The only company i could find that would ship smirnoff peppermint twist to the UK, Tyler updated me every step of the way, item arrived within two weeks, well packaged & exactly as described. Well recommended.

I ordered some hard to find beer. It was shipped in a very large box - too large for the 4 cans of beer. The beer was not protected well and rolled around in the large box. I also had to send an email asking about the status of my order. More communication would have helped.

I ordered 14 bottles of tequila. On the delivery date, only two bottles arrived and I received notice from the company that the order had been fulfilled. I had to 'prove' that it had not. It took two more weeks for the rest of the order to be delivered and Cask Cartel took no responsibility. They blamed their retail suppliers and the shipping company, but offered no assistance in tracking down why the order was split into three different deliveries. It took a half dozen phone calls, emails, and photos to finally get my order. I will NEVER order from this company again.

Tip for consumers:
A tip for others? Don't buy from Cask Cartel.

Customer R. – Cask Cartel Rep

Hello Carol. Thank you so much for this candid feedback and we are so sorry that you did not have a pleasant experience with your order. As stated in your review, you ordered 14 bottles of tequila. Unfortunately, to preserve the condition of the bottles while in transit, they would be required to be shipped separately. Typically, the most our fulfillment team will ship together is 6 bottles. However, even that is not always a good idea due to the items being so fragile. We apologize that this was not convenient for you. We have brought this review to the attention of our upper management team to ensure our future customers do not encounter the same circumstances as we are always looking for new ways to improve. Again, we appreciate this feedback and hope that you will give us another chance in the future!

I unfortunately ordered from this Co. Before reading reviews. I read reviews immediately after placing orders. E mailed them immediately to cancel the order. That was within 10 minutes of placing the order. They had all ready grabbed the money and said they could not cancel the order. Contacted PayPal and they told me to call them for refund. Of course they refused. So I will be calling PayPal back on the 5th as they instructed me to and go from there. SHADY COMPANY!

I purchased via Cask Cartel from Australia with a delivery to the USA. Just after ordering I found out the recipient would actually be away and not available to sign for receipt. I reached out to Cask Cartel as soon as I found out and they were able to arrange delivery to an alternate address where we could ensure a sign for receipt was received. Thanks so much for your assistance with this. Really appreciate it.

The bourbon was a gift, so I cannot attest to the quality of the product, but my interaction with Cask Cartel was excellent: the website was easy to navigate, the shipping prediction was accurate (even in the busy holiday season) and the packaging was safe and secure. I would absolutely recommend Cask Cartel to anyone looking at an internet purchase of high-end liquor. Thanks for everything!

Not happy with delivered product. I am a collector and you sent a bottle where the label was crooked and full of bubbles. Will not place another order with you, unless you send a return label and exchange it. Would like to order many other products but won't if this is the quality delivered

Always get a shipping label same day the order was placed. Always takes a week or more to actually be delivered to the shipping service, usually under a different tracking number. But, the bourbons I want is always available so I keep using Cask Cartel despite the lengthy lead time to receive the bottles.

After I placed my order, I was promised the date and they never came through on that date but prior to that I was trying to track it and I could not get through in any way, shape or form there any help from your people it was very stressful. This was a gift for a very close person to me and you guys ruined it.

Couldn’t get through to anybody couldn’t speak to a human being for a $350 bottle of Irish whiskey. That’s a pretty bad treatment of the customer.

Reason I chose this business:

Daniel on the net

Reason I chose this product:

Very special, Irish whiskey

My order was fulfilled and it took longer than expected to receive it. It was packaged well and arrived undamaged. Being a unique idea, it was my fault I didn't research. Other sites are selling the same item for less than half the cost. Expensive mistake on my part.

Reason I chose this business:

First site I saw with this gift idea.

Reason I chose this product:

Unique gift idea for Jack Daniels lover

I placed and order back in October. It's been over a month and it still hasn't shipped yet. Even though their site says if orders don't ship by 30 days you get your money back, they just claim its being shipped. I got the notification that a shipping label was created and when it still stayed on that status for a week, they told me it was picked up by ups and not their fault it hadn't been scanned yet. So I had to reach out to ups who told me No this packed is still with the shipper and never was picked up. Now I'm back to being told the order isn't even fulfilled. So now I'm out my money and no one is willing to help me.

On the day I was due a refund, CC tried to print out a label for 1 of 3 bottles despite my demands for a refund.

In the following week or two, they attempted to ship 2 of the 3 bottles to my gift recipient's address despite my repeated demands that they STOP trying to ship after their 30 day grace period expired.

My family at the delivery address were instructed to NOT sign for any bottles, and CC seemed to be in violation of their own shipping policies (adults must be present to sign for alcohol, ID must be shown). One bottle was supposedly delivered and my family member's signature was forged, the other delivery apparently was left just sitting out near the door somewhere.

In the end, Cask Cartel's shady business practices and illegal shipping processes caused them to lose the dispute I began with my credit card company.

Tip for consumers:
Don't order from CaskCartel. You'll be sorry if you ever need to contact their horrendous customer support.

I made the mistake of placing a large order with CaskCartel about 10 days before Christmas. Thought it'd be okay because during the ordering process they were giving feedback of "Your order should ship in 3-5 days". I bought the extra protection, and then hit the buy button.

Christmas came, and their customer support told me to relax and chill. New Years came, and I requested a refund. That's when they referred me to their Cancellation\ Refund Policy and told me "No Can Do". You have to wait 30 days.

Today I received an email 19 days after my last order to tell me their distributor didn't receive their stock in time. They then told me to buy elsewhere for $45 more, or continue to wait until it eventually shows up, or to request they provide me some store credit.

Uh... No thanks. My email exchange with this company is included in pictures.

Tip for consumers:
Don't. Don't use CaskCartel. I think all their reviews are from solicitations they pull from customers at the conclusion of the ordering process. I had no way to add, revise, or remove any review from the site once I was no longer in the purchasing queue. Everyone says, "Great Company", "Easy to Order From", and so on.

Please note that there is no way for authenticated customers to author any review on their website which shows they have a 5-star rating with 11K reviews? BS Alert!!!

Products used:
Nothing. Everything purchased from this company has been gifts for family members.

I ordered an item on 1/6/22 and one 1/18/22 I had not received the order, so I reached out to their customer service. I got an answer a day later telling me that a "UPS shipping label had been created". Sadly, by 1/25/22, the label was the only thing that had been created and my order was still in limbo. I reached out again to customer service and was told my order would be shipped in 1 to 2 days, but was also sent the fine print on their shipping that says they can deliver an order within 30 days of purchase and still be in good standing? As of today, 1/29/22 the same UPS label has not been shipped and yes 23 being prioritized on 2 occasions. Hopefully I will get my order by 2/6/22, (30 days) or my refund. I will keep you posted! Obviously, I DO NOT recommend this company.

I was so surprised to see how well the bottles were packaged. I have not seen that sort of care. It was amazing, especially considering how challenging the beautiful bottle was with the delicate gargoyle on top.

I needed an expensive bottle of Vodka (non-Russian) for a 50th birthday to be delivered within 3 days. I was so disappointed when I called to check on my order and found out that it was shipping from another country. I had read through the shipping and info very carefully before I purchased as I did need a quick turn around. They said it would be several more weeks due to customs. I was happy to report that it only took 2 weeks instead of 3 weeks total but was still disappointed that it was not communicated during the purchasing process. The recipient was very happy to receive the actual Vodka but I cannot say how it tasted.

The customer service rep was excellent and true to word.

Reason I chose this business:

I chose them because only a few companies sell expensive vodka that you cannot buy in a store and believing that I could get the alcohol shipped in 3 days time.

Reason I chose this product:

Chose the $200 bottle of vodka (non-Russian) as a extra special gift for 50th birthday.

When someone goes out of their way to leave a review, usually it's not positive. In this case, I am posting as a warning. I purchased a whisky "advent calendar" on November 21st and it didn't ship until December 7th, and won't deliver until December 12th if no delays. I paid $58 for shipping, so it's not a disgruntled review after getting something for free, I paid full price. When someone pays a significant amount for shipping and you don't fulfill the order for 2+ weeks, that is very poor.

I contacted customer service who acknowledged long fulfillment times, but didn't seem concerned there was no communication about it. They offered me a small coupon for my next large purchase. I will not be purchasing from them again. Buyer beware.

Tip for consumers:
Beware if you are hoping to get your order faster than 3 weeks later

Bought as a gift, as an "advent calendar" but it won't be there until it's almost Christmas

I contacted Cask Cartel asking for info about delivery. I was sent information pertaining to filing a claim. I wrote back saying I didn't need to file a claim, I just wanted to know when I needed to be home for the delivery. A Cask C. Rep wrote back that my order had indeed been lost or damaged. Then I received an email saying when my order would be delivered Wed. Of this week. The delivery happened and I have my order. Very confusing, and Cask C. Didn't seem to know what was going on with my order.

This purchase was a gift for a customer of mine. It was supposed to be sent with a note and also a text stating who it came from. The recipient of this gift received nothing and did not know who it came from.

Very disappointing. I will think twice about giving this type of gift again through Cask Cartel

It took a month to simply process my order so all in all it took over 6 wks. B. S Most of what they provide can be purchased locally so delivery is the convenience you wait too long for. I ordered the Von Payne which I couldnt purchase locally. The bottle is awesome! Has a silver gargoyle spout on it. The currant infused whiskey was wayyyy to sweet for me, it's more like a liquor but plan to use the kick $#*! bottle as a decanter for more palatable stuff.

Reason I chose this business:

FB add for Von Payne

Reason I chose this product:

Cool $#*! bottle and the description sounded tasty.

Your customer service reps were polite. However I ordered this one week prior to the huricane. It shiped several days after the event. I was told the delay was due to the huricane. I order from other online liquor stores, (reserve bar, total wine and wine.com). The ship within three days unless a heat wave delays wine shipments (wine.com). Additionally, You charged $139 for each item. I went on line and found the same item for $39 or $44. I probably will not buy from your company again.
