Cellarmasters : harassing sales people!
I've used Cellarmasters 4 times before. The wine is typically a special wine produced by a winemaker specifically for cellarmasters. There have been a couple of nice reds in the premium category but even that wasn't worth getting out of bed for. My specific problem was receiving constant phone calls from Cellarmasters, every day, at odd hours of the day (they like to call when I'm cooking dinner and on Friday nights and without leaving a voicemail. I have answered some of them and there has been nobody on the other line. My smart phone detects the incoming number automatically which is registered at Cellarmasters.

Tech issues with online
Haven't been able to login for sometime. Had wanted to change my email address. Decided to forget about that and register with my new email address. But that didn't work either. Will need to ring, but not sure I want to. Wine I have bought from them over the years good. Love their Black Wattle reds but they are very expensive at $299 for 12..I am also wanting to stop their mailouts, no longer want stuff going to landfill...paper cannot be recycled more than 10 times, plastic bit in the envelope cannot be recycled at all, would love to be able to refill my clean wine bottles..is Brisbane behind the times eco wise. Have to get those manufacturers and retailers doing the right thing.

Slow then missing order, Mixed dozen not very mixed either
First & last purchase from Cellarmasters, ordered Charming dozen’ online to pickup at local BWS, a week later get an email, not text as expected, that my order was ready. Go into the store next night en route to a party intending to give 2 bottles as a gift - 20 minutes later cannot find order.
Ask them to call me THE NEXT DAY about delivering the next day so as not to be rude on phone at my event. They call me that night saying they found it and ask me to pick up. Eye roll. I refuse and ask for free delivery as not driving back to store next...Read more
day, and store eventually agreed. Next day, one hour on phone after being accused of not being home and not living at my address as driver could not understand ‘1/253 Ground floor unit’ is not the same as no 1253 on same road in another suburb. 2nd eye roll. If I had I not been home never would have got the wine and I would have been blamed for sure. White wine was virtually all Chardonnay, my least favourite, with one bottle of Sauvignon Blanc so not very mixed and tasted pretty crappy. Reds were quite good but again 3 bottle were exactly the same. Could not recommend at all.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Delivery advice
CM kept me up to date with my order. Acknowledged it, then advised approximate delivery date, then actual date, then message to say it was delivered .

All no care and no responsibility (Sydney burbs)
Missing box (box 1 of 2). The wine advisor I spoke with told me, several times, to “sit back and relax…your missing wine will be delivered...”. She didn't acknowledge concern, spoke ‘over the top of me’ on multiple occasions and used a very condescending tone.
Surprisingly the website states the order as “delivered”.

Good consistently reliable for decades.
Friendly helpful staff. I like their periodic specials n gift vouchers and have never had any complaints with their service or offers. With many online wine order competitors emerging, it would have to keep their special offers really special to be on top of the game!

I purchased a dozen wines which was not delivered, I waited 36 days and then canceled. I got my money back but no compensation for non-delivery. I ordered from another company which delivered in 10 days at a cheaper price.
Since then Cellarmasters have sent me several offers of wine, which get screwed up and thrown in the rubbish bin.
Stop sending the rubbish.

Good quality wine at affordable prices. Home delivery is also a massive plus.
I drink a lot of wine and like to have an ample selection on hand for entertaining. Cellarmasters always have a large selection and alternative wine varieties if you're feeling adventurous.

POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE
I purchased one case of 10 bottles of Aged Reds plus Free Bin and arrange to be picked up at BWS Oxenford Drive when I arrived to pick up my case and showed two valid and current Licences the BWS Staff refused to accept the ID's and to hand over my goods, it ended up in an argument due to the poor training from Woolworths Group due to valid and acceptable ID'S issued by different States in Australia under the Liquor Licence or Permit to sell or supply liquor (alcohol) in Australia, did agree for Nexday to pick up and redeliver to other address ...Read more
but still failed to do so and supply goods I have purchased, final they just cancel the order and refunded the money, all I wanted was the goods I paid for, I just think the staff member just wanted the case for him self why would he refuse the valid IDs. I was still caused for nor supplying valid ID's. from Cellermasters, BWS and Nexday, talk about Poor Customer Service and for look after your permanent customers.2 comments

Hi Vinnies,
Thank you for your review, and I am sorry to hear that you have been left dissatisfied by your experience with Cellarmasters and our BWS Pick Up program. ... Read more
As we have discussed with you previously, Cellarmasters and BWS are bound by Responsible Service of Alcohol provisions and staff are unable to release cases of wine to customers with identifications that are not recognised by the Roads and Maritime Services. As such identification was not forthcoming, this order was ultimately cancelled and you were provided with a full refund. If you require further clarification about our RSA obligations, or if there is anything else we can assist you with, please contact us at [email protected]. We hope to hear from you soon! Cheers, Marina.I did supply two current Licenses, one Queensland Licence and one NSW Licence for your consideration, so stop accusing me of lying and get your facts right.
I have never had a bad experience until it was taken over by Woolworths.
Regards Vinnie

Excessive Marketing
I purchased one case of wine a couple of years back. The quality of the wine was good for the price and the delivery went as promised. However, the reason for my low rating is the marketing calls made by Cellarmasters ever since then. They are usually while I'm at work and I still get calls despite repeatedly asking them not to call anymore. There is usually a break for a few months after each time, but then the calls resume on a weekly basis again.

Regarding calls from Cellarmasters, from time to time we have our wine advisors touch base with customers to see how they are enjoying their wine, and if there is anything they may be interested in purchasing. However, if you do not wish to receive calls from our wine advisors we can certainly remove you from our call list. Simply email your request to [email protected] and we would be happy to sort this out for you. Thanks again for taking the time to provide us with this feedback, and have a great day.

Confusing experience
Placed an order for delivery to QLD yesterday and the order completion email confirmed this, but my Cellarmaster account said delivery was going to be made to Victoria. Tried to call them during business hours only to get a voicemail message saying they were closed over the Christmas break. Received a phone call this morning from a very smug customer service representative offering to cancel the original order and re-order to ensure it would go to QLD. At the end of the conversation he advised that it would take approx. 10 business days for del...Read more
ivery (yes, this is in the FAQ at the bottom of the page) but this is too long for me so I cancelled the order. I will try another company before I give this lot another go: the smugness of the customer service representative, the confusion with regard to the delivery address and long delivery times. I suppose the one positive to come out of this was that during the phone call I was able to find out the long delivery time and was able to cancel the order. Also one very small quibble - only 30 characters for the gift card message - couldn't even fit in who the gift was from.1 comment

My second purchase from Cellarmasters was the. "Award winning mystery Shiraz"
As was the case with my previous effort...The product was as represented, at the best advertised price and was delivered to my home in Perth in four days.
The only negative was that on both occasions I did not order enough.

A good idea being destroyed by excessively "clever" marketing
This used to be a good option to purchase good wines and have them delivered reliably to your door. I have been a member since the 1990's when the Myer wine club was bought out by these clowns. It has been downhill ever since.
The latest marketing trick is to gouge further profits by reducing the number of bottles in a box from 12 to 10 while keeping the price either the same or slightly lower to appear attractive. Be in no doubt though the per bottle price has gone UP!.
Owned by Woolworths, most of the wine labels are owned by that compan...Read more

Hi Luigi,
Thank you so much for your feedback, I’m so sorry for the delay in getting back to you. ... Read more
We take pride in providing a wide range of wines to suit every budget, taste and requirement. The decision to introduce a selection of 10 bottle cases (+ a free premium bottle) has emerged as a result of a high demand from customers, many of whom have requested more cases of varying quantity. We understand that these sizes are not for everyone, and still have plenty of twelve bottle cases on offer for customers who would prefer a more traditional case size. While we do charge a modest handling fee of $1.20 per case (metro) or $1.40 per case (regional) on all orders placed with us, we would always prefer to be upfront with our customers about these costs, rather than hiding the fee within the price of the product. With that in mind, we understand your concerns and will be sure to pass your feedback on to our marketing team. Finally, we are very sorry to hear that you did not enjoy some of our wines. As we never want our members to be disappointed with their purchases, we do have a 100% Money Back Guarantee which covers members in any instance where they are not entirely satisfied with their order. For future reference, you are always welcome to contact us on 1800 500 260 (or email us at [email protected]) and one of our friendly Wine Advisors will endeavour to resolve your concerns. We hope this helps clarify your concerns. Once again, sorry for the late reply, we hope to hear from you soon. Cheers, CodieThank you at least for your reply.

Lamb and cabernet sauvignon ---is there a better match.
This wine came with tasting notes which had indicated cellaring for up to 10 years would reward me with a stunning wine ---they were right.
The notes recommended up to 2 hours resting in the decanter which we adhered to and what we got was a superb drinking red --the full-blooded,full bodied,generous wine the notes talked of with intense fruit characters had all settled into a superb wine that matched beautifully with our lamb meal.

Angela M.asked
I received a text saying my order was delivered but the wine was no where to be seen! Just wondering if anyone had the same experience.
4 answers
Does not surprise me at all. Had money taken from my account without my consent and no delivery for over a week.
I had exactly the same experience (I suspect they have done it to me twice - the first time I was overseas and so I didn't follow it up). They claim that they sent me a letter offering me their Wine of the Year and that if I didn't respond I was automatically charged for the purchase. Seriously poor form, and possibly illegal.
I cant leave fast enough too much push push wine so so. Very quick to get your cash. Not happy.
