This is one helluva company: great selection, good prices, and remarkable customer service. Quickly becoming my go to wine supplier.

They say the have a 100% satisfaction guarantee. I ordered a $228 bottle of Blanton's black as a gift for a friend. It was damaged in shipment and leaked in the packaging. I immediately contacted them with pictures and details. They offered a $16 refund to cover the damages. They can keep the $16 dollars. Lots of other options out there. They certainly would not pay their supplier if they showed up with damaged inventory, yet that's what they expect of their customers. read more

frootbat does a great job. they are quick on getting out your product, it is always packed fabulously & their prices are the best. plus, i had an issue with a shipment & they corrected it immediately - customer service was outstanding!!! read more

Bait & Switch tactics. Would do ZERO stars if I could. Ordered 2 bottles of small batch bourbon for Christmas. Order was confirmed and a delivery date set for 12/23. Received 2 bottles of ordinary bourbon on 12:26. Contacted Frootbat and they offered to make it right. Next communication was so sorry but we can't get that bourbon. I requested a refund for the difference since what I bought was more expensive than what was sent. Today's response was that the ordinary bourbon they sent is actually priced higher today than what I ordered: however that is completely untrue when I checked their website site prices. Disreputable, dishonest and disceptive. read more

Order packed Dec 19 Order shipped Dec 20 Order delivered Dec 30 Order arrived safely and securely packed in styrofoam case. Would not order from Frootbat again. read more

Frootbat - Example of super long shipping process - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Lewes, Delaware

Ordered a bottle of Blanton's Special Reserve from them and couldn't be happier or more satisfied. The price was the best I've seen it so I was anxious but decided to pull the trigger. I ordered the bottle on Saturday afternoon, June 29th, and it arrived today, July 2nd. The bottle arrived in perfect condition. The box was the correct size and it was secured with 2 inflatable bottle bags. There was no leakage or a cracked wax ring. The Blanton's box was folded in with the bottle as well. My lone issue is they didn't include the bag. Not a huge issue since I have many other bags just sitting in a drawer. I hope my further order goes just as well. read more

I have ordered from this company before with no issue. However, I ordered and paid for insurance protection for a bottle of rum which was an Xmas gift. It arrived and the plastic seal was broken as well as the gold top cap. I sent pics to company and asked for refund. I paid for insurance protection as well. They did not offer a free return of the product and only offered a small credit of $3.40. This is unacceptable. I would never recommend ordering from this company. read more

extremely poor customer service bait and switch tactics they will sell you a bottle then they won't deliver it because magically it's not available. they take your order but don't deliver what you ordered instead the try to switch you into something you didn't purchase very sketchy can not recommend read more

I would NOT recommend frootbat anymore. I've been a loyal customer for years but after my most recent experience I can't go back. I purchased three bottles (JD 14 and 18 yr redemption x2) for the price they had on their site. My purchase was completed, card charged. Then 8 days go by, the JD shows up but I get email saying the two bottles of redemption rye were priced incorrectly and they can't source them so they will either refund or I can have a credit. With the refund I get 30 days to use a 10% off coupon. Guess what , their system will find a way on fees to get that 10% back so useless and it's capped at $100. Meanwhile I check the site and the redemption I've been waiting 8 days on is advertised for sell but 4 times the price they sold to me! That's terrible customer service! Good customer service would get me my product for what I purchased it at and fix the issue so it doesn't happen again. Stay away from frootbat they don't honor their prices as advertised. read more

Frootbat - Bad customer service - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Lewes, Delaware

Frootbat has now joined the ranks of other substandard, greed ridden, anti consumer online alcohol delivery businesses. They were one of the few remaining companies that provided fair pricing, safe shipping and a responsive customer service option. Unfortunately, Frootbat has fallen victim to placing corporate profits above consumer relationships. I shopped and purchased a bottle as a gift some weeks ago. I arrived to the event without a gift because Frootbat chose not to honor the transaction due to a pricing "error". They waited weeks to address the issue and offered a few unacceptable options as a resolution. My response prompted an immediate cancellation of my order and a 10% discount ( with a cap ) for a future order. This company only cares about money, Shoppers BEWARE!!! read more

Frootbat - Frootbat Listing "Error" - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Lewes, Delaware

I have ordered from Frootbat 4 times. My first three orders went ok but the orders were slow to ship and arrive. You have to watch their pricing because it can change before you check out. My last order for a case of Austin Hope was a disaster. I spent hours calling and emailing their weak customer service team and checking in with FedEx. I am not sure which company is worse -- Frootbat or FedEx! After waiting 3 weeks for the wine to arrive, I gave up and filed a dispute with AMEX. Be sure to watch their pricing because they will trick if you are not careful. Never again. read more

I have ordered many times and always had a good outcome. I used customer service on my last order due to my delivery address changed and was assisted promptly and my order was updated. Yes, the prices are inflated but you are able to get the hard to find items. I will continue to order with confidence. read more

Buyer Beware!! Will never purchase from the site again. Took over 11 days to receive order (3 wines) when the site says 3-5 days. Shipping label was created and FedEx waited 6 days to receive the shipment. Wine was received heat damaged and undrinkable- wax tops were popped off, corks were 1/3 way out with seepage over the bottles. When contacting customer service I had to email multiple pictures, multiple times (I included pictures in my original email). Their response time was very slow. After 4 days or so of back and forth they tried to only give 20% off order. They wanted me to eat $100+ on wine that was not drinkable. I kept requesting a replacement order. Days later they responded with 40% off. I continued to refuse the offering asking for a full replacement. No response for almost a week. Checked my credit card and they issued the 40% refund. I wasn't about to throw away $80 on undrinkable wine. I disputed the charge with my CC company. Only the did they respond saying they would replace the shipment. Took a couple days and they sent me a return shipping label. I was told once they receive the damaged items they would send a replacement shipment. Took another 5 days after receiving the return to ask if I wanted a replacement or refund. At this time it was 6 weeks after the original order. Their customer service was joke and was definitely AI generated. The audacity to ask to throw away $100 (then $80) on a product that couldn't be consumed. Super slow response times and unwillingness to make things right. If I didn't dispute the charge I would still be waiting for a resolution. Unless you prefer undrinkable wine, slow shipping, and awful customer service, I would strongly recommend not ordering from Frootbat. read more

I have ordered three times from from this company. The bottles have arrived safely. Excellent product fast shipping.

I ordered directly from them 2 weeks ago and never received the order. Only after 4 emails and 2 weeks did they respond that I would not get the product because "the price or product information displayed is incorrect." Shady. read more

Frootbat really are excellent. They have a great range of whiskey and bourbon at great prices and I've ordered a lot of great whiskey and bourbon from them. When I had one problem, caused by the delivery company, Frootbat were excellent and resolved the issue promptly with great customer service. Frootbat is impressive on multiple levels and recommend them 100% read more

RUN!! This place sucks when it comes to fulfillment and customer service. They messed up at least 4 seperate orders. Promised that they had the rare bottles of whiskey I paid for them upfront adn then ALL 4 times sent the wrong bottle. Promises of fixing and sending the correct bottles only to be emailed sorry don't have it. Weeks of time wasted and now to purchase elsewhere prices have already risen. Place is a joke. read more

Frootbat is a high-priced broker of spirits with no integrity. Ordered an expensive bottle of single malt scotch and because of the good price decided to order three additional bottles which I could have purchased elsewhere for much less. Notified by Frootbat that the expensive bottle was not available because they could not buy it for less than what was posted on their website. They had no interest in honoring their pricing and cancelled the order for the expensive bottle and left me with three over-priced bottles. For the inconvenience, they offered a discount against my next purchase but with a $22 delivery fee per bottle, there was no way I wanted to buy anything. After checking, Frootbat considers a discount the same as a coupon and they would not allow applying a discount with a coupon. My advice is stay away from Frootbat. read more

The amount of stress and correspondence that went along with trying to locate my order will never be forgotten. I'm so stressed out that I don't even want any alcohol for a while. So maybe dealing with them is a form of rehab. I was told forty different stories from forty different reps. Opened a claim with Fedex who claimed they delivered the bottle and had some bogus signature. I had it delivered to my mailbox service where a very capable crew signs for it...nobody by the bogus name works there. I tried to get the original shippers info from Footbat but they would not give it to me. They claimed they couldn't cover the loss because I had it shipped to a maiilbox. They claimed it was being shipped from out of the country but it was shipped from somewhere in New York. It was a super expensive bottle and it was never delivered. I contacted my bank for fraud. Worst online ordering experience of my life. I'll be scarred for life. I wish I had gone with my gut instinct. I believe nothing was ever shipped. read more

Had a very bad experience with Frootbat this week. 'Purchased' 2 bottles of bourbon. Prior to shipment, I was told the bottle of Dark Arts 6.5 YO I bought was actually Dark Arts 7 YO Rye, and I was asked if I still wanted it? No. They offered me a 10% off coupon for their error. The other bottle I thought I had purchased was a Bib & Tucker 10 YO Cask Strength limited edition. The bottle I received was the regular B&T 10 YO. After two emails and 6 attached images, they offered to sell me the bottle I received at a price higher then I can buy it for locally and half off shipping. They too are an online reseller that uses liquor stores across the USA to source and ship bottles for them. They blamed their supply merchant for the error. Funny how circled notes on the invoice noted they knew they were shipping the wrong bottle. Lastly, they sent me a UPS return ship label to ship the bottle back to them. I believe it is against the law for private citizens to ship alcohol via UPS? When I told them I would not ship via USPS, UPS or FedEx with my name as the shipper, they quickly set up a pick up from a shipper that is licensed to ship liquor. They also took responsibility as the shipper. They know the laws; they were lazy and tried to save a couple of on the return costs, or maybe they thought I didn't know the law or would look at who they named as shipper? Maybe you've had great experiences with them? My experience was a Sh*t Show. read more

Absolutely terrible customer service. I ordered a bottle of Weller and received a bottle of Penelope Light American Whiskey. After days of back and forth they admitted that "that our partner merchant has informed us that your order was possibly mixed up with a different customer and we are currently in contact with another customer who possibly received your order." (exact quote from them). They then said they were not able to speak with the other customer. I then said I didn't care if they hadn't spoken to the other customer, I still didn't have the bottle I had ordered 2 weeks prior. I still don't have the correct bottle, even after sending the wrong bottle back to them. No offer for future discounts or even comping the bottle; just hollow apologies. STAY AWAY FROM THEM! read more

Order placed 11 days ago. My credit card was charged. Order says " in transit", yet no tracking number provided, like every OTHER seller, including Grandma on Etsy! After contacting them, their generic response was that it's being sourced internationally, and could not provide any tracking information. Pretty sketchy, huh? Avoid this company. read more

COMPANY IS ALL FRAUD. Bought an expensive bottle as a gift. 4 days later still wasn't shipping. Reached out to website. CSR (outsourced in Philippines) said the company is a network of dealers and that they are still trying to locate the inventory. WEBSITE CLEARLY STATES ORDERS CAN BE CANCELLED at this stage. CSR REFUSED TO CANCEL - HAVE screen Shots of all. read more

SAM SCAM SCAM! I ordered a bottle of Blanton's for a ridiculous price. I didn't care because it's hard to find. They shipped a counterfeit bottle from China that wasn't factory sealed. After ignoring my emails for weeks they now are offering a 50% discount. I've contacted my bank and have received a credit back due to fraudulent charges. Stay away, they are horrible! read more

Tried listing bottles with this company, they strung me along for months. Their customer service was absolutely awful

Terrible service two consequtive orders haven't recieved the complete orders. They don't know their inventory and shared the same excuses. I don't recommend this company if you want to order liquer read more

They did not fill my order. They kept on telling me to wait. Sent over 10 emails asking for my order. They would not admit that they sold an item that they could not fill and did not have. After over a month, I filed a report with American Express to get my money back. WILL NEVER USE THIS VENDOR AGAIN! read more

Ordered several times. Prices OK but they charge sales tax even when delivering to a no sales tax state. Wonder where that money goes? Unethical and illegal. read more

I purchased a bottle of Single Oak Project for $124 (after using a coupon). I said to my father, "There's no way they'll let this go at that price, watch!" I received an email they were packing it...then an email saying they didn't have any and that my order was canceled. read more

Once again a waste of time with Frootbat. They advertise a low price and a week or 2 after you make the purchase they cancel the order and claim pricing error. Now all 11 of my friends and myself have been a victim to them and their deceptive false advertising and fraud. A real shame. read more

This company is disreputable. they took my money and failed to ship my item. Then after i threatened them for a week, they held my money for 2 more weeks before refunding. I later found out that the item i purchased experienced a price increase, so they cancelled my order so that they could sell the item at a higher price. read more

Scam site. Avoid. I ordered & paid for 6 bottles. Confirmed/receipt/etc. 6hrs later an email says they've cancelled two of my bottles, but they kept the SAME shipping and Same Taxes! No option to cancel the order. Reasoning given: 'our website uses an algorithm for price, it screwed up, we can't sell that to you at that price.' (It was a fair price BYW) That's it. Since when can a retailer get away with this? Amazon/Kohl's?...they don't list items in their website at the wrong price! Those two cancelled bottles were the reason for the order!! The other 4 were filler to maximize shipping (which stayed the same even after they removed what I wanted). It's click-bait. Took 16 days to get my order delivered. Two attempts to contact/email customer service with no reply. Avoid -- unless you love to pay WAY over retail. Good luck. read more

Terrible company, total scam, buyer beware. Do not trust, or give your information to them to purchase alcohol. I never recieved my order. Going to call credit card company to dispute the charged. I was lied to and this company is putting out bad information on products they are peddling. read more

I purchased a bottle of high end Bourbon on Frootbat's website for $468.99. After the purchase was complete, Frootbat emails me and said the price was wrong and if I wanted the bourbon it would be $182 more. Very deceptive and unethical business practices. read more

I tried to order something for an Xmas gift and it kept spinning at checkout. I contacted them and, man, initially they were on fire. They sent me a manual purchase link, (I asked a couple of questions and they respond within hours) and were great with the comms UNTIL after the purchase. Then I never heard back, contacted twice on email, and then finally called to see what happened. After calling they got on it but It took 2 weeks for them to process the order, and when they finally started processing it, it took several day for them to actually do it. Than longer to ship. When I asked if they were rushing shipping so I could have it by Xmas, they would not address the issue and simply said "Sorry". (they did the same when I asked when I asked why it took several days to process it). When I pointed out it was a yes or no question and it did not answer my question they again related "Sorry". Now I missed this as a Christmas gift and am stuck with it. read more
