First time customer
First time customer, bought Uncharted Whisky Co.'s 22yr sherry single cask, cask strength Highland Park for £90 which was terrific value. Slightly shambolic experience but overall no complaints. The bottler delayed the release date by about a month, which I didn't learn until I chased it up after a few weeks, and then UPS delivered it to the wrong address - I must give WIO a lot of credit here. After I notified them of the problem, Simon (the company director I believe) immediately over-nighted me a fresh bottle that was in my hands ~14 hours later, and also took it upon himself to retrieve the wrongly-delivered bottle, saving me traipsing halfway across the city to pick it up. Despite the delivery error being 100% on UPS (tracking info was correct and the 'proof of delivery' photograph clearly captured my correct address on the box label - except outside a door I didn't recognise that turned out to be ~5 miles away), Simon & WIO immediately made it right, which I very much respected.
I do think it's important to note that the two main issues that impacted my order, were not WIO's fault / were outside of their control (the bottler delaying the release date and the courier delivering to the wrong address). My sole criticism is that I'd say communication wasn't great - it could take a a few attempts to get through to someone on the phone, or take a day or two to get a response to an email. This is just conjecture on my part, but I got the sense that they're a bit understaffed and stretched a bit thin like so many businesses these days. At the end of the day, I got the bottle I wanted at a great price & I'm a happy customer.
