“I got no notice of impending delivery. There was nobody in when the delivery arrived. It was left by side gate (which was fine) provided a written note of delivery was posted in letterbox or via email or text. Delivered found some time later rather wet after remaining outside for perhaps 24 hours. Delivery was fully intact. W”

Hi Declan, Thank you for your review, and we're glad you liked the Champagne! Sorry to hear the delivery took longer than you expected, and thank you for your feedback on this. I've looked into this and I can see your order was placed on Sunday, dispatched on Monday and arrived on Tuesday. Our current delivery times are 2-3 working days, and you can find out more about our delivery timings here: https://www.obrienswine.ie/pages/delivery-returns We will look at ways we can communicate our current delivery timings better on the website, and we are currently looking at how we can provide faster delivery times for our customers - just a few hours would be amazing, fingers crossed it's something we can offer customers in the not so distant future! Kind Regards, The O'Briens Web Team

“DPD failed to deliver on Friday last as they said they had an incomplete address. I note that they did not have my eircode. The did however have my telephone number as they were able to send me a text to say they would deliver but no call was received regarding the address. The delivery was made on Monday.”

“Very disappointing. Although I realize it was the fault of DPD, my order was delivered to the incorrect address. The disappointing thing was that it took so long to sort out, when I finally managed to contact you. For a start I could not find a number to phone you. I phoned one of your shops and was told I would have to email you and that you would phone me then. It took two days before I heard from you. Then it took another couple of days while you tried to find out where the order was although I was able to tell you from the DPD message and photo. When someone phoned it was to be told that the order had been returned to the depot (presumably DPD depot), but still no resolution from my point of view. It was now a Friday. I didn't hear from you again until Monday. At this stage it was nine days since I had put in the order. On Monday (today) I was told that the order was being re-issued. I don't know if it has arrived yet. From the customer's point of view, it would have been much more satisfactory to have (a) some way for the customer to be able to contact you quickly in such cases and (b) for the order to be re-issued immediately once you see the error rather than trying to find out what went wrong, leaving the customer hanging. Your investigation could continue after the customer has been dealt with. I hope the choice of wines I made were good that I sent to my friend after all this fuss.”

“Glad of the service now that Brexit has stopped me sending anything at all from UK to Ireland for my best friends birthday/Xmas present but it would be helpful if I could have had the bottle of champagne delivered if not on the day then a day or two before.As it is O'Briens just takes the order and delivers at their own convenience so a bit of an anticlimax”

“I got this as a gift for someone and one of the beers was out of date when it arrived. Feels like they're just getting rid of stock that hasn't sold and isn't really a craft club. Bit disappointing.”

“Slow communication on shipping but it was over xmas so that is understandable but the wrong bottle was then delivered with no original Ruinart box, still waiting on feedback from O'Briens. Busy time of year, yes, but it was not that tricky of an order.”

Hi Alexander, Thank you for your feedback and I am so sorry about the mix up with your order. I can see that this has now been reshipped and a collection has been booked for the incorrect product. This has been raised with our warehouse manager who has scheduled a refresh training with the team re picking errors today. My sincerest apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Hi Ron, I am so sorry to see that your gift message was not included in your order. At times the notes can move around in transit/ slip down the side of the inserts. I can understand the importance of a gift message in an order especially for an occasion. I have flagged this with our warehouse so that they are vigilant about including the notes and to ensure they are in the top of the box where the recipient can easily access it. Please allow me to sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused. Kind regards, O'Briens Team
