Don't give them your credit details or you'll be sorry
These guys are not contactable and keep charging my credit card account monthly and I have not put in any orders - I think they are scammers - I would avoid them and not give them you CC details - I cannot contact them and need to keep putting in monthly queries on my account - just go to Dan Murphys instead!

Product fine, shipping expensive, long and late
The product is fine, not competitively priced though. The shipping was $25 outside of metro, the quoted baseline time was 7-10 days, and blew out to 2+ weeks. No good for a gift to a bud. the only reason I'd use them is if I wanted alchohol in 2 weeks, which its not really cheap enough or special enough to want that anyway.
Used to be good but not anymore
They used to have competitive prices now they don’t even offer price matching even when requested. Now most stocks are more expensive than other stores.
Failed promised delivery
I ordered a birthday bottle of Champagne on the 24/05 to be delivered in the Sydney area in the 25/05 - on completing the order with a next day delivery status and having paid for it via PaPal. I then received a confirmation e-mail that delivery would be between 30/5 & 1/06 namely 5-6 days later than the agreed delivery when the order was placed. Totally unacceptable and nothing short of false listing ion the website

Deceptive marketing practices to take your money
Do not buy from these guys, they are dodgy! Bought a bottle and it was delivered later than expected, which is fine, it happens. Then found a subsequent charge for some subscription they automatically signed me up for without my knowledge. Assumed it's an "auto opt-in" which I understand some suppliers do. At this stage I'm still not annoyed until they refuse to refund this and have the nerve to say that I opted into this to take advantage of "their great savings". Seriously?
I checked their terms and conditions and nowhere does it say they do not refund in fact their terms and conditions say they provide refunds!
Have never wasted my time to write a complaint and see that I have joined many others. Should have done my research first.

Shocking, unreliable service
For my son’s birthday this May, 2022, we had ordered a mix of Belgian Beers and the promise
was for a speedy delivery, within days. Still no delivery and BoozeBud blames Australia Post
for this problem. Terrible company and we advise to stay clear.

Disappointed.
Seen the alcohol 25 dollars cheaper at Dan Murphy after I purchased it with Boozebud and that was even with Boozebud giving me 10% of and telling me it was on special and it wasn't. Telling me I saved 31.21 dollars. When actually I spent 19.04 dollars over for the product. Shop around guys don't make the same mistake as me.... don't belive them when they say it's on special.....

Don’t pay for the express
Saturday I needed to get a present for my father. I paid extra for delivery Monday.
Monday night the courier couldn’t contact me so he left unfortunately, not sure why he didn’t ring the door bell.
Was expecting it to come Tuesdays as the booze bud states in delivery policy
Unfortunately no show,
After a few email back and forth I finally got it Wednesday, a day after I needed it :(
The exact thing happened to me last Easter
They steal your money. DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE
Placed a next day order. Only received 2 out of the 3 items. No worries! Things like this can happen. Anyway followed them up via this online chat process and from my opinion gave enough time to resolve that very day (advised this was a gift for 50th birthday) anyway no update. Followed them up again next day and still nothing....asked for a refund and perhaps a phone call to provide me an update/apology ...nope cant call that's not the boozebud process.... Admited via the chat that they stuffed up and would provide a email advising of the refund...no email and no money back...STOLE my money. Nice work boozebud. Back to Dan Murphy for me. What a terrible company.

Buy elsewhere - hassle !!
Ordered some seltzers and margaritas and paid for same day delivery between 6-9pm. Got a notification of attempted delivery at 11pm to a completely different suburb. Rang Star Trek the next day and they advised my order number wasn’t correct. Spoke with Booze Buds who refunded my shipping (very considerate) and I told them when I would be home next day during the day for delivery. Got a message the next night at 10:30pm from Star Trek saying attempted delivery - no one home (I was home) - then a buzz/knock at our door for our alcohol at 10:40 w...
Read morehen we’re in bed- sorry that is just too late seeing as I gave an alternate day even though they got the delivery wrong. Not sure if it’s Boozebuds or their delivery but won’t be ordering from them again from the hassle .Hi Kate,
Thanks for getting in touch and detailing your experience. Our sincerest apologies for what sounds like an extremely frustrating series of events. I'm hoping you could please let me know your order number so I can follow this up for you?...

Seriously awesome service & great prices!
Very, Very happy with my order from BoozeBud! Initially, when I ordered online, I contacted their customer service as I needed help in deciding on a whiskey - had a great recommendation from them which I ordered. I also got great discounts and their site has awesome deals as well. Chose which day I wanted it delivered and got it on the exact day and packed really well. Cannot be happier with my order. I will definitely be ordering from them again!

Two weeks to get your booze
Most bottle shops will deliver within 2-3 hours. These guys are at least two weeks and they aren’t any cheaper than your local
Hi Daniel,
Thanks for taking some time to leave us a review!...
Read more Unlike most bottle shops, we do not have physical stores spread throughout cities and suburbs, thus all our stock is located between two major warehouses in Sydney and Melbourne. The benefit of this, is that we can keep a much larger range of products, as we're not confined by store size. I understand that delivery times are important, and two weeks is definitely too long - even for our most remote postcode. Would you mind letting me know your order number? I'd be more than happy to look into what caused these delays and offer your account a store credit for the longer than usual wait.

Never buying here again
I got a promo for 15% off and I did make a mistake and entered the discount code on the web version not app. Boozebud advised they could not reverse and even give me a credit.
Nightmare for returns and cancellation
Stay away!! Will give you a massive headache cancellation and returns beer catel a lot better to deal with not worth the headache
Hi Charlie,
Unfortunately, we were unable to cancel your order in time, as our systems are automated to ensure a speedy dispatch. I can see our customer service explained this to you as well as offer...
Read moreed a return slip for a free return and full refund. You initially accepted this and our CS team have requested a return slip to be generated at the warehouse (to be emailed to you), but you've since decided to freeze the payment. Doing this locks your payment and does not allow for us to initiate a refund for your return. I'm not sure why you've chosen to do so, but we will flick your return slip over to you none the less. Once the return is logged at the post office, we will refund your order immediately - provided it is not frozen.Absolute garbage and nonsense for a reply
Order was made 9.09 pm and cancelled at 9.40pm. And it was not picked up by a courier till 5pm the next day so this garbage that your blaming your system is ...
Just look at all the reviews before ordering it will definitely change your mind

One of your colleagues was looking into it at the weekend past. Very poor communication.
Hey mate do you deliver to Brisbane
Beware. My delivery to Hobart was routed via Perth and took 3 weeks, despite paying over $20 delivery charge. Nobody took responsibility or apologised. Very unimpressed.

Hi Nick,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us this feedback and our sincere apologies for the lousy experience....
Read more In normal circumstances, if a StarTrack courier is unable to reach you at time of delivery, they automatically re-book the job on their PDA for the following day. However, this, as you say, did not occur. We've been following this up on our end and are in discussion with StarTrack couriers to try and ascertain why the delivery service promise was not kept. I have credited your account as consolation for the experience, in the hope you can unlock a great deal on your next order - which I'm sure will run according to plan. Kind regards, BoozeBud
