I rarely leave negative reviews
I rarely leave negative reviews, but this was one of the worst online shopping experiences I’ve had.
I found Just Wines through a Google Shopping listing advertising a non-alcoholic product with “Free delivery” displayed beneath it. When I reached checkout, I was charged over $23 in shipping. Customer service responded as both Sans Drinks and Just Wines, which was confusing, and they refused to honour the advertised free delivery, repeatedly referring me back to their website instead of addressing the Google Shopping advertisement that had influenced my purchase.
Communication throughout was incredibly frustrating. I repeatedly had to follow up just to receive responses, my requests to communicate by email rather than phone were ignored (I received multiple phone calls after specifically asking not to be called), and I was subsequently inundated with marketing emails that I had never knowingly subscribed to.
To make matters even more confusing, after days of correspondence I was sent an invoice through Sans Drinks, despite my enquiry always being about Just Wines. The invoice offered a worse deal than simply ordering through the Just Wines website myself, with a smaller discount and higher shipping costs.
In the end, I gave up trying to resolve the issue and placed the order myself directly through the Just Wines website.
Unfortunately, when the order arrived, they had sent the wrong item.
I contacted customer support immediately, but once again had to repeatedly follow up before receiving any meaningful response. Despite the mistake being a straightforward fulfilment error, I was told my enquiry was still being “processed” while the days passed. I had purchased these items for a baby shower and made it clear that time was critical, yet I still had to continue chasing them before the correct item was finally dispatched.
Everyone makes mistakes, but what disappointed me most was the repeated lack of ownership and urgency. Almost every stage of this purchase involved a new problem, and every resolution seemed to create another issue. By the end of the process, I had spent far more time chasing customer service than I ever should have for a simple online order.
Based on my experience, I would not purchase from Just Wines again.
