Reliable?

If you’re talking about cellaraiders.com, yeah, they’re great. Lots of good feedback in the “other” forum as well.

Not used them personally, but a local buddy has dealings with them all the time and is very happy.

Another vote of unqualified confidence in them; they are indeed great. Fully reliable to answer your question.

Thanks all.

I’ve purchased a few times from them. good feedback here. also they are based East Coast I think CT not LA as Wine Searcher says

Dealt with them many times. No problems. Always excellent service. I think it’s a small operation. The owner, Ben, is very easy to deal with.

Aren’t there 2 Cellar Raiders? I’ve dealt with Ben in NY and he’s great but the one in Cal is a different place and I know nothing about them.

This is the only one I know:

They’re based in CT, but as Suzanne said, they show up on Wine Searcher as “CA: Lafayette.” No idea why.

For those of us on the East Coast, that definitely cuts the shipping cost and time.

I just spoke to Ben the other day and placed my first order. He explained that he is located in CT, although his address is CA. He seems like a good guy, and he has a huge following.

Ordered some Bdx and Burgs from Ben/CR a couple/few of times. Very reliable, good prices and easy to deal with. I’d recommend them without hesitation.

Another endorsement from Ben. Not only good prices, but excellent customer service. Always super helpful and is very flexible with shipping too. His burg selection is dwindling a bit, but still some great wines there.

Thanks everyone. Placed my order for a few bottles. Very smooth thus far.
