Ordered on a Saturday and had my delivery first thing Tuesday morning. Swift delivery and they carry a great selection, especially beers you only usually see in mainland Europe. Very pleased!

Delivery charges are criminal

So having tried a lovely Vocation Stick Toffee Pudding stout at the weekend, I decided to go online shopping for more. Found it at Beer Ritz for a very reasonable (compared to competitors) £4.10 a tin.

Added 6 to basket, spotted a couple of other Vocation stouts that looked good, added to basket also, went to check out, entered my Northern Ireland postcode..... £28.51 delivery????????

Seriously?

I mean I know sometimes couriers can charge more for NI delivery but many don't - and Royal Mail doesn't either.

This is an absolute rip-off.

Hi Brian, sorry about your experience (and apologies for not responding sooner). We use a courier that offers a fragile, next-day delivery service, and this is what they charge for that service to Northern Ireland.

Beer RItz is okay. Delivery from APC i not

The issue was less with Beer Ritz and more to do with their delivery partner APC. They only delivered half the order meaning I had to take an extra day off work to wait for the rest of it. When someone is charding you £10.99 for delivery, you are expecting it to work. The other beer suppliers I used charge less for delivery and it worked without fail.

Thanks for the feedback, and we're sorry that you feel this warranted such a poor rating. The second box was delivered the following day. Apologies for the inconvenience caused. The majority of our positive reviews suggest that the couriers do a good job.

Cannot fault the company

Cannot fault the company. Glass in beer presentation set broken, rang the company, new glass dispatched that day and arrived following day.

Thank you for your kind review Kevin. We really try our hardest to provide a positive customer experience, and all of the staff here try to go above and beyond dealing with every order. Once again, we're sorry your glass was broken in transit in the first instance, but pleased this is now sorted :)

Great selection, quick delivery

This was my first time using Beer Ritz. There is a great selection of beers and the delivery was fast and accurate. They even popped in a little bonus beer. Thank you!

Shame about DHL

One bottle broken in transit and I’ve been told I’ll get refund. They chased up DHL when delivery was late and kept me updated so fair play for that… beer was class we loved it and will order more provided we get promised refund 👍

Hi there, once again apologies for the breakage in transit - the refund for your bottle and a portion of the delivery charge was made last week, it will be back in your account shortly. Hope to hear from you again soon!
