DO NOT ORDER FROM NEW ZEALAND
DO NOT ORDER FROM NEW ZEALAND! I ordered a couple of Advent calendars last Christmas. All together 50 small vials of whiskey and rum. I was prepared for the alcohol tax and duty fees, but Master of Malt forgot to mention that they listed all vials separately on the shipping list, and the shipping company charged a fee for each line item to process the import. The price of the 2 items was about 720 NZD, and the shipping bill came to a hefty 650.51 NZD! After a few email exchanges, they didn't take full responsibility for this mistake and gave me a gracious £100 contribution. Their product is great, but their customer service is extremely poor. I advised them to warn customers of this specific problem, but they do not seem to care much. I am disappointed and sad with their service.

Hi Krisztina - thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review of your experience.
I understand that receiving the bill for Customs clearance must have been quite the shock and I understand the points you have raised. Unfortunately, we do have to provide an export invoice for customs which details the contents of the parcel, and where the retail product contains multiple different items, these also need to be listed. Sadly, some Customs departments throughout the world apply an additional charge for multiple line items and we unfortunately aren’t able to predict when or where this might be applied.
In the past we have tried different ways of listing these contents, including grouping them as you have suggested. Unfortunately, this has proven tricky because it only works when the contents all have the same spirits classification (and therefore the same commodity code), ABV and country of origin.
I would encourage all of our customers to raise any potential issues at the time of occurrence, as we absolutely do care and will do everything possible to assist although we are somewhat tied to what is and isn’t accepted by Customs. That said, we are working with our couriers to find out if there is a way this can be done that is better for our customers.
I’m so sorry this experience was disappointing - please don’t hesitate to get in touch with our Customer Service team if you have any further questions.
Best wishes,
Jade

I’ve ordered a few times and the experience has always been been great. They have a good selection of alcohol. I didn’t notice that their glassware is really well priced, I’ve purchased a few times. When I ordered last time I made a mistake, emailed customer service and they came back to me very quickly and helped me out.

A wonderful selection of rums, spirits and fantastic customer service!
What can I say other than excellent variety, competitive prices, great offers and timely delivery. What makes Isabel and her team exceptional is their excellent customer service. There is no comparison and this is the place to go! I shall continue to remain a long standing supporter.

Hi Jim, thank you for taking the time to leave us this review.
I'm so sorry to hear that your order missed out on the offer price, we periodically run flash sales on some of our bottles so it may be that your order was placed just outside the offer window.
Could I ask that you forward the offer email received to hello@masterofmalt.com including your order number so that we can assist with this and ensure you don't miss out!

Does not honour cashback promise
Purchased through topcashback app and despite carefully following instructions to ensure commission was awarded, cashback was declined. Tried to get a reason but only received a blunt “declined”.

Hello Donald,
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a review.
I have taken a look into your order, and I can see it was delivered to you in Scotland within 3 days of ordering.
Sadly, the TopCashBack App is not something associated with ourselves, or in our control, it is a completely separate company that we have no involvement or activity in. That being said, our Customer Service Team are always more than happy to try our best to figure out what might have gone wrong along the way, even if it's not something we can prevent!
Unfortunately, I cannot see any phone calls, emails or live chat messages from yourself, so we were unaware of how this situation had made you feel. I am sorry that the service you received from Top Cash Back was not optimal, I completely understand how frustrating this can be!
If I can help with anything else at all, or if you wish to discuss this further, please do pop us an email at hello@masterofmalt.com.
I hope you have a lovely week!
Best Wishes,
Isabel - Customer Relations Advisor
