Tippsy offers a wide variety of sakes, and I think that is great. When I ordered, the delivery date was provided and a signature was going to be required, both of which made us glad that we had ordered from Tippsy. We made plans to be home on that day, and we were glad that the local porch bandits would be denied our delivery. However, the delivery came a couple of days early. It was lucky that we were home for it, had we not the package probably would have been returned to the depot and been tried again the following day. I appreciate that Tippsy made the effort to deliver as soon as humanly possible, but I appreciate more that things happen as promised, scheduled or whatever. Tippsy failed to notify us of the rescheduled delivery date, so aside from being lucky to be at home that day, we were surprised as well. Had the sake been returned to the depot, it might very well have spent the night in a hot environment followed by a second or possibly third day bouncing around on the delivery truck. I apologize for this rather negative review. Also, much of this could possibly been avoided if we had known who the delivery service was. We tried the tracking number provided with every one that we could think of.
