Placed an order, heard nothing since

Placed an order, took my money got confirmation on wedsite with order number, but no email confirmation with further information or details on order like estimated delivery time etc and no reply to my enquiries regarding the whereabouts of my order that I have paid for. Not happy, and I will be taking this further if I do not get an acknowledgement soon.

Dear Mrs Reynolds,

Please have a look at your emails. We have already answered you twice and informed you about your order.

Indeed, you have ordered a product that was indicated to be available in 1-2 weeks on our website and on the order confirmation, which probably arrived in your spam folder (maybe also our emails to you).

This is because you first have to order the product. Then we need between 1-2 weeks to find and supply this product and after this time, we will be able to dispatch the parcel to your delivery address.

This information is still to be consulted on our website at the moment.

We stay available for more assistance and wish you a nice day.

Kind regards,
Urban Drinks

Not received my item

I've ordered a rare bourbon from the company over 10 days ago. I've been trying to contact them over the last few days because I've received no information about my order.

UPDATE:
The team got back to me almost immediately, I was assured that my delivery would arrive before Christmas and the member of staff that dealt with my issue was polite, understanding and incredibly helpful. I'm looking forward to when the item arrived!

Hello,

We unfortunately did not receive any email from you until today.

But we will contact you immediately concerning your order.

The product was indeed coming from the USA and was indicated to be available in 5 to 7 working days on your website.

Kind regards,
Urban Drinks

Ordered 3 bottles and received 1 in quick time and great condition. Good start.
No word on where the other 2 bottles were so I emailed and received a quick response saying they were coming from their German hub and would be on the way that day.
A week later after not receiving I messaged again and was told the customs clearance hadn’t been approved and they would resend the paperwork and they’d be despatched either that day or the day after.
A week later still nothing. I asked for a refund for the 2 bottles I hadn’t received and was given a refund but it was £33 short.
I argued and provided the original sales invoice with the prices I had paid and eventually received my other missing cash.
Awful experience. Wouldn’t recommend.
As somebody else has noted it’s a German company you deal with but as I used a website ending in co.uk I presumed it was a company here in the U.K. poor show all round. Avoid.

Hello,

We are very sorry for the bad experience you had to go through.

The full amount for the bottles has been refunded via PayPal yesterday as we can see. The papers arrived yesterday evening and we would have been able to dispatch your order in time for Christmas. But as you said, it was already a week late.

We are very sorry for this logisitcal inconvenience and stay available at any time for more assistance.

Kind regards,

Highly Recommend

I highly recommend shopping with Urban Drinks UK, who sourced a bottle of vodka unavailable in the UK from Berlin, it arrived in perfect condition, pleasant delivery driver. I appreciate the whole shopping experience provided by this company, especially after a dreadful experience with another online company based in Spain.

The bottle was part full

Although urban drinks knew about in-transit issues with Cosa Nostra Scotch Whisky, leaking out of the bottle, I was content with a full refund, including postage, once the bottle was returned. The customer service team responded swiftly & satisfactory & with this, I will use their services again. My rating is low because of the product, not the customer service team.

Hello,

Thank you for your message. We are very sorry to hear about your experience.

We are sorry, that we could only answer you this morning, as our support does not work during the weekend.

On the pictures you have send us, we can see that the bottle is fully sealed and could not have been contaminated in any ways.

A return label has already been created for you and send. As soon as we have receive the parcel at our UK hub, we will be able to proceed with a full refund for your order.

Best regards,

Brilliant service and the product was perfect. I had a couple of issues with delivery but contacted the company and got a response almost instantly and they rectified the matter perfectly. I'd 100% recommended them and will be using them for my presents in the future.
