GBBest place for old wine, even if not perfect The markup is more than I think is fair, but they are up front about it. It's always risky buying "used" wine, but it also allows me to buy older stuff. Overall, there's no better place to procure old wines and often at a good value.

GBNever again The worst customer service and treatment in any wine shopping experience I've had. I have since closed my account. Unreliable and untrustworthy behavior in dealing with me, which makes me question the trustworthiness of their wines especially given current scandals about fake wine in the news. Shoddy customer service. Simply terrible. Also, when you factor in all their charges, the wines are overpriced.

GBAbove average shipping fees Above average shipping fees, and slow shipping to boot as well. They claim to have shipped on 1/22, but I'm unable to see where the shipment currently is until it's delivered into the possession of the Texas delivery company they've contracted with. How am I supposed to know when to be home to sign for it if I may only have 1-2 days notice, if even that? I would never use this service again, especially if purchasing an expensive bottle.

GBGreat for hard to find wines. I saw a few negative reviews that did not make sense and wanted to voice my support for winebid. I order multiple bottles a month. These are hard to find, or strict allocation wines. They do a great job of presenting them for sale. I have picked up from their facility in napa and they have had great customer service plus I can vouch for the cooling system cause that place is cold in the warehouse! If your looking for the best deals go to Bevmo but you won't find most of winebids offererings there. Two thumbs up from me, keep up the good work.

GBAlthough they have reasonable exposure… Although they have reasonable exposure in the marketplace, WineBid holds your money after they sell it for additional 30 BUSINESS days. They require buyers to pay immediately with a credit card on file, collect the completed auction amounts then keep your cash for 30 business days. This is approximately 6 weeks before they give you YOUR money. There is no way it takes nearly this long to process incoming payments. Money moves instantly with electronic fund transfers these days. I can understand a week tops, not 6 weeks. They also charge the industries' largest commission of 15% for large quantities (18% for smaller batches). I have determined there are far better places to sell wine. Try K&L for example. 5% commission.
