CaskCartel I would give zero stars if I could.

I placed on order for a very expensive bottle of bourbon on November 26, 2023. Today is December 9th and it still hasn’t shipped even though it is in-stock. I need this no later than December 15th but it’s doubtful I will receive this in-time to give as a gift the only day I’ll be with the recipient. When I inquired, Customer Service sent me a copy of their return policy stating they have 30 days to fulfill an order before I’m eligible for a refund. What if that’s not my policy as the customer? My policy is all -in-stock items are to ship the first business day after the order is received. Clearly Cask Cartel doesn’t care about customer satisfaction or repeat business. I wish I saw all of these negative reviews before I made a purchase from them and I’m happy to add to them.

Recommendation: Don’t buy from Cask Cartel

CaskCartel Disappointing Experience with Cask Cartel: Delayed Shipping and Poor Communication

I recently made a purchase from Cask Cartel on 1/6/22, but unfortunately, my order had not arrived by 1/18/22. I decided to reach out to their customer service team to inquire about the status of my order. After waiting for a day, I finally received a response informing me that a "UPS shipping label had been created". However, I was disappointed to find out that my order was still in limbo by 1/25/22, with the shipping label being the only thing that had been created.

Feeling frustrated, I decided to contact customer service once again to get an update on my order. This time, I was told that my order would be shipped within 1 to 2 days. However, I was also sent the fine print on their shipping policy, which stated that they could deliver an order within 30 days of purchase and still be in good standing. As of today, 1/29/22, my order has still not been shipped, despite being prioritized on two separate occasions.

I am hoping that I will receive my order by 2/6/22, which would be within the 30-day window. If not, I will be requesting a refund. At this point, I cannot recommend this company due to the lack of communication and delay in shipping.

CaskCartel Warning: Avoid Cask Cartel - Deceptive Business Practices and Refusal to Accept Returns

So, I was browsing the internet for some good whiskey and stumbled upon Cask Cartel. I saw a picture of Glenlivet 18 and read the description of the product. The older version label with and description of 43 ABV were both shown. I thought to myself, "This is it! This is what I've been looking for!" So, I placed an order for it.

After placing the order, I followed up with an email stating that I DO NOT WANT the 40 ABV product. I wanted the 43 ABV version. Customer Service responded, acknowledged that I ordered the 43 ABV version and proceeded to place the order. I was so excited to receive my order.

However, after weeks of delays, what I got was exactly what I said I did not want, the 40 ABV version. I was so disappointed. I immediately contacted them and they are refusing to accept a return. I couldn't believe it! I have disputed the charge with my bank. I am writing letters to BBB and to the State Attorney General for fraudulent business practices.

I would advise anyone to AVOID THIS COMPANY! They are not reputable and will deceive, lie and then refuse a refund for an item that was not ordered. It's just not right. I hope that my experience will help others to avoid the same mistake that I made.

CaskCartel Disappointing Experience with CaskCartel: Frustrating Shipping and Refund Policies

I gotta say, I had a pretty rough experience with CaskCartel. I made the mistake of placing a big order with them about 10 days before Christmas, thinking it would be no problem since they said my order would ship in 3-5 days. I even bought the extra protection, just to be safe.

But Christmas came and went, and I still hadn't received my order. When I reached out to their customer support, they told me to just relax and chill. Okay, sure, but then New Year's came and went, and I still didn't have my order. That's when I decided to ask for a refund.

But guess what? They told me I had to wait 30 days before I could get a refund. What kind of policy is that? I was so frustrated and disappointed. I just wanted my money back.

Finally, 19 days after my last order, I got an email from them saying that their distributor didn't receive their stock in time. They gave me three options: buy from somewhere else for $45 more, keep waiting for my order to eventually show up, or get some store credit.

Honestly, none of those options sounded good to me. I was so fed up with this whole situation. I even included screenshots of my email exchange with them in my review, just to show how frustrating it was.

Overall, I wouldn't recommend CaskCartel. Their shipping and refund policies are just too frustrating to deal with. Save yourself the headache and buy from somewhere else.

CaskCartel Disappointing Experience with Cask Cartel: Delayed Shipping and Lack of Transparency

I gotta say, I was pretty disappointed with my experience with Cask Cartel. I ordered an advent calendar from them in November, thinking it would be the perfect gift for my friend who loves trying new drinks. But when the item didn't seem to be moving along in the shipping process, I reached out to them to see what was up. Turns out, they were actually getting the item from some other vendor overseas, and it was totally out of their control when it would arrive.

Now, I don't know about you, but when I order something online, I expect it to arrive in a reasonable amount of time. And if there's going to be a delay, I want to know about it upfront. But Cask Cartel didn't say anything about this when I placed my order - they just happily took my money and left me hanging. To me, that's just not right. It feels like they were trying to pull a fast one on me, you know?

And to make matters worse, it's not even clear to me that Cask Cartel actually sells anything themselves. It seems like they might just be acting as a middleman or something, which is fine I guess, but they should still take responsibility for the orders they accept. I mean, if they're going to take my money, they should be able to deliver the goods.

All in all, I'm pretty disappointed with my experience with Cask Cartel. I don't think I'll be ordering anything from them again. It's just not worth the hassle.

CaskCartel Stay Away from Cask Cartel: Fraudulent Company with Terrible Customer Service

This company is not good. They are a fraud and their customer service is probably the worst you can find. The staff or the owner was so rude over the phone that it would make you think they don't care about clients and only care to sell at double and triple the price that other sites sell for. If you're paying such a high price for the same bottle, at least you should get good customer service. But hell, this caskcartel.com stands true to their name. They talk to you as if they're the cartel and you're the peasant that owes them. Stay away from this company and shop from any other site. I'd put a website here of a great place, but it would be seen as if I am advertising them. But search on Google and they come up. You can compare the prices with cartel.com and start thinking to yourself what's the deal here. I'm glad I did not order more items from them as the customer service they have is more like trying to shut you up and they're doing whatever they want. Save the headache and shop somewhere else.

CaskCartel Cask Cartel Review: Worth the Wait and Cost for Hard-to-Find Spirits

I gotta say, I was a bit worried after reading some of the negative reviews about Cask Cartel, but my experience turned out just fine. Now, let me tell you, if you're looking for a quick booze fix, you might wanna hit up your local liquor store or use Instacart. But if you're after something a bit more special, like I was, then Cask Cartel might just be the ticket.

See, I ordered four bottles of Slingsby Gin, which is pretty hard to come by in the good ol' US of A. I'd had it before on a trip to Harrogate, and I wanted to have it on hand for my mum's visit. She's a proper British lady, and she loves her G&Ts, so I knew she'd appreciate it.

Now, I'll admit, it did take about 3.5 weeks for my order to arrive. And it wasn't exactly cheap. But I got something that I couldn't find anywhere else, and that's worth something to me.

I did read some of the bad reviews before I placed my order, so I was a bit nervous. But when I contacted customer service, they were really nice and helpful. They gave me all the info they could, and they were polite about it too.

So, all in all, I'd recommend Cask Cartel if you're after something that's hard to find. Just be prepared to wait a bit and pay a bit more. But hey, if you really want it, it's worth it.

CaskCartel Cask Cartel Review: Mixed Customer Experiences and Potential Scams

Cask Cartel (caskcartel.com) is a website that has been receiving mixed reviews from customers. While some customers have had a good experience with the website, others have had a terrible experience. The website has been accused of actively refuting bad reviews on some websites such as jabber, while BBB and TrustPilot have hundreds of complaints.

One of the biggest issues with Cask Cartel is that they are a re-ship operation. This means that they find your product afterwards and drop ship it to you, pocketing the difference. This often results in customers paying a horrible price for what they could have gotten elsewhere. Additionally, Cask Cartel often cannot find the product and will never ship it. They will tell you that it has shipped, but cannot provide any tracking numbers.

Another issue with Cask Cartel is that they will tell you there is a 35% restocking fee for something they have not even shipped. This is a numbers game for them, as many customers give up and think it is their fault when they ordered a bottle thinking it was a case. However, it is not the customer's fault when the website scams them.

If you do decide to order from Cask Cartel, it is important to remember rule #1: immediately lodge a complaint with your credit card company. Cask Cartel may say they are sorry and even offer a gift card as compensation, but it is important to refuse and tell them the credit card dispute stays. They may even call you, but it is important to stand your ground and you will get your money back.

Overall, Cask Cartel has received mixed reviews from customers. While some have had a good experience, others have had a terrible experience. It is important to be cautious when ordering from this website and to remember to immediately lodge a complaint with your credit card company if you have any issues.

CaskCartel Terrible Experience with Cask Cartel: Received Wrong Product and No Refund

don't use this company to order spirits! i didn't read the bad reviews before i ordered online. i got 2 bottles of Don Q Gran Anejo rum which come in square decanter bottles which are being phased out & rebranded to Don Q Gran Reserva in round bottles. i ordered the Gran Anejo bottles because they are becoming more limited and rare. but i got the Gran Reserva in round bottles instead.
i contacted customer service several times at Cask Cartel, and Michelle and Taylor told me it wasn't their problem and they wouldn't give me any credit or refund. (they did offer me $25 off on a future purchase. fat chance, i'll never use them again)!
my argument was that if i had been in a physical store i wouldn't have bought the Don Q Gran Reserva as that is not what i wanted.
i have bought thousands of dollars of rum & bourbon from other online retailers such as Blackwells, Caskers, Pikes and The Whiskey Exchange in England. anytime there was a question about my order, the company contacted me before my order shipped to ask me about it and if i wanted to proceed. that is good customer service!
so again in big CAPS: DO NOT ORDER ANYTHING FROM CASK CARTEL

CaskCartel Cask Cartel Review: Scammed Elderly Father, Wrong Product, Rude Customer Service, Threats & Unprofessionalism. Beware!

I recently had an experience with Cask Cartel and I must say, it was not a pleasant one. My elderly father was scammed by this company and I feel the need to share my story so that others don't fall victim to their deceitful practices.

Firstly, they sent us the wrong product. We ordered moonshine, but they sent us sipping cream instead. While they did state that product flavors may differ, we were not expecting a completely different product altogether. When we contacted them about the issue, they blamed it on the warehouse and made no offer to help resolve the situation. We even offered to send back the wrong product, but they refused to send us what we actually ordered.

To make matters worse, when we disputed the charges with our bank, they tried to put our small order in collections and sent us a very threatening email. Their legal team couldn't even write a grammatically correct email, which leads me to believe that they need one in the first place due to their unprofessionalism. It's clear that they do not care about their customers and their customer service is rude and unprofessional, even by email.

I did some research and found that we are not the only ones who have had a bad experience with Cask Cartel. There are multiple threads and reviews online of people saying how awful they are. In fact, there is a website with all 1-star reviews stating to never buy from this company.

I urge anyone who has had a similar experience to file complaints with the Better Business Bureau and leave a review on sitejabber for Cask Cartel. It's important to hold companies like this accountable for their actions and protect honest customers from falling victim to their deceitful practices.

CaskCartel Cask Cartel Review: A Solid Choice for Premium Spirits

I gotta say, after reading some of the reviews about Cask Cartel, I was a little hesitant to give them a try. But, being the adventurous type, I decided to take a chance and see what they were all about. And let me tell you, I was not disappointed!

Sure, some people might say that you can find the same stuff they offer on other sites for cheaper, but I didn't have any trouble finding what I was looking for at a fair price. And yeah, their cancellation and return policy might seem a little intense, but I figure they gotta protect themselves somehow, right?

One thing I will say is that it did take a little longer than I expected for my order to arrive. But, hey, good things come to those who wait, right? And when it did finally show up, everything was in perfect condition.

I did notice that some people were saying that Cask Cartel fakes their reviews to make themselves look better. I can't speak to that, but I will say that I'm happy with my purchase and would definitely consider using them again in the future.

Oh, and one more thing - make sure you read their policy on preorders and product packaging. It can be a little confusing, but it's important to know what you're getting into.

Overall, I'd say that Cask Cartel is a solid choice if you're looking for premium spirits. Just be patient, read the fine print, and you should be good to go!

CaskCartel Do not shop with CaskCartel!

Do not shop with CaskCartel! In my experience, they behave like liars and cheats. I ordered a product and paid for it. Less than one week later, I recieved email update that the product was not available from their normal retailer. They gave me three options: 1) Pay another $45 dollars to purchase the same product from another retailer. 2) Purchase a different product. 3) Keep waiting to see if they can find the original product. I had to call them to demand a fourth option: full refund. After doing so, I was put on hold and given the run around. This is a terrible business model based on the Bait-and-Switch. I'm still waiting to hear back about getting my refund.

I placed an order on December 13. My credit card was charged the next day. To date the order has never been delivered. I was provided lots of incorrect information and was not believed when I brought it to their attention. After weeks of ignoring me, their "customer service" decided the way to resolve their failure to provide my order was to change me $60.00 more. Cask Cartel's customer service consists of talking about customer service but not providing any customer service. They should be ashamed.

Today is January 17, 2022. On December 10, I placed two orders, both for the same item but to be delivered to two different places as Christmas gifts. I was told that the orders had been "been accepted by a local licensed authorized retailer partner for processing & fulfillment" on the date of order (12/10).

I contacted this company multiple times to determine when the items were expected to arrive to my friends. I was never provided with concrete information on the status of the order.

Re: ORDER ending in ; on 1/6/2022 I was told that the local retailer had "recently received shipment of the item and currently still working on getting all of their shipments including this order over to our carrier." This is in direct contradiction to the 12/10 email that I received indicating that a retailer had accepted the order. Certainly, Cask Cartel had not partnered with a local retailer who would not even have access to the item that I purchased until one month later! This order delivered on 1/13/2022.

Re: ORDER ending in ; again, I was told on the date of purchase (12/10) that the order was accepted by a local retail partner. Again, today is 1/17 and the item has not been shipped nor delivered. My multiple requests for updates have been met with generic replies without any substantive answers about the status of the order.

I requested my money back. Thus far, that request has been ignored.

Terrible customer services. Deceptive business practices. Buyer beware!

I accidentally purchased a grossly overpriced botte from this site. I tried to cancel within 5 minutes but they said no chance. I waited past 30 days from ordering and never received notice of shipment. I wrote them 32 days after ordering to request a refund that according to their policy i was then eligible for. Instead they wrote the supplier and forced the supplier to make the shipment 32 days after I had ordered and then said sorry no refunds ...corruption , didn't think businesses could get away with this in USA but I looked at their reviews and it seems they do this all the time to people.

CaskCartel Cask Cartel is the worst

Cask Cartel is the worst. Do not buy anything from this outfit. They do not stock any of what they advertise. They are a middle man and have no product available. Anything you purchase from these crooks is farmed out to whoever they can find to fill the order and then it gets shipped. I placed an order on 12/4 for Christmas gifts and just found out two days ago it was finally fulfilled and will be delivered on January 12th. Read their disclaimer thoroughly as it is how they are able to take your money with no refund and then give you the run around on your order. I'm giving them one star because it is the only option available. What they deserve is a negative ten stars.

This company charges prices that are over 900% the going rate. Bought a bottle of Bourbon for a Christmas present not knowing it wasn't a rare brand and paid $325 for a $30 bottle. Called immediately to cancel order once I found out it was a scam and they refused. It really is a corrupt company and should not be allowed to do business. Then they told me I could return but would have to pay an additional 35% restocking fee plus shipping! Why are they allowed to be in business.

I got a promotional email from them near Christmas. I wanted to get my husband a special bottle of whiskey and noticed one on the promotional ad that looked right up his alley. Like an idiot, I didn't check to see if I could get it anywhere else because on their site they said that "other smaller shops will claim to have it, but they don't. Only we do." So I instantly thought I need to get this now before it sells out. I spent over 70 percent the actual price of this "rare" (it really isn't) bottle when I could have driven 5 miles to get it way cheaper. So I emailed them to tell them I found it cheaper and I want to cancel my order - this was within 24 hours of purchase. They said they can't do it. They said, "we are the eBay of liquor on the internet so we have no control over a third party". But, kicker is you can't email the third party like you can in eBay. HOW IS THIS LEGAL?!?!? Any lawyers out there want to take this company on? You would win huge. Don't EVER buy from this company.

Company advertised Christmas specials, I ordered many bottles, knowingly over the market price, so that I could get them all from place in one order. After many calls with operations they finally admitted that they sold me product that they KNEW was out of stock and they would not honor any advertisements made on their website. They threw the upstream suppliers under the bus despite the fact that they KNEW none of the product was in stock. They took my money anyways, and are refusing to do anything about it. I've disputed the charge with my Credit Card company. Stay away from this company. They are charlatans.

CaskCartel DO NOT ODER FROM THESE PEOPLE

DO NOT ODER FROM THESE PEOPLE. They are a middleman aggregator, which is NOT clear on their site. They list products as "our tequila, "our vodka" etc. yet they own NO inventory, have no distribution, etc. They have merely wedged themselves in between the customer and the local retailer, eroding margin and not providing any meaningful service. If you order from them, they take no ownership of the order and hide behind their terms of service that note that once you place an order with them, it's up to the nameless and faceless retailers they have in their cartel to fulfill. They claim no control or guarantee of fulfillment, timing, etc. Nonsense. Shop local, don't give these guys your money.

They show that items are in stock and here it is almost a month later and I still haven't received my order. I placed the order from a different company and had it within the week. No refunds so I'm stuck with an extra bottle. Customer service is no help. They just send a pre written response which tells me they do this to everyone. Much better companies out there to order from.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY! They take your money upon order, they say they ship within 4-10 business days and on the 12th day they create a UPS label but do not ship the product. Their small print states that they have 30 days to fulfill. I've corresponded with customer service twice and have received horrible responses. No willingness to look into problem. Just standard line about "you will receive your order" and they mass produce shipping labels and when my order is ready they will turn it over the UPS. I will never order from here again.

If I could give ZERO stars I would. This company should be out of business. My brother (in the UK) wanted to send me a bottle of gin for my birthday. He picked out a bottle, which is hugely overpriced on this site, and paid for shipping. That was a month ago! After repeated calls and emails, he was finally given a tracking number a couple of days ago and though it was scheduled for delivery by *** yesterday, it still is not here. I just called customer service and was told that the delivery is "right on track" based on the original order date, as it takes up to 10 business days (i.e. two weeks) to be pulled and packed and then sent out for shipping. What a scam. Please don't do business with this company.

In response to an email solicitation from Cask Cartel advertising specific products being available, I placed an order for over $750 on Aug 25th. No indication of any items being out of stock was presented. No delayed shipping notices or messages. 10 days later, no shipment or notification. Sent emails and received lame response alleging that retailers were backed up, items were "highly" allocated, CV19 issues were affecting shippers. Now 15 days later, I called to get an update and another customer support member reels off the exact same responses (rehearsed?) Based on reviews I have seen, this is their MO, take your money and keep it for two to three weeks while they negotiate best prices with vendors and don't really care when or if your products arrive. It sounds like a Great model as they get ROI on "free" money, they never have to touch the product and are not "responsible" due to fine print allowing 30 days to "fulfill orders") Their tagline is: Order Online, Get Shipped! What a joke! What kind of people operate this way with a straight face? . . . Common, low life manipulators! Advice: STAY AWAY, there are dozens of other companies that have better pricing and deliver within 3-5 days!

CaskCartel If I could rate them a zero I would

If I could rate them a zero I would. I placed an order in mid September, and after multiple emails back and forth, still no product. In October they told me they could obtain the item through an "out of network" supplier for a surcharge of $15. I agreed since this was for a case of a hard to find rum and was worth it. Today I received an email stating that they have cancelled my order and refunded me, except they did not refund the surcharge. I will of course put this in dispute. But as the others have said, don't order from them. They suck. They have nothing in stock, they lie about what you can buy from them, they make excuses and keep your money as long as possible, and don't refund your full amount. I will make sure to share this with EVERYONE I know.

This company is deceptive and I don't understand how they are allowed to run their business like this. Would love to give them 0 stars. Ordered a bottle for $120 for a client- I found it for $30 elsewhere but wanted it to show up nicely wrapped and with a gift message as they advertise. They don't tell you until after the purchase that the gift message is a text that's hardly a sentence long. They hide a no cancelation clause in their agreement and refused to refund or work with me even though I called 30 seconds after the purchase when I found out about the gift message. After all that it didn't ship out for 20 days when they assure you 5-10. Customer service isn't allowed to help you in the slightest. I wish I could warn everyone what a money grubbing, horrid company this is.

CaskCartel Placed an order March 7th

Placed an order March 7th. Only received part of the order. 6 emails and 2 phone calls later, still don't have the full order and it hasn't been shipped. Today is April 2nd.

1st They said it was the shipper's fault.
2nd They said it would be sent within the week
3rd Over a week goes by, no answer to email.
4th Called and they stated shipper just shipped the item and they emailed me a tracking #
5th 4 days go by, item has still not been received from shipper (according to *** tracking)
6th I tried to cancel order, they refused stating it hasn't been 30 days and it had shipped Monday. How the hell did it ship Monday when the label wasn't created until Tuesday?!?!

DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY. You will be waiting and waiting and you have to sign for the package. It's terrible and they don't even try to make it right.

CaskCartel This company is a joke

This company is a joke. Definitely do not order from them. They have no inventory. It is 2 guys in an apartment giving orders to liquor stores to fill and then they send it to the customer. It took 30 days to complete my order, and it was only after I asked them on the 30th day where my order was that they shipped it. Then when it got to me, it was missing an item and when I told them about it they said that the item was discontinued. I contacted the distillery and they said it was not discontinued as it was there best sell, and to use a different company to order that they work with. 10 emails, 1 phone call, and 30 days after delivery I was refunded my money for the missing item. They wouldn't even make it right with me. I wish I would have looked at these reviews before I ordered because I would have avoided all this mess. I hope other people read these first. Zero stars isn't an option, so 1 star it is.

CaskCartel Poor Customer Service and High Prices: My Experience with Cask Cartel

I messed up and ordered the wrong thing from Cask Cartel (caskcartel.com). I realized my mistake right away and tried to cancel my order, but the person I talked to, Skilyn, was not very helpful. They didn't seem to care about my satisfaction and just pointed to the fine print in their purchase agreement. It was pretty disrespectful, if you ask me.

And to make matters worse, their prices are way too high compared to other online retailers. I mean, come on, who wants to pay more than they have to? Not me, that's for sure.

Another thing that bothers me is that they give you 30 days to receive your order. That might be fine for some people, but if you're ordering something for a holiday or special occasion, you don't want to take any chances. I wouldn't trust them for anything like that.

Overall, I don't think Cask Cartel is a very credible group. I regret trying to order from them and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.

CaskCartel Mixed Experience with Cask Cartel: Great First Purchase, Disappointing Last Order

My first time buying from Cask Cartel was a real good experience. I was happy with my purchase and I plan to keep using them. But, I gotta say, my last order was a bit of a letdown. They used a distributor in Florida instead of sending it straight from the distillery in NC. I mean, come on, NC is closer to Maryland where I wanted it to go. I bought it as a Christmas gift for my cousin, you know, something special. When I ordered for myself in Georgia for Thanksgiving, it came quick as a wink. So, I figured it would be the same for my cousin's gift. But, nope, it got to my Aunt's house after he had already left. That's a bummer, man. Luckily, he'll be back in the spring, but we missed out on a special occasion.

CaskCartel Disappointing Experience with Cask Cartel: No Cancellation or Refund Policy

So, I gotta say, I had a bit of a rough time with Cask Cartel. I placed an order for a gift for my buddy, and everything seemed to be going smoothly. But then, after I was already charged for the order, I got an email saying that they couldn't fulfill it at the price I had requested. I was pretty bummed, but I figured I could just cancel and get a refund.

Well, that's when things got even more frustrating. Cask Cartel has a no cancellation or refund policy, which I didn't realize until I tried to cancel. I mean, come on, who has a policy like that these days? It just seems like bad business to me.

Anyway, I ended up not taking them up on their offer to buy the same product at a higher price, because I just didn't want to pay more than I had originally planned. Plus, now the gift wouldn't arrive on time, which was a bummer.

Overall, I have to say that the people at Cask Cartel seemed fine, but their policies just didn't work for me. I'll probably take my business elsewhere in the future.

CaskCartel Disappointing Experience with Cask Cartel: Delayed Order and Poor Customer Service

I gotta say, I had a pretty rough experience with Cask Cartel. I put in an order way back in October, and it's been over a month now and still no sign of my package. I know their website says that if your order doesn't ship within 30 days, you'll get your money back, but they keep telling me it's on its way.

I did get a notification that a shipping label was created, but it stayed on that status for a whole week. When I reached out to them, they just said it had been picked up by UPS and that it wasn't their fault it hadn't been scanned yet. But when I contacted UPS, they told me that the package was still with the shipper and had never been picked up.

Now, I'm back to square one and they're telling me that my order hasn't even been fulfilled yet. I'm pretty frustrated because I'm out my money and no one seems to be willing to help me out. I'm not sure if I'll be ordering from them again anytime soon.

CaskCartel Disappointing Experience with Cask Cartel: Poor Communication and Customer Service

I was looking for a place to buy some client gifts and stumbled upon Cask Cartel. I placed my order and was excited to receive it. However, I was disappointed to find out that my order was shipped in three separate shipments without anyone informing me. I only received tracking information for one of the shipments, which arrived broken. I was lucky enough to have paid extra for premium insurance, which allowed me to receive a refund for the broken shipment.

Unfortunately, I never received the other two shipments that I had paid for. I was charged almost $200 for shipping, and the company only agreed to refund $50 of it, even though I never received the other shipments. After days of going back and forth with customer service, they finally agreed to refund me the $50.

I was extremely disappointed with the lack of communication and customer service from Cask Cartel. They refused to refund the rest of my money and made me feel lucky to even receive the $50. I will never order from them again and would not recommend them to anyone. It's a shame because I was excited to try their products, but their poor customer service ruined the experience for me.

CaskCartel Disappointing Experience with Cask Cartel: Incorrect Order and Poor Customer Service

I gotta say, I had a bit of a rough time with Cask Cartel. I ordered three bottles of Bourbon, got charged for all three, but only got one in the mail. I was pretty upset about it, so I reached out to their customer service team. I sent them some pictures of the incorrect order and explained the situation. They told me they were working on it, but it's been a few weeks now and I still haven't heard anything back.

Apparently, Cask Cartel relies on a third party to fulfill their orders, which means they don't always have everything in stock that they advertise on their website. That's a bit frustrating, especially since my credit card was already charged for everything. I asked for an update since we were getting close to Christmas, but still no word.

I'm not gonna lie, I'm pretty disappointed with the whole experience. I was really looking forward to trying out those other two bottles of Bourbon, but it looks like that's not gonna happen anytime soon. I hope Cask Cartel can get their act together and start providing better customer service in the future.

CaskCartel Poor Customer Service and Damaged Product from Cask Cartel - Beware!

I gotta say, my experience with Cask Cartel wasn't the best. I ordered a bottle and when it arrived, it was all messed up. Like, the bottle was damaged and the seal was broken and there was only like 3/4 of the liquid left. I was pretty bummed out, you know? I mean, I paid good money for this thing and it was all messed up. So I took some pictures and sent them to Cask Cartel, thinking they would help me out. But nope. They said something about "route" denying the claim and they couldn't do anything about it. I talked to a bunch of different people and nobody wanted to take responsibility. Like, what kind of customer service is that? Michelle, who I guess is an assistant manager, straight up told me that if "route" doesn't pay, I'm out of luck. Can you believe that? I mean, I don't even know who "route" is.

Anyway, I just wanted to warn you guys that if you order from Cask Cartel, you might not get what you paid for. They don't seem to care about their customers or stand behind their products. I've included some pictures so you can see what I'm talking about. Would you drink this? I sure wouldn't.

CaskCartel Mixed Experience with Cask Cartel: High Shipping Costs and Delivery Time, but Good Refund and Store Credit

I recently had an experience with Cask Cartel and I have to say, it was a bit of a mixed bag. I placed an order for a product and was excited to receive it, but after about two weeks I received an email saying that I would either have to cancel my order or pay an additional $50. I was a bit frustrated by this, but ultimately decided to cancel my order. The good news is that I received a great refund and store credit, which was a nice surprise.

However, I decided to give Cask Cartel another chance and placed an order for a different product. This time, it took a whole month for my order to arrive. I was also unable to track it, even after downloading the recommended app. I was a bit disappointed by this, as I had hoped for a smoother experience.

One thing that really surprised me was the shipping cost. It was shockingly expensive, which I didn't understand and was an unpleasant surprise every time I checked out. I stopped into a liquor store the other day and found every single bottle I was looking at for much less money and obviously no shipping costs. This made me question whether it was really worth it to order from Cask Cartel.

That being said, once I was able to get a hold of a representative, things were fine. However, initially I received a lot of conflicting information about the cancellation policy, which was frustrating. Overall, I think Cask Cartel has some good products, but the shipping cost and delivery time can be a bit of a hassle. If you're willing to pay a premium for convenience, then it might be worth it, but if you're looking for a better deal, you might want to shop around.

CaskCartel Disappointing Experience with Cask Cartel's Whisky Advent Calendar: Delayed Shipping and Poor Customer Service

So, I gotta tell you about my experience with Cask Cartel. I ordered one of those fancy whisky advent calendars on November 21st, and let me tell you, it was not a smooth ride. First off, it didn't even ship until December 7th. That's like, almost two weeks later! And then, get this, it's not even supposed to arrive until December 12th. I mean, I paid $58 for shipping, so you can imagine how I'm feeling right about now.

I reached out to customer service to see what was up, and they basically just said that they know it takes a long time to fulfill orders, but they didn't seem too worried about it. They did offer me a little coupon for my next big purchase, but honestly, I don't think I'll be taking them up on that offer.

Look, I'm not trying to be a hater or anything, but when you pay that much for shipping and you don't get your order for over two weeks, that's just not cool. So, if you're thinking about ordering from Cask Cartel, just be careful and know what you're getting into.

CaskCartel Terrible Customer Service and Third-Party Scams: My Experience with [Company Name]

I ain't never gonna deal with this company again, let me tell ya. I ordered some Whiskey back in November as a Christmas gift for my pops, but it never showed up. So, I found another place that had it cheaper and bought it there instead. Then, just last week, I got an email from these guys asking if I wanted to buy from a 3rd party for $30 more! Can you believe that? I told them to cancel my order, but they said I'd get a refund in 3 to 5 days. Well, it's been 5 days and no refund yet. But guess what? The bottle finally showed up on Saturday! So, I contacted them about sending it back and getting a refund, but they said they couldn't do that because it came from a 3rd party. What a bunch of baloney! I'm so frustrated with this whole situation. And to top it off, they charged me $80 for a bottle of liquor that I only paid $25 for somewhere else. That's just not right. This company has terrible customer service and I never agreed to buy from a 3rd party. Don't waste your time with these guys, folks.

CaskCartel On September 2, I placed an online order for two items

On September 2, I placed an online order for two items. The out-scourced tracking stated "attempted deliver" 3 times. I requested, no refund. On September 2, I placed an online order the caskcartel.com. The order entailed a bottle of Bruichladdich Bere Barley 2010 Single Malt Scotch Whisky at $109.99 and a Bonus gift, free of charge. With shipping, Order # *** totaled $129.48 US . By Sept 29th, 2020 this order had yet to arrive. I contacted CaskCartel and spoke with Angela. She stated the package was on its way. According to the tracking the outsourced delivery service, GIO, the claim the made "Attempted Delivery" on Sept 29, Oct 8, Oct 15, now Oct 19. Due to the COVID Pandemic, I have been at home all the above dates. No package or notification came at all. I contacted CaskCartel by phone and was told the package did not yet return to vendor (though I requested cancellations of order Oct. 8, 2020. I feel I am entitled to a full refund to my CreditCard account without a delivery failure charge. This company is a scam. I hope Florida DAs looks into the disreputable company. I also noticed the many complaint other consumer have against CaskCartel.

Dec 1, 2021. Placed an order for alcohol to be delivered within two weeks. It is January 3, 2022 and the order has not arrived. I sent several emails asking the status of the order. At one point, they offered me the order if I would pay another $100+ dollars. This is FRAUD. I asked for a refund, they said no. When I sent another email today, the package will suddenly arrive at the agreed price tomorrow. I am longer at the said address as I was only there for the holidays. What a coincidence.

On Dec 3rd 2021, I placed an order for 3 bottles of rum for $159.35. After several complaints and questions on when my order was going to be delivered, finally on Jan 3rd the business admitted they didn't have the product! They then told me on Jan 5th, that they needed 'management approval' to refund my money. I have seen many similar complaints about this behavior from this company (I wish I had seen them before ordering from them) and have zero confidence they will do that and believe they will just hope I forget and keep my money. Please help!

CaskCartel CaskCartel Support says product order is complete but no product has been shipped

CaskCartel Support says product order is complete but no product has been shipped. *** has received no package. Retailer has not delivered. Order placed with CaskCartel on December 16. Order Number *** was accepted "your order has been accepted by a local licensed authorized retailer partner for processing & fulfillment. Your order is confirmed We've accepted your order, and we're getting it ready. Come back to this page for updates on your shipment status. Other tracking number: *** As of January 20, no package has been given to ***. *** shows in tracking delivery date pending, no package from retailer. CaskCartel Support says, "I have spoken to the retailer directly who has informed me that there have been some technical complications on the part of ***, but they are in the process of getting the issue resolved and I'm expected to receive an update on that by the end of today or possibly Monday. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. The order will be fulfilled. I assure you of that! I apologize for your experience so far." As of this writing, I have had no further input from Support. I have lost faith that I will ever receive my order and I have lost $114.45. They were quick to charge my credit card but not deliver my order.

My TEN YEAR OLD niece purchased a $120 bottle of wine and the company is refusing to refund. Again a literal child purchased this and they are saying they can't refund because there is a button where you click yes or no saying you're 21 without any verification needed. A 10 year old got ahold of my phone and made the purchase. PARENTS BEWARE THEY WILL SELL ALCOHOL TO YOUR CHILDREN.

CaskCartel We placed an order on the 1st of Jan

We placed an order on the 1st of Jan. 2022. for 3 bottles of liquor that are hard to find in stores around us. We initially spent 310$ on our order as was the price listed for the items we wanted. Then 5 days after we placed our order they said they could only complete our order if we paid an upcharge of 110$ because they had to source the product from somewhere else. They did not give us the option for a refund. Only an option for a credit on their website or pay the upcharge. Some of our purchase are gifts so we decided to go ahead and pay the extra 110$. I did notice on their website it says that if a product is out of stock or discontinued then a refund will be issued. This entire time I have been calling and emailing trying to figure out where our order is. Their customer service has not been helpful and they have said on the phone they will contact the distributor and email me back with an answer, which they never did. We received 1 bottle of rum yesterday on the 18th. Which is a third of our order. My wife and I are getting tired of contacting their customer service to get an answer and getting nowhere with them. They have our money and we have been waiting nearly 3 weeks for our order. We just want our order that we bought. We are starting to feel like we are not going to get our order and that they will somehow scam us and we will not get everything we ordered or our money back. We would like shipment of our order please.

Ordered something from them almost a month ago. They won't tell me where it is, or when it will be here. Emailed them multiple times, and if the decide to answer me, they give me an extremely vague answer. They took my money for a product that I believe they have no intention of shipping to me.

I mistakenly placed an order for an incorrect product, and after immediately recognizing it, I requested to cancel shortly after placing it. With no concern for my satisfaction, a rep, named Skilyn, disrespectfully and defiantly refused to consider my request. In contrast of a reputable merchant, Skilyn pointed to the fine print in their purchase agreement like a 'got ya'. Plus, their allowance is 30 days to receive a product after placing an order, so Cask Cartel should not be trusted for any holiday orders. This is not a credible group and is an outlier of all other merchant policies, especially in the current environment.

We ordered a bottle of Still River Rhubarb Old Tom Gin (500 ml x1 bottle) for $114.99, plus a charge for "Route Package Protection x1 for $3.55, plus shipping of $30.38 (thus with a grand total of $148.92 USD) from carskcartel.com. The order number is***, and the order was made on 12/13, and we received a confirmation email on the same day. After not receiving shipping information we sent a reply on 12/22. They stated that there were delays but that the bottle would be shipped within 4-10 business days of the transaction. There was still no reply by 1/2/2022, so my husband sent an email requesting shipping information or a refund, and also called and left a message after getting a voicemail message saying they were closed for the holiday. On 1/3/2022 my husband called again around 12:00 pm EST and still got the same reply. On 1/3/2022 in the afternoon, we received an email giving us 3 options (please see the attached) to resolve the problem. Their options involve giving them more money, waiting for an undetermined amount of time for delivery, or getting a credit and not receiving the bottle we ordered for my parents 33rd anniversary. The reviews that we have read on Google indicate this tactic has not resulted in shipment of orders for people and they have been out of their money. Just looking for help with either the delivery of the item or a refund (not a store credit because we wonder if this is a scam). Thank you very much!

CaskCartel I ordered a product off their website

I ordered a product off their website. They shipped me the wrong item. I want my whole refund back. I have ordered a bottle of Johnnie walker Blue Label King George V off of cask cartels website. They had it on their website for $799.99. I ordered it back in December 23rd of 2020. The total amount came to after tax and shipping $832.01. So I waited for my order to come in and it came in in January 15th. I opened the box and saw that it was the wrong item. They gave me another kind of the Johnnie Walker King George V. It was the edition when the Johnnie walker and company collaborated with the sons. So I contacted Cask Cartel and I spoke with a customer representative named Jabree. That person was helpful to help get my correct item. Then I got a email back from her after emails back and forth of what is going on and she tells me that the item I ordered was correct. So I did my research and found out that they did in fact give me the wrong item. I even contacted the Johnnie Walker company and told them the same thing and they said that they gave me the wrong item. So now I asked for a refund. I got a new email from a Taylor person. This person told me that their logistics team said that this is the correct item and that the company can at times change their labels. So I relied back saying that it wasn't the right item. I told them the same thing about contacting Johnnie Walker. So now they emailed me back saying that they will give me the refund back in 3-5 business days but are charging me a 35% restocking fee for their mistake. So I would like your help by getting my full amount back of $832.01. Please and thank you.

CaskCartel Item ordered December 1

Item ordered December 1. Still no item or tracking provided as of January 6. Little to no correspondence with the company. On December 1 I purchased a bottle of expensive Bourbon for my boss. Plenty of time to arrive before the holidays. I still have not received the item, or any tracking information as of today (January 6). I have reached out to them countless times. Via e-mail,*** messenger, commenting on*** posts, and ***. I have received a few emails back, all of which are very generic. They always say the same thing, "shipping delays" and "we will look into it and let you know", etc. One email that I received back on December 23rd said that my bottle had arrived and it was being shipped out. Obviously that has been nearly 2 weeks and I have received no tracking information on said shipment. I have emailed them 2-3 times after that, inquiring, and am being told that they're looking into it and will follow up. No follow up. No product. But yet, I still have the $128 charge on my credit card. But hey- they "attached" a printable card to an email to pass alone to the individual I bought the bourbon for. Which was just a slap in the face. This place is completely fraudulent and is seemingly taking customers' money with nothing sent to the customers. This isn't an uncommon complaint with them. They are not upfront about anything in regards to your order. I held up my end of the bargain. I paid for my item. Yet, they have yet to hold up their end. I just want the Bourbon now, or my money back so I can purchase it elsewhere. It's already embarrassing enough that I've told my boss that his gift is delayed beyond delayed.

CaskCartel I ordered a bottle of scotch from CaskCartel on December 27th

I ordered a bottle of scotch from CaskCartel on December 27th. They sent me a confirmation email reading: " CaskCartel.com ORDER XXXXXXXXXXXX Thank you for your purchase! Hi ADAM, your order has been accepted by a local licensed authorized retailer partner for processing & fulfillment. ..." On January 7th, 2022 I received the following email " CaskCartel.com INVOICE #DXXXXX Complete your purchase Hello, Thank you for placing your order with Cask Cartel. We truly apologize for the delay. Our in-network retailer that we sent your order to for fulfillment, did not receive their shipment of Glenfiddich 19 Year Old Reserve Single Malt Scotch Whisky - Age of Discovery. We have a couple of ways that we would like to resolve this for you. Option 1: We have contacted an out-of-network retailer and they have this item in stock; however, they are charging more for this product and it would cost you an additional $100.00. If you would like this option, please click the link below to make the payment. Option 2: If not, we will continue trying to source this bottle from other out of network vendors but a delay in fulfillment may occur. Option 3: You can use this credit towards another similarly priced product available on our website, and we will do our best to expedite that fulfillment for you. We want to do everything that we can to ensure that you have the best experience, and desired outcome, so please let us know how you would like to proceed. Warm regards, Michelle" They charged my credit card for an item they said was in stock, accepted the order, and are now trying to charge me an extra $100, break their agreed upon timing, or switch out the product for another vs. the one advertised. I would like a refund instead of this false advertising bait/switch behavior.

CaskCartel This company refuses to cancel your order unless you are willing to place another order

This company refuses to cancel your order unless you are willing to place another order. I recently placed an order online (Order #XXXXXXXXXXXX) with CaskCartel and soon after realized that I ordered the wrong product. I immediately contacted the company via their website and requested that the order simply be cancelled. At that time I had not received an order confirmation or any tracking information regarding my order. Their customer service team replied with the following response: In order for me to be able to submit your current order to be canceled and refunded, we will need you to place a new order for the correct item. As soon as you are able to do this, kindly provide us with the new order number and then we will be able to submit your current order to be canceled and refunded as long as it has not shipped. To me this seems as though the company is holding the customer hostage once they place an order. For some reason, they are only "able" to cancel your order if you place another order, and even then, only if it has not shipped from their supplier. When asking if my order has shipped, they would not confirm that the order has shipped and would not provide me with any information as to when or where my order was going to ship from. In addition, they have already billed my credit card for the order and are not willing or able to provide any information as to when I will receive my products. This feels as though this company simply takes your money and then provides no customer service beyond that point. At this point I am questioning whether I will ever get my order delivered. Not the best customer service practices and I question whether a company can legally charge you for a product and then not provide you with any information as to when or if you will ever receive the products purchased.

CaskCartel I ordered a bottle of premium vodka for a special occasion on 9/24

I ordered a bottle of premium vodka for a special occasion on 9/24. I received a package on 10/19. Upon opening the package, I realized the bottle they sent me was not the requested bottle, but a bottle that looked similar but was significantly less expensive then the one I ordered and was charged for. I sent Cask cartel an email with pictures of what I ordered vs. what I received. I also called them. While talking on the phone, I was told this was a distributor problem, and not something they had control over. When I asked if the distributor would be asked about this, I was told that was not something they could do. (I felt like they may have been trying to send me a similar cheaper bottle, hoping I would not notice). Regardless if this was intentional or an honest mistake, I was told they would send me a return label. I thanked them and let them know I no longer would need the original bottle ordered, and that I would return the wrong one that was sent and they could cancel my order and issue a refund. I received a response saying "I will direct the retailer to go ahead and submit your order for managerial review for a refund". I did not hear back from them, for several weeks, so I called them and asked why I had not received a refund. I was informed that the shipment was on the way. I let them know I had told them in writing I did not need or want the shipment and would like a refund. They said they would call the distributor, and that if I received it, just refuse shipment and pay a 35% restocking fee. I let them know this made no sense, as I had told them to cancel after the sent me the wrong bottle. They said they would look into it. On 11/15 a box is on my doorstep (no signature needed, just as it was with the first one). I called them very upset, and asked to return item for full refund. They responded that is not the cancellation policy.
