TXNewDude Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 After reading your post this morning, I checked their website, and there it was... available to add to my shopping basket.I quickly placed an order, then waited to get the email. After waiting a few hours, I called and was informed that my order would not be filled, as they didn't have the item.A few minutes later, I got the cancellation notice.What's funny is, they didn't bother to update the inventory error, and it now shows available again.Same thing happened to me with the AECS with TW online. They actually called and said there's one in the system but they have to track it down. Few hours later, they never could find it so order cancelled. I still got an email to review my purchase ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccleve23 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I'm not sure if it's universal, but at the Total Wine stores in Maryland, that translates to "This was received and placed in inventory by a regular employee, but then a manager noticed they got some in and pulled it out of inventory to offer to on premise/other special clients/friends/family." Not trying to start another complaining session, just stating what I've found based on my experience with TW.I agree. I had this happen with ECBP I tried to purchase from them.

Maybe it went to "on premise/other special clients/friends/family"I tried three times to buy the ECBP from their website. They accepted my order each time then cancelled it a day later. Very annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't Reddit, or any of the other trading and selling sites. We don't allow posts advertising bottles for sale or trade. Even hinting, or kidding about trading or selling bottles here is frowned on.

kjbeggs Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 To make matters even worse, the Total Wine that cancelled my order told me a different location had some Cured Oak in stock.(It was actually the location I normally shop at, very close to my office). I gave them a call, and was initially told they would hold their lone bottle for me.Then I got a call from the manager who said it was behind the counter, but would go to the first person to ask for it.I was working from home (an hour away), so I called a coworker, who immediately went to pick it up.When she got there, the bottle behind the counter turned out to be CEHT Small Batch.I give up...

jeffrey r Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 When she got there, the bottle behind the counter turned out to be CEHT Small Batch.I give up...Unreal. At this point, I simply don't trust anyone or anything when it comes to this hobby. A store employee, a website, whatever. Not unless I am in a store, holding a bottle, do I feel that I will end up with anything limited.I am sure I won't see any of the Cured Oak. Several months ago, I came across three bottles of the EHT Barrel Proof 129pf. Fortunately, I bought two of the three bottles. Unfortunately, I didn't buy the third, and the next night, it was gone. Haven't seen a bottle since. It simply reinforced for me the buy all you can first, think about it later mantra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Black Tot Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 While it would have been good to find a bottle at MSRP, it was also pretty pleasant to sit this one out, in a way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrPeMi Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 The OLCC (Oregon Liquor Control Commission) price list for May was just posted, and it's on there. Price will be $73.40.I saw that, too. Not sure when it's going to actually show up in stores...The guy at the store I asked about it yesterday was kind of a d*ck towards me. All I wanted to know was if he knew whether that store was getting any...Time to camp out on the inventory search page... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDBourbon Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I thought I was going to get a bottle today. They were listed in inventory, I went to the store and no luck, all gone. I don't think I will see it as MSRP again, not in MD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackthedog Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) I showed up at two stores that showed it as in stock only to learn that they were special ordered and on hold. While somewhat frustrating to have made a trip, it was nice to see that at least special order items are not just handed out to whoever walks through the door. I think my area got two bottles that weren't special ordered. Edited April 23, 2015 by jackthedog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
