9/30/2016 -- I thought I reviewed the place before. I first came here, after noticing they were opening when in TJ Maxx -- around New Years Eve 2015(?) because I didn't have time to get to my regular spot. The prices are NOT that cheap. In fact, some are $4 - $5 more than I'm accustomed to paying, but desperation and distance weighed in, so I bought just the bare minimum.
On my most recent return, just 5 days ago on a Monday while in the area (Target), I figured I'd stop by since I needed some Tanqueray minis. I go check out the price for the minis. Now hear this: the price per mini was $1.99 per bottle, but if you bought 3 or more, you pay $1.66. AND if you bought by the 12-pack, it's reduced even more to $.99 each (since you're buying in bulk). After discussing the details with the girl, it sounded like the deal I was looking for -- since I wanted a large amount. So I asked for five (5) 12-packs, which equals 60 bottles. She said they didn't have five (5) 12-packs in stock, she took my number and said she'll call me because they'll more than likely get more in a few days. I gave her my number and waited for her to call. Fast forward to Thursday. Keep in mind that I haven't received a call from her (or them) AT ALL! I call them Thursday afternoon (3 days later) and state why I'm calling. The girl remembered who I was because she says "Is this Dee?" Then she says -- now get this -- "oh, that's not the price anymore; it's not on sale. You needed them for an event, right? Well, the price is actually $1.99 a bottle and, when is your event? Next week? Well, they won't go back on sale until, umm, November." REALLY??? The neighborhood liquor stores are selling them at that price! This just sounded like, because I needed so many bottles, they wanted to hit me in the head and raise the price to kill the deal. RIGHT? Or am I wrong for thinking this way? Also, I felt it was very shady because if they really had good intentions, why didn't she (or they) call me the next day (as they said they would) to let me know this? Now, I admit I messed up because I should've paid for them on the spot to lock in the price, but I thought they were honorable, so I just gave them my number and expected to have what I needed in a couple of days. Now I'm here scrambling around to find these minis! Ughhhh.........
I'm done with Wine & Liquor Superstore because (1) they're just trying to be another PJs and (2) they're prices are 4 to 5 to 6 Dollars more than PJs' prices. You ONLY get a deal on some bottles if you buy 3 or more (of the same brand and flavor). See, now this is why I'm always willing to spend the gas and pay the $.50 on the meter to ride over to PJs and get good deals. Plus it's well worth the trip because when I go there, I always have a shopping cart full of goodies, so it's well worth it. Even if it were just one bottle, I'm still paying $4 less than Wine & Liquor Superstore.
This place may be a "superstore" because of the size and variety, BUT they're definitely not cheap. The ONLY good thing about this store is that they're convenient and parking isn't an issue because it's part of a mini mall. So if you're desperate and can't get across town, ok, buy what you absolutely need at this place or STEER CLEAR!!!!!
I would give them 3 stars * * * because of the variety ONLY, but the customer service and honor code earned them 2 stars * * because I've definitely had better. read more
