So far I have only drunk one of the beers in the package (Moor Revival), and I must say that it is absolutely delicious, and I look forward to making my way through the rest of the delivery over the next few weeks.
However, getting delivery of the beers was a nightmare.
On the evening of Fri 29 Aug, I received a text from City Link saying they would be delivered between 07.30 and 17.30 on Mon 1 Sept. It was too late for me to arrange time off work to be at home all day, so I resigned myself to a failed delivery and having to collect from the depot. At the time, I thought they had a depot in York, so that wouldn't be too difficult. On returning home on the evening of the 1st, there was no evidence that thay had called, so it was just as well that I hadn't stayed in all day waiting.
On the morning of Tue 2nd, I got a text saying they would deliver between 11.21 and 13.21 that day. Again, too late to arrange to be at home, so I again expected a card through the letterbox, and this time there was one, saying they would attempt another delivery tomorrow, and if that failed, I would have to collect from the depot, not in York, but in Leeming Bar, 36 miles away!
On the morning of the 3rd, I got a text saying they would deliver between 13.32 and 15.32. This time, I was able to get the afternoon off, so waited at home for the delivery. A City Link van drove past my house at 14.20 without stopping, and I waited in for the rest of the afternoon, but no delivery was made.
I would not have considered driving specially to the depot to collect, as the cost of petrol (amd time) would just not be worth it, but luckily I was passing Leeming Bar on the A1 on 10 Sept, and I was able to finally collect my beers.
When I got home and opened the box, I found that one bottle was broken.
So, although I look forward to drinking the beers, I don't think I'll be ordering online again.
