Hi *******,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and I apologize for any gap in information regarding your issue. Ill be happy to provide clarity.
At the time of purchase, the shipping charge is processed.
The product fee (including sales tax) is only processed when the respective products ship. Until that point, the product fee will appear as a pending/reserved charge. Since your order was cancelled before the order shipped, your pending charge will disappear within a few business days.
I hope this helps to clear that up! Please write to us at [email protected] if you need further assistance, we promise to get back to you as soon as possible!Initial Complaint

I ordered $104 worth of product from Caskers on 11/28/2022. Was told product would ship in 10 days. 21 days later ( after hearing nothing) I was told my package was delivered. On 12/19/2022 I received an email stating that I had gotten my package. No package was at my door. When I attempted to call the customer service number it was not in service. When I emailed the customer service I was sent an auto reply stating they were too busy to answer. I had no way to track my product or reach anyone at the company. I felt like I had been scammed. It is unacceptable to offer no customer support, especially when people are spending this much money. I got my product randomly a day later ( even though when I tried to check the tracking number they gave me it said my order never existed). I would like the company to address their lack of customer support.Business Response

Dear ****,
Thank you for sharing your experience. Apologies for not serving you better.
I've investigated your case, and I'm happy to see that we've managed to expedite the order, which has now been delivered.
Let me provide additional insight into the problems you've faced with our service.
Were well equipped to handle concerns tied to the spirits industry, without our members ever noticing a disruption in the quality of service. This is what members expect of us by now, and its the standard we aim for.Recently, though, weve experienced several concurrent issues, which has made resolving them in a timely manner much more difficult. This led to some shipping delays, longer transit times or tracking issues. We're terribly sorry you were among the affected!
I can see that you were contacted by our customer service representative who addressed your concerns appropriately.
We will get in touch as soon as the dust settles and see if there is anything else we can do to make it up to you! Be on a lookout for an email from ********************Initial Complaint

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:As of the time of writing this response, I have not received delivery of the purchased items. Both my wife and myself have been home for the duration of the day and no delivery requiring signature has come to our home. Utilizing the provided tracking number also shows the package was last received in ********** at ****hrs yesterday 12/20/2022 with no further update.

I ordered a bourbon on 12/6/2022. Didn't get shipping confirmation until 12/9/2022. The tracking number didn't show any activity so I contacted them via email on 12/14/2022. They responded that they would look into it and haven't heard anything back from them Sent a follow up email on 12/16/2022 and have yet to get a response. This is supposed to be a Christmas gift. Now I have doubts I'll see it before the new year. Absolutely ridiculous. I used frootbat for it last time and had it in a week. They use ****** Not some no name weship outfit.Business Response

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:[The last memo I received was that the company could not locate my email tied to any order-despite 6 or 7 prior email exchanges and the pictures of the bottle they asked for-and I was so fed up with the inaction and confusion, I simply told them not to bother me any more. They then advised they would contact the vendor to find out what happened and get back to me with instructions on how to send back the bottle I received. I have not heard anything since and I don't care to. At the VERY least I would have expected a credit for the weeks of delay and confusion. I have no intention of continuing any discussion with this company. They also promote a support telephone number that is NOT EVER IN SERVICE. Another misrepresentation.
They are a horrible company that takes customers' money and breaks their promises.

We apologize for receiving the incorrect bottle. There are several outside factors that we are not able to control directly from distribution to retailers and the courier service tasked with delivering your order.

Dear *****,
After reviewing your case again, I noticed that you informed us on December 20th that you had discarded the bottle you received and were therefore unable to return it. When an incorrect item is sent, we are always happy to try and arrange for a return of the latter and for the correct bottle to be sent as a replacement. We are also happy to issue a refund for a returned incorrect good if you no longer wish to receive the correct product. In your situation, I'm afraid that since the bottle was not returned, we are not able to offer a replacement or a refund.
Nevertheless, we refunded the shipping fee on your order as well as added $20 store credits to your account as a token of apology for the inconvenience caused and a gesture of our goodwill. While a refund is not possible, we hope this helps at least a little to compensate for the poor experience.
Once again, we sincerely apologize for the frustration caused. If you need further assistance, please write to us at ******************** You can also call our phone support at this number: ***************. Simply leave a voicemail with your order number and one of our Phone Support Representatives will get back to you.
