise, even when delays are outside of our control.

delivery time was atrocious

delivery time was atrocious. I paid extra for next day delivery and it arrived 4 days later. even accounting for the advertised xmas delay which said orders would be dispatched 27-29th, that doesn't explain why my expensive 'next day' delivery didn't come until 31st.

However packing was fantastic and it all arrived intact, order was correct

All in 1 box

Not the quickest delivery, but very well protected packaging. I ordered two Christmas packs to give as gifts, but they both came in a single box. I asked why, got a short reply saying it says that in the terms and conditions. Who reads those? Be warned. If you plan to gift stuff, one item per order!
