ABC Fine Wine & Spirits (HQ) Reviews (%countItem)

Company fails to honor their sale price. I was overcharged by $4.00 on this item.
Purchased a bottle of Pucketts Branch Rye on 2/5/2020 at the Sebring FL ABC store. I was charged $23.99 rather than the advertised price of $19.99. Company has been unresponsive and unconcerned, so I assume this is a regular practice.

Desired Outcome

A letter of explanation, a written apology from their CEO, and a corporate check in the amount of $4.00.

Received check in the amount of $4.00 to cover the overcharge along with a letter of apology from the owner, Charles B.

Appreciated the acknowledgement of the issue by senior management and quick resolution.

Rewards program not honored
I have been frequenting the ABC liquor store in Seminole, Florida for a couple years now. The representative of that store sold me on the Rewards program..so I signed up. Every once in a while, the clerk would tell me that I have $3 or whatever amount it was, that I could apply to my purchase. However..they changed their program and now I supposed to get coupons emailed to me. They have my correct email.

I have called them a minimum of 12-15 times. Left messages..written and verbal, and yet, no response. The young lady at the store I frequent made an attempt to call her own contact, and they assured her that they would call me. That was a month ago. Never received a call. At this present time, I have accumulated over 11,000 points that should have resulted in several dollars of savings.

This seems like a insane request to actually submit a claim with the Revdex.com. However...ABC advertises and pushes this program to keep you buying from them. Well..that is false advertising. Especially considering the absence of feedback that I have received from the guest services division of ABC. Speaking with the managers in the local Seminole store, they state that they have heard this complaint several times from other customers. They however are powerless to do anything except sympathize with the customer and TRY and help them. But corporate is unresponsive. If they cannot facilitate the program and run it with the customer in mind, then either shut it down or address the customer when they need help.

Desired Outcome

It's simple. A call from the ABC company to address and straighten out the situation would normally suffice. I'll let ABC figure out what my time is worth. Making numerous attempts to contact them. Talking with the store on repeated occasions. Filing a darn Revdex.com report which is ludicrous for such an easy issue. Drawing me in to a store under false advertising of rewards. I'll let THEM figure out what that is worth to them.

Good Morning *** and thank you and the Revdex.com for giving us the opportunity to address this complaint from our guest regarding our rewards program. I have copied the GM and RM who Manage the area the Seminole store is in so they may look into it.

Customer Response • Jan 29, 2020

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
When I signed up...I did so through the Seminole store. When I was not receiving any emails...and after repeated UN-returned calls to ABC Quest services, Ilogged on to ABC and entered all my information that the rewards program requested. I figured that maybe I had to establish an account. Well...all that happened was, I added a 2nd account. However...I still was not receiving emails.

The day that I filed this case, I had also left a message for ABC quest services...and within 2 days, they had merged the two accounts into one. However...I had over 11.000 points as of 2 months ago...and I have accumulated many more since. When ABC merged the two accounts...they started me off with ZERO points! Therefore...any rewards I have earned are erased. I called the Seminole store to have her look it up on her computer..and she reaffirmed that my account was zeroed out. She took my information and was going to attempt to get a hold of Guest Services...but they have not had much success in the past. I feel bad for the store in Seminole...as they are really great representatives..but their hands are tied. Therefore,,the 1st phase of merging the accounts has been accomplished...but they have taken away all the points I've earned.

The marketing manager, Sean K was nice enough to call today and we were able to correct the situation amicably. He was very professional, explained their error, apologized and offered to cover the points with a gift card. Thank you Sean for reaching out to me. I will remain a satisfied customer of ABC.

Order has not been received. Attempts to reach vendor have been unsuccessful.
An E-gift card in the amount of $75.00 was purchased with an American Express card on November 29, 2019. An E-receipt was issued with order number ***. The recipient email address is ***@gmail.com; the e-gift was never received. On December 1, an online customer service form was submitted; no reply. On December 2 and 3 the customer service line was called (866-***-***). Both calls were put on hold for 15 minutes and then automatically went to voicemail. On December 2 a message was left stating problem, contact info, order number but no reply has been received. On December 3 I disconnected when sent to voicemail.

Desired Outcome

I would like the American Express card used for the purchase to be refunded $75.00.

ABC Fine Wine & Spirits (HQ) Response • Dec 12, 2019

The guest's credit card has been refunded. We identified the problem and traced it back to a typo in the email entered to send the eGift. Honest mistake. We're happy to credit the account as of 12/11. Jacki, we sincerely apologize for so much confusion and delay in figuring out what occurred. We certainly did not intend to give you a bad experience.

Thank you for refunding my card, as requested. The response is appreciated; it was probably an honest mistake. It would have been resolved more efficiently, and a 'bad experience' would have been avoided, if customer service returned requests via phone and email. Given that they have not reached out personally, it's likely this is only happening as a result of opening this inquiry.

Multiple Locations Engaged in Deceptive & Fraudulent Business Practices
The Revdex.com has not responded when I filed a complaint approx. two weeks ago regarding this business??? This business advertises products on sale which then ring up at their regular prices and not the sale price. I live in *** and I purchase the same cigars on a regular basis. Twice I have been overcharged when the item is on sale. The third, forth and fifth time I caught the overcharge and brought it to their attention each time. Still none of the employees of that *** location did anything to stop their overcharging. The fifth time this happened I again questioned the employee why this was allowed to continue and the employee stated " well most people who come in here are drunk and don't catch it". I thought that statement was so inappropriate I came home and filed a complaint. But I never heard back from the Revdex.com regarding the complaint I filed?? I am resubmitting my complaint again because today the same thing happened in the North Fort Myers store. I purchased two different tins of cigars, both on sale and was charged the regular price. It is apparent that ABC is encouraging their stores to exercise a deceptive and fraudulent practice to put up sale notices but not make adjustments to the price the register is ringing up. I am also considering submitting a complaint along with the receipts to the AG's office. This is obviously a known practice to this retailer.

Desired Outcome

This store has overcharged me on the first two occasions I purchased an item advertised as being on sale. They owe me the difference between the sale price and what I was fraudulently charged.. This company also needs to cease this deceptive and illegal practice of advertising items and charging full price. This company needs to follow up with the employee who advised me that the company overcharges because "most people who come into the store are drunk and don't catch it". That is a terrible statement for an employee to make and acknowledges they know of this ongoing fraudulent practice.

ABC Fine Wine & Spirits (HQ) Response • Aug 16, 2019

Under typical circumstances, if and when a price tag is accidently outdated or incorrect, our team members gladly work with guests who encounter an issue to make sure they are treated fairly.

In the case referenced here, the guest was charged the accurate price. A review of the price tag did not show anything inaccurate or a discrepancy, therefore no change was necessary. A follow-up review of the price tag confirmed there was no issue.

We standby the performance of our team members and believe the accusations in the complaint range from inaccurate to untrue, thus unfairly targeting our team members and store.

At this time, we have not been provided a reason to respond differently. No receipts or images have been given to us and since the guest did not use a Rewards member ID, there is no way to check the transaction history. When and if that happens, we will investigate further and take appropriate steps.

As always, we want to provide the best experience possible in our stores. Any guest who sees a price tag that is not reflected the same as the price charged at the register, should make us aware and we will address it appropriately and fairly. We never intend to make mistakes but will admit them when we do and get it corrected.

Customer Response • Aug 16, 2019

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
All purchases were made using my rewards number (reference phone number 415.***) their statement is false. Secondly the displayed price tag on the last occasion stated $14.95, the item rang up at $15.98 and that is what I was charged despite the displayed price. Thirdly, I do have most all the receipts they are currently in possession of my attorney and do include receipts from the North Ft. Myers location showing the initial purchase and the refund of the overcharge. Lastly, I was promised on multiple occasions that I would be contacted by the district manager and never was contacted by any representative of this company at any time.

This complaint is due to improper sales procedure and POOR SERVICE. Also lack of management responding to my many complaints
On December 15 I purchase a product via there website . After the purchase I received and email that state did I had FIVE days to go and retrieve the product and if not , it would Be refunded and returned. That was a Saturday. While at work , Tuesday, December the 18th I received a voicemail from the local OCALA store stating "please give us a call and tell us when you will be coming to pick up the product or it will be returned." No more than 2 hours later I got an email to my phone stating they had ALREADY RETURNED MY PRODCUT AND REFUDNED MY MONEY. When I got off from work by 4pm, I called and spoke to the manger who told me her name was "almanda ", she stated " well we say we're gonna refund because we don't want things sitting around now our store " of course I replied " so you're you make up your own rules and you do not ambidextrous by your email which I still have saved that states I have 5 days?" She then very rudely SCREAMS "well just tell me you're coming ma'am!" I gin seed her what the policy was since obviously it's not what I received. She cut me off and continued to yell just tell me when you're coming . . I ended that call and immediately phone customer service at 4074507509.I called and left several messages to have HER REGIONAL SUPERVISOR CALL ME AND NO ONE HAS CONTACT ME TO DATE, I don't know what type of circus people ABC HIRES BUT FIRST THING YOU DID WRING WAS TAKING MY MONEY FROM MY ACCOUNT THEN REFUNDING IT WITHOUT MY CONSENT , which left me with no product and No refund since it takes several days up to a week for my money to be given back to me which is VERY INCONVENIENT. SECOND THE WAY YOUR SO CALLED MANAGER SPOKE TO ME NEEDS AND WILL BE ADDRESSED. Why she choose to attack me when YOU are wrong I have no idea. Thirdly, why was I told that someone will contact me and no one has. I want to be contacted ASAP.

Desired Outcome

I want the mangers regional manager to contact and explain why their manager spoke to me this way and why she took matters into her own hands and cancelled my order. She did not adhere to what YOU sent me .

Thank you for letting us know about this service issue. Although guest does not give the address of the Ocala store, she does give a manager's name so by this the General Manager, Mr. H, and the Regional Manager Heather Marques should be able to locate the person involved. Please be assured we will investigate, address this with our store manager, and get back with this guest.

My name is Alva R, a customer who walked into abc liquors located on 3097 curryford rd in Orlando Florida on Thursday , August 2, 2018 around noon. I'm upset because I was refused service. I'm pretty sure I was racially profiled and was neglected service. The manager claimed it was because my I'd was from another state. It shouldn't matter what state I'm from if I meet requirements people do travel. I was offended and asked for his stores number but out of sarcasm he told me it was 1. I didn't yell nor did I disrespect. I left ashamed and thought this should be reported I've never been so embarrassed in my life. I seek for justice and will not stop until it is served.

I called ahead and was told that ABC would match the prices of ***. According to my receipt they did not do that.
I called ABC in Melbourne, Fl and was told that they would match the advertised price of ***. When my husband went to purchase the products on 1/30 he brought the ad, however, they did not match the price. On 1/30 I called back and spoke to Sohan and he told me to bring the receipt and they would make the price adjustment. My husband went back the next day and he was told they will do what was promised. I called corporate and left a message and Leo called me back. He told me to scan my receipt and the ad and on 2/2 I sent him an email (***) with the requested information. The email went through and I have never heard back from him. I have since left 2 messages and have never received a return call. The difference from what they charged and what they promised is $6.42. This is ridiculous and horrible customer service. They lied and do not respond back to the customer.

Desired Outcome

I expect the credit of $6.42 that was promised plus for all my inconvenience I would expect an additional customer credit. At this point I will never go to an ABC or recommend it to anyone since they didn't tell the truth and they don't care about their customers.

This report from the Store Manager Julio L: This issue has been taken care of, since the guest was contacted and offered a $25 Gift Card which was accepted by the Guest.

Customer Response • Mar 09, 2018

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
I spoke to Julio and he apologized and told me he would send the $7 that was owed to me plus a $25 gift card for my inconvenience. That was on 2/21. As of today, 3/9 I still have not received anything from him that he promised. I trusted that he was going to do what he said, however, he lied to me.

I don't know why ABC Fine Wines and Spirits makes false statements. First, even though they said that would match another's advertised price they did not do that and next after speaking with Julio (someone in management) who told me he was going to send me my $7 and a $25 gift card and I have never received anything from the company.

I have wasted a lot of time and have lost all faith in this company to do what they say they will do. There are many other stores that sell fine wines and spirits and unless ABC makes good on their promises I will be shopping at their competitors.

Leah and ***-

Thank you for your email. Today I did receive a phone message from Leo explaining what was done. I have checked my credit card statement and do see the $50 credit.

All of this could have been resolved much earlier, however, today is the first phone message I have received. Since I originally contacted Leo through email I was expecting an email back.

Thank you to both ABC and Revdex.com for your support in resolving this issue.
