Online order
Hello,
It is very sad that I have to report this. But I did have huge problems with the delivery of my online orders. I will try to point it out for you.
Monday 26 Feb, I did my first online order and on the website the suggested delivery day was on Wednesday.
As soon as I payed and received the email, the estimate deliver day would be on Thursday.
Tuesday 27 Feb, I contacted by chat a Liquorland employee and told that I wouldn’t be at home on Thursday morning. But delivery would be fine on Thursday afternoon. That person told me when I asked for leave a note (not at home in the morning or give me call before) for the driver, that it wasn’t a guarantee that it would be read. That person on the chat didn’t help me at that moment at all. So it was surprising that someone gave me a phone call later on Tuesday and told me that delivery on Thursday afternoon shouldn’t be a problem.
Wednesday 28 Feb, I received an email that the order was hand over to AusPost and the estimated delivery date was 29 Feb/1March. So Thursday or Friday.
So far still fine.
Friday 1 March, I contacted by chat a staff member again. A really nice friendly person. He suggested me to wait a bit and hoped that my order still would be delivered.
After that I contacted AusPost by myself and found out that the order wouldn’t be delivered on Friday and neither on Saturday or Sunday.
Again I contacted Liquorland by app. They felt sorry for me and suggested to recall the order [protected] from Mon 26 Feb and making a new order with express delivery. And again he helped me through all those steps. With express delivery it should be there in 2 hours. I placed that order at 6 pm.
Friday 1 March at 8 pm I contacted the chat again. And that person contacted the shop. They found out that one of the wine boxes I’ve ordered wasn’t in stock. That’s two hours later. And nobody contacted me. That chat-person (what wasn’t really helpful) suggested to wait …….. they would sent me a text message as the order was ready to deliver.
15 minutes later still no text message received. And again he contacted the store. And he wasn't nice to me. I paid already $1100 and hadn't received any bottle. We skipped dinner tonight as we had to stay at home, waiting for the delivery.
Still Friday 1 March at 9.23 we called the local store in Pyrmont. Got the name of the shop from the chat employee.
That shop employee told us the order was to big for Uber Eat and nobody would be able to bring that order to us.
But then at 9.52 PM I’ve received an email that the order was on its way. On 10.04 PM a message that she has arrived. Unfortunately not on the right place. But we managed it to collect our delivery.
At 10.22 my husband had collected the boxes.
By checking we are missing a total of 8 bottles. As it was after 9 pm, I couldn’t contact anyone to give notice of the missing bottles.
Saturday 2 March, I contacted by phone [protected], and gave notice about the not completed delivered order. I asked to refund the money as soon as possible. And also asked for text message to confirm the refund. The guy on the phone would do that. And it came, 45 minutes later.
How much more can go wrong with a first online order at Liquorland?
I’m very disappointed about the service Liquorland has. And will never do an online order with them. Now waiting and hoping my money will be refund fast.
LiquorLand Australia Complaints 121
Customer service
I was on my way home from work and entered the drive thru bottle shop on foot. I approached the counter and asked for a 6 pack. A worker named Alana asked me for my ID which was understandable, I began to explain that I had lost my ID previously before but I have my id and digital ID keypads on my phone. She was rude and abrupt and cut me off. With condescending words she rudely told me that I won’t be served without ID and told me to exit the bottle shop. Using derogatory words and had such rude service. I was so shocked by this. Although I understand they will not serve me without ID, I believe she could have been more understanding and use more caring and cautious words. Everyone else I have met that works in this store is so lovely and great customer service. I was truly disappointed by her use of words and attitude
Desired outcome: I would like an apology from this employee and I believe she should have to review her customer service skills by speaking with her higher ups (manager and HR)
Rude staff member and refusal of service
I want to make a formal complaint about the manager at Liquorland Kings Cross. I have had 2 run ins with this very rude individual, which is a shame as all of the other staff at the store are very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately I do not know his name but he was referred to as "the boss" by another member of staff. I wish that I had made a complaint...

On Wed 4th Oct 2023 at approximately 2 pm i attended my local Liquor land located in Fairfield shopping centre 4811 in order to purchase an 8 pack of beer.

Denied purchase from shopkeeper
On the 2/10/2023 at approximately 11.am my son went into Liquor land to purchase one (six pack) Jim beam and coke. The shop assistant asked to see his ID and then denied him service. My son was surprised and said ok and quietly left the store. When my son returned home, I asked him where was his six pack and he said the shop assistant said she would not...
Read full review of LiquorLand AustraliaServer named john from liqourland ingleburn nsw 2565
He asked if I was intoxicated (which I was not, I am an amputee who sometimes feels pain when I walk) humiliating me in front of other customers. Then weeks later when I ran into him at the store again, I ignored him but he deliberately drew my attention to him and I told him that after the offence he caused me of accusing me of being intoxicated in front of other customers when I was not, I did not want to exchange pleasantries with him. Not the exact words but I was respectful. This happened on Saturday afternoon at around 12.30pm-1.30pm on 17 June 2023. After I basically told him that I do not want anything to do with him, he started shouting very loudly at my retreating back as I was leaving the store, "You were drunk! You were drunk" even though I was not and I do not know how many more people witnessed his harassment of me AGAIN. There was another male server who witnessed the whole thing. He was the one who was serving me as I ignored JOHN until he forced my attention onto him, which is when I told him that after the way he had humiliated me in front of other customers, I did not want to chit-chat with him. The other male server who witness the whole thing was in his twenties, dark hair and beard. I did not notice his name. JOHN is a self-righteous bully with no bedside manner.
He then started shouting at me at the top of his voice as I was leaving "You were drunk! You were drunk!" I do not know how many customers were witnessed his harassment of me AGAIN.
He was using his position as a tool of harassment and ridicule. At the start when I started using Liqourland Ingleburn and I would turn up again a day or two after the previous day/s he would say loudly in front of other customers, "Again?" I had no idea that Liqourland employed such self-righteous and patronizing idiots. I'm an adult I do not need his approval or permission to buy alcohol.
Desired outcome: Train him to be respectful and discreet. People do not go to Liqourland to be humiliated in front of other customers by self-righteous and petty-minded little people.
Service Liquorland North Ward Townsville
Liquorland North Ward in the Coles shopping centre.
Some of your workers need to have a bit of respect for customers. My parents were 2 of the (quite a few) people waiting in line to be served when a couple of your staff members (in Liquorland uniforms) decided to enter the store and physically push the young bloke working behind the counter out of the way to serve themselves first. Loud, rowdy, rude and obviously had been drinking.
Note to them: If you aren’t working, get in line like everybody else and have some respect and consideration for the young bloke who was left handling the not happy customers 🤬
Desired outcome: One of them was the manager, ongoing issues with 2 of these blokes. Get a new manager that respects customers and people in general.
Disgusting behaviour/service
Hi
I am a regular shopper at Liquorland North Ward. I have always been a bit shocked at the crude language and behavior of a couple of the staff members that work there, but was shocked at the behavior that I have witnessed more recently.
Clay and Brad were talking and yelling out to each other about “dick sizes” and wanting “wet pussies” while myself and another shopper were at the counter being served. The shock on the faces of the young blokes serving me was utter shock and disbelief.
I am in my 50s and no prude, but Clay and Brad are disgusting. My wife and adult daughters (and their friends) avoid the shop if either of them are there.
They ask for girls numbers and make lewd comments, it's sexual harassment! I have made it clear that their behavior is not acceptable and was told by Clay that “The Seaview is across the road” inferring that I can shop elsewhere if I don’t like it.
I hope that someone takes note and talks to the young lads and Jake about what they witness in store.
It's disgraceful.
I have sent Facebook messages to both Coles and Liquorland and have not received a reply.
Regards Greg
Desired outcome: Its bad enough they should both be replaced. They definitely should not be managing young workers.
Liquor
Hi Sonja here I ordered on the 31 dec for delivery received everything but 2 x 2 litre bottles of sprite Uber delivered it rang Liquorland and lady I spoke to told me to come and pick it up which of course defeats purpose of getting it delivered also don't have car was told to complain to Uber when it was your store that packed it before it was delivered was told to reorder and spent a further $27 on getting delivered. Went through another store for fear would not receive it will no longer be ordering through Liquorland on line pacific pines store was the store it came from I spent $95-$100 in total for everything I ordered. I would like compensation for this, attached is the order I made. Ordered Through my boyfriend tye Uber account.
Desired outcome: Refund
Staff drinking
I shopped in LL in the Coles complex in North Ward (Townsville) both 23rd and 24th December. 2 senior staff members walking around drinking coffee cups full of alcohol while the other 3 ran around after customers. Crude jokes, ignoring customers, loud inappropriate music etc. The one I was closer to smelled of beer and handed his cup to the other one after being asked if he needed a top up. Said cup was then taken to the cold room for a too up. I’m not opposed to staff having a drink but these 2 took it too far and had obviously been drinking all shift. Store was very busy and they hindered instead of helped. One of the regulars inline said one of them was the manager. (Clay and Brad) As a retail manager myself, I was both shocked and disgusted by their behaviour. Regards
Desired outcome: Retrain them on coles policy and RSA

Hi I went to liquorland Port Lincoln south Australian the 19/11/22
My 17 year old son was with me as he had only got his licence 2 days earlier and was driving everywhere.we entered the store so I could purchase myself sone scotch and dry cans as I placed the item on the counter the guy serving looked at my son who is 17 and asked him for ID. I replied that he does not have to show I’d as he is only 17 and I am purchasing the product for myself.he asked for I’d again and I again replied that it’s nothing to do with him he then made the accusation that I was possibly supplying alcohol to a minor I then asked my son to leave the store and he still refused to serve me even after I reminded him that I am 52 YEARS OLD
I left the store in absolute disgust with this kind of treatment as I was waiting for my son to drive out of the parking lot I observed 2 other people enter with minors and be served.
When I arrived home I rang the store to talk to the manager to discuss this situation I was informed she wouldn’t be there until Sunday morning.so I went back on Sunday morning to talk to the manager and sh said she new nothing about it so I explained what had happened she said that she would speak to the worker and I asked her to contact me back . I left my name and number with her and have NOT heard a thing back I find this to be very rude and arrogant.
I have been a working single parent for 8years and everywhere I go my kids come with me
Desired outcome: I would like an apology to me and my son from the particular worker for assuming/accusing me of supplying alcohol to minor

HOW DARE you treat your customers with such little respect.!

Worker
To whom it may concern,
A worker named Rodin approached me and pointed to an empty can of alcohol and said “you can’t drink this in here.” I wasn’t drinking out of the can. I then stated that “the can was empty.” He said, “it doesn’t matter.” I asked him where the bin was and he said “go and find it outside.”
I believe his communication was unprofessional, he was rude and it made me feel highly uncomfortable. Liquorland lost a purchase from me. I then called liquorland in marsden park to make a complaint and as I was talking on the phone, the worker was laughing at the start of the conversation.
This has not been taken seriously and I feel like this be taken beyond.
Desired outcome: Rodin should improve his customer service. He should have a training course regarding communication.
Problem with Delivery
I ordered a special bottle of Barolo red wine for my sister's 70th birthday and paid extra for express delivery so that it would arrive on time. Startrak tried delivering it at 10pm and again at 7.30pm the next day but did not leave a card on either occasion. I am travelling overseas, so sent the email details to my sister who spent and inordinate amount of time to customer service, the result is she's had to accept a voucher instead, and the special $100 bottle of wine is only by special order, so she will have to make do with an ordinary bottle of champagne which defeats the spirit of the gift..ageing like a fine wine.
I paid for packaging and a card as well as express postage.
Desired outcome: I would like to be refunded the extra costs incurred and be provided compensation for the disappointment caused by not being able to provide and deliver that which I ordered.
ID
Why is a valid firearm and High risk license not accepted as Identification I was knocked back a purchase because I didn’t have my drivers license on me, yet I had two license’ harder to get than a drivers license! And I was refused for that? I think that is absolutely horrible service, mind you I am 24 years old I work full time al I wanted to do was get a bottle of wine and relax and I was knocked back because there’s I’d cards wernt accepted. Not happy and never shopping at liquorland again.
Desired outcome: I want an apology from the employee at Eaton liquorland 6-10-22
Unprofessional and discourteous customer service.
Friday 23/09/2022 approximately 6.40pm
I had gone to Liquorland Park Ridge, Brisbane 4118 to purchase alcohol. As I approached the counter to purchase, the worker at the time asked for ID. I had no problems with it however left my wallet at home and stated that I have photos of my Australian passport and Australian qld license. She stated that this was not acceptable. I walked out empty handed, as I was walking out, I didn’t hear the lady behind me get asked for ID? I returned to the store to question why she didn’t have to provide ID? The worker aggressively yelled “because she is old”. I felt underprivileged, being an honest taxpaying citizen of Australia, also working for the government and to be yelled at and not served rightfully with a bit of respect is unacceptable. She then carried on swearing and cussing saying “that’s the thing with you buggers, you overplay the race card? And had told me to F off. Her name was Nikki and she needs to be accountable for this wrecked behaviour. I am now being forced to deal with this mentally.
Desired outcome: To avoid further actions, I’d reconsider this person Nikki’s employment as i wouldn’t want any other hardworking citizen of Australia to experience the mental problems I have now.
Service
I am a lady of 63 years old; I was refused the purchase of products because my daughter who was accompanying, took the bottles from the trolley to place them on the counter, while O was taking my purse from my bag. My daughter is 26 , and the woman at the counter said that she does not look 25; she had all her ID on her phone, but this was not accepted ; she refused to have a look at my ID; I had no option that to walk out, based just on wrong perception on the part of the salesperson- that was frustrating ! Never more - Liquorland!
Desired outcome: What if I come back to prove that you were wrong, would you give me the products free for the disturbance?!
Terrible experience and Delivery
On 30 June 2022 we have ordered 2 cases of wine online to be delivered. No wine was delivered until 5 July I got the message from Liquorland, said the wine is on its way and expected to arrive on 7 July. No wine was delivered on 7th of July. On 11 July we got message again and said the wine was on it's way be delivered that morning. I have opened front door of my house and we was waiting in the lounge area where I can see the front door and is directly connected to the front door. But at lunch time we got message to collect the wine in local Austpost! Then I called Liquorland and explained what happened - I can't drive to pick up the 2 cases of wine from the Austpost. I was told they would organize a redelivery. Till now after 20 days of my ordering I still haven't got the delivery!
We ordered the wine online in order to get the delivery because my partner was sick then and couldn't go to the shop.
For 20 days till now we still didn't get the delivery, I still had to walk to go to the local shop to buy wine by bottles.
Very disappointing!

Desired outcome: First Please deliver the wine ASAP. Offer us compensation for the stress caused and the time we have spent on this.No apology. I heard the apology already when I called Liquorland on 11 of July 2022.
