Good Afternoon

Glad to see you back altojack :T

Strange day today sorry it involves talking about work.

We all seemed to get behind preparing dinner and at one stage trying to do 5 jobs at once :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

But we managed it :j

Was tidying up after and fire alarm goes off so outside we all had to go and stand in cold tell we allowed back in luckily we finished just in time and I caught my bus .

Gets on bus coming home and regular drivers let me off half way up my street before he turns. New driver today I asked if I could please get off before he turned and :eek: he stops doesn't open door then goes off on one explaining the bus stop is around the corner halfway up the road .I tell him other drivers let me off here so I don't have to backtrack. He opened door and let me off but warned me he wont let me off there and next time I can walk back on myself :cool:

Hello, lovely Elite :wave:

Has anyone had any experience with Naked Wines?
I got an email offering me six bottles of wine for just the cost of postage, I can't help wondering what the catch is.
"Get these 6 delicious wines for just the cost of delivery, all we ask is that you rate them on your Naked Me page, and join the waiting list to become one of our 150,000 Angels on the inside."

OK....guys I need some advice on my mystery boxes...is Tiny around maybe...or anyothers who can advise.

They have arrived ....um not sure what to make of them..quite a lot of SB which is ok I can live with that ...2 bottles of prosecco in one of the cases and the value of 9 bottles in each case add up to £58.40 in one case and£70.50 in the other...so not bad for a £96 spend...

however...each case also contains 3 bottles of tesco finest curacao triple sec,A liqueaur I think...38% ...what do I do with that?...1 bottle could live with but 6.....very hard.

How do I return....does the whole cases go back to the store or just these 6 bottles.....and what do they offer in exchange.....looking on the websites Twine dont stock it but T.Com groceries do at £9 a bottle.

Any answers/suggestions gratefully received.....

I am glad you posted this, as it reminded me to phone about my order from last week.:)

I had three cases of white delivered and two of the boxes contained 3 bottles of Vermouth in each.

I wouldn't really class Vermouth as a wine and neither of us like it.. If there had only been a couple of bottles I wouldn't have minded.

So, I have just phoned up about it and spoke to a lovely lady. We both agreed that it is pot luck what comes in the boxes, but she said that 6 bottles of something that wasn't really a wine was not too good! (She said she didn't like it either!)
Anyhow, she has refunded me £20 and told me to give away the bottles of Vermouth to a charity or anyone that actually does like it.:):)

You've got gammon now though that's healthier:o

Lejc try ringing back and get someone else the chances of getting the same person are very slight hopefully you will get the lady squigs spoke to.

Is this the mystery white cases LEJC as I am surprised they are passing you off to the stores, as it was an online order and you have not received what you were expecting. If it isn't stocked by them how on earth did it get in the box. :eek:

Not often I agree with returning but you didn't get 12 wines in each box as expected regardless of the quality of the wines. I would ring them back why should you have to go in store.

Yep Tiny its was the mystery whites £48 per case and in my wisdom and in need of wine I ordered 2.

the triple sec isnt stocked by Twine but it is an instore product so I guess thats where the "return to store" came into it.....so I've just returned from the store.

Initially they wanted to just do a straight refund on the 2 boxes but I held my ground and said that I simply wouldn't have ordered 2 cases if I wasn't in need of wine and it wasnt my fault that whoever picked the wines decided to muddle in 6 bottles of spirit/liqueur....I politely told them I am usually more than happy with what I get and have never returned anything that was actually wine but I did consider something that was 38% to be a little more than wine.

They must have then taken pity on me and agreed it was unusual so offered me the refund of the cost of one of the cases in exchange for the6 bottles of triple sec back....so in all I got 18 bottles of wine for £48 and an afternoon out at the CS desk.

There are quite a lot of things in the box that I wouldn't have picked...and its all sauv blanc with the exception of 3 reslings and 2 bisol prosecco's .....but we can live with that!

not put me off..its the first time I've had something so unusual and not exactly wine and far too much of it for us to ever consider drinking(even slowly).
