GBDefinitely No Scam In My Book! In all of the years and numerous bottles of wine consumed, I have never had a bad experience with WI. There have been several times that I was either unhappy with a bottle or 2 and recently a shipment of 5; the wine was always replaced promptly, at no charge and to my satisfaction. I've been through the 'weeding out' process of trying various kinds/types of wines and have now settled on a few select favorites. This is not to say that I won't 'dip my toe' into the unknown pool again but I have every confidence about my future orders from WI. I do agree that FedEx is a far-from-perfect delivery service like they were once upon a time. Cheers!

GBCUSTOMER SERVICE CUSTOMER SERVICE, WHAT CUSTOMER SERVICE? THEY NEVER GET BACK TO YOU OR ANSWER EMAILS. THEY EMPTY MY CARTS. THE LAST 3 CARTS I MADE THEY EMPTIED SO I NEVER MADE ANOTHER ORDER AFTER ORDERING 5 TIMES. IT SEEMS WINE INSIDERS DOESN’T WANT MY BUSINESS. I HAVE TOLD THEM NUMBEROUS TIMES CHARGING A PROCESSING FEE IS NO FREE SHIPPING. GIVE ME 50% OFF WITH NO PROCESSING FEE, I'LL MAKE MY 6TH ORDER OTHERWISE WINE INSIDERS IS A SCAM AND I'LL BUY MY WINE ELSEWHERE.

GBThey need to take responsibility for their mistakes My issue is not necessarily with the wine itself (because I just got my order) but with the delivery process. I specifically requested that it be delivered to a local Dollar General because not only was I going to be out of town that week, but I didn't want it to be delivered in my conservative neighborhood. The FedEx guy attempted to deliver it to my house and when we didn't answer the door, he gave it to my neighbor who signed for it. I ended up getting it when I got home but the problem is that WineInsiders didn't take responsibility for this. They blamed FedEx. The FedEx guy just delivered it to the address on the box and gave it to my neighbor when I didn't answer the door. That sounds like a Wine Insiders issue to me.

CADo not trust this scam company Do not trust this scam company. They are having a contest for the "Ultimate Wine Insider". Check this out in the rules: "6. Grant of Rights By submitting a Submission, the entrant (a) represents and warrants that he/she has all rights, title and interest necessary to grant Sponsor, and does hereby grant Sponsor, without compensation or further notice of any kind, the worldwide, irrevocable, fully paid up, royalty-free, transferrable, non-exclusive, perpetual and unrestricted right (including moral rights) and license to (i) adapt, publish, use, exploit, edit, reproduce, make derivative works from or otherwise exploit such Submission, in whole or in part, in any manner and in any and all media now known or hereafter devised; (ii) modify such Submission in any way (including but not limited to any and all advertising and marketing efforts, inclusion on digital and social media channels, in-store and other point-of-sale marketing, digital billboards and other out-of-home marketing; (iii) use, copy, perform, reproduce, display, edit, modify and distribute any part of the Submission or any other submitted material, including, but not limited to, your appearance, likeness, voice or name, and to prepare derivative works of, or incorporate into other works, such submitted material, and to grant and authorize sub-licensees of the foregoing; and (iv) post the Submission on the Internet or use the Submission in any other way in Sponsor’s sole discretion; (b) agrees to indemnify and hold Sponsor harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, from any claims to the contrary; and (c) agrees to sign and return any additional documentation that may be required by Sponsor or Administrator relative to such grant of rights." Yep, merely send them a submission and they can steal all the ideas present in said submission, without acknowledgement or notification. Sound like a scam to you? It should.

GBPutrid In a word. . .crap. Husband insists on continuing to do business with them as he likes the wine selections better than what he can get in a store. Not worth it to me tho because I have a life too and it's a pain in the ass to either go out of the way to FedEx Office to pick the monthly box up or wait at home ALL DAMN DAY FOR IT as it is alcohol and needs "an adult signature." Still who in the 21st century waits anymore all day at home for a delivery? That law needs to be changed especially since I was stupid, left the house at the wrong time to go shopping today and FedEx who along with Wine Insiders botched the delivery method attempting to deliver it here unbeknownst to me for the next to last time instead of taking it to FedEx Office per hub's request FOR HIM TO PICK UP. It never ceases to amaze me how many unnecessary errors these inept asses have made and hopefully either one day that signature won't be required or another better company and option will come along. Till then I'm waiting for Godot both for a better option as well as for the dreaded delivery which if I happen to be home and available all day will not come till end of the day most times. Thanx for being so considerate of my time.
