Have you had success with alcohol order with garden grocer

Cyh · 04-24-2012, 02:23 AM

Yes, we ordered beer last summer but We couldn't pick a brand since it depended on whichever grocery store they would purchase from. Ordered 6 pilsner type beers and 6 bottles of IPA. The lady on the phone had no knowledge of beer types so I had to give many examples of beer brands just in case.

I called in the items to add in to my original online order. In the end I realized we did not receive a receipt itemizing the price, but it was $43 which also included 1 lb of fresh Atlantic salmon filet I added by phone as well.

Still cheaper vs ordering at the hotel bars or the general stores in the resorts.

Not sure how u would order wine with all the different varieties but we just brought some from home in our luggage.

We ordered some budweiser recently and they called back straight away to say that this wouldn't be a problem and to check how many I wanted.

We ordered from wegoshop.com last month and here was my booze order:

"Any Sauvingon Blanc that is New Zealand, Marlborough, screw on cap, under $15".

She found us a great one. I have to say, I was very impressed.

Yes, I've ordered both wine and beer through them and it was no problem. Someone of age needed to be present to receive the order (couldn't be dropped off).

wegoshop will drop it off with bell services if you send them a copy of your i.d., if gg won't do so, and you won't be able to meet them there. We're getting in around midnight and wanted our stuff for the next morning (and a drink), and that's what I had to do.

We ordered wine and beer without an issue. We got bud light or coor light beer so that wasn't going to be an issue. For wine, we told them the type and price range.

I have had great success getting what we needed from garden grocer. Like most ..I specified the type of wine and price range .. one time .. I actually gave them the name of a Pinot Noir that is typically available in groceries stores here in Michigan and they actually delivered it.

Very pleased with their service.
