I accidentally placed an order, realized my mistake 2 hours later and contacted wsjwine.com via their chat bubble.
They said they would try to cancel it but but the order has already gone to the warehouse and probably it couldn't be stopped. But if it was stopped I'd be charged a $28 restocking fee.
Just plain stupid. Of course no phone number available to speak with a human. WSJWINE.COM from now on.

Great company, great wine!
August 1, 2022

Wine Insiders guarantees you'll never drink a bottle of wine you don't like. They follow through. They send you offers which you are NEVER obligated to order. You can select a great deal on a bundle of wines that they curate or wait for a sale that allows you to make your own selections at a reduced price. The ONE time I selected something that I did not like, I contacted them about it, and they immediately credited my account. Great company. Great wine.

What a joke! Prices are not back to the way they were. They would be average 50% off original so called your high price set at $29.99. Now you are lucky to find a price that's 20% off your high original price. You may get some new suckers to pay these ridiculous prices on wine no other retail carries but old customers like me know your scam. Large corporations only exist for their CEO and stock holders.

We want to assure you that we are constantly evaluating our pricing structure to ensure fairness and transparency for all our customers. We appreciate your candid observations and understand your concerns about the perceived decrease in discount percentages.

Have been a customer of Wine Insiders for the last six (6) years and do not buy wine from any other place now. The website is easy to navigate, read about the different wines and take advantage of their sales that can truly be exceptional. Ordering is easy, I am on the East coast and my box arrives within 48-72 hours. Never received a broken bottle and had any problems.

I was very pleased with my order from Wine Insiders. I found the ordering process simple, the selection very good, and the shipping process was great. I love the careful packing of the wines in recyclable cardboard. The wine selections were broad, domestic and international. I tried a few new types that I probably would not have considered. Happy with my purchase. (Although I wasn't able to be home to sign for the box, I was able to redirect the shipment to a local FedEx store. Very convenient!)

Orders never received!
December 16, 2023

I have been a customer of wine insiders for many years and have never had a problem. Recently I placed an order and was never notified that delivery was attempted (which I think it never was). Long story short I never received it. Called wine insiders and they put the order through again….a week later same thing, order never received! This happened AGAIN with the third try. There is a problem between Wine insiders and Fed Ex. I am done. Customer service was not very helpful.,

Nice suprise
August 1, 2022

I was looking to purchase some wine for an upcoming wine and cheese affair that I was hosting. I was very pleased to fine the wonderful selection of wines that were offered. I was also surprised at the discount I received also free shipping. Thank you Louis and everything I ordered came as the company stated.

Extremely satisfied!
November 7, 2020

I have been buying since, at least, 2017 and never had a bottle that I didn't enjoy! Ordering is easy - although you have to be quick sometimes with some of the promotional offers. Prices seem fair, especially compared to my local sources. Shipping is free on six bottles or more which is a very attractive proposition. Delivery has become more efficient over the years to the point where an order is delivered at times within three days. Great to MD's Eastern Shore. The net result of all this is that I buy much more wine than once planned!

Awesome Wine with Great Prices
January 12, 2021

I have been a loyal customer for a few years and will remain so. Easy to order, great promotions, delivery prompt and well-packaged, lovely variety and fine wines. Huge perk is free shipping if ordering 6+ bottles.

Faulty advertising and no customer service
January 5, 2021

Placed two orders for a half case of wine priced at $21 a piece. Checked my tracking the next day to make sure I was home to accept delivery and both orders were cancelled (with no other notification). I called customer service to see why and was told that their was a pricing mistake on their website and they would not honor it. My two options given to me were 1. Pay full price for the sets or 2. Cancel the orders and receive a refund in 3-5 business days. Zero accountability for faulty advertising or an effort to at least make it partially correct.

Attached is their attempt at rectifying their false pricing. Basically, more money for them and not close to making anything right.

Attached is what they sent me once my review went live here, a $25 certificate for a combined $56 pricing error. Not remotely equivalent.

Good wines, low price
February 22, 2021

I purchased the introductory six bottles (reds and whites). Given the low price coupled with the disappointment of receiving mediocre wines from a few wine clubs that I subscribe to, I didn't expect much insofar as taste and quality. I was pleasantly surprised with the bottles that I've tried so far and will definitely be ordering in the future. It is worth noting that this is not a wine club. There is no obligation to buy after your first purchase, which is a plus for me as I'm on the eve of breaking up with yet another wine club. And did I mention fast free shipping and coupons off of future orders? Yes, please!

Always skeptical the first time buying something sight unseen. These Folks deliver. The wine selection is HUGE. Pick a country and they most likely have some wine from there. And not just any wine, we have ordered about 5 times - meaning around 70 bottles - and have had maybe a couple that we were not fond of. Great Product, great service, great prices. What more could you ask for!.

Try it, you will not be disappointed

Quality
January 24, 2021

We have been a member of one of their clubs for several years and have rarely been disappointed. Their wines are always decent and sometimes spectacular but equally important, their pricing and shipping costs (if any) are always very fair. I still purchase wine at our stores locally in order to support the community businesses (especially during the pandemic) but candidly, the prices and always better through Wine Insiders. Finally, the also had frequent specials that make it hard to pass up.

WI's customer service was awesome. I'm not someone to call a company and complain (not do I frequently write reviews) but I was aggravated when twice in a row my wine orders included expired coupons for my next order. I called customer service (Al) who provided me with an extension on my promo code and escalated the issue to ensure the warehouse was aware of their error and to correct the issue going forward. At one point, my cell phone cut out and me and Al were disconnected. Incredibly, he called me back in order to continue our call. When does THIS ever happen?! (Never). Oh yeah, the wine is fabulous, the prices are good and delivery is super fast.

Wine Insiders gave us a wonderful beginning to their offerings. We were enticed by a Groupon discount and easily purchased 15 bottles of random, but fine quality international wines. I am not put off with the fact that some wines may not be "international" as the selection is random and the US does produce some fine wines. Delivery was our only downside as the estimated date was changed twice, but it is understandable in these (pandemic) times. Even with the changes, we received our shipment within five days. The selection has proven to be very enjoyable to date and we will definitely be a repeat customer. We easily recommend Wine Insiders to others!
