HBC is usually 2 working days. Only used HBW once but it took maybe 5 days.

Depends where you are located in relation to the home brew shop but 3-4 days is normal unless you live in the same county as the home brew shop that is, then you should have it in 3 days or less

3 days max unless you placed order on a Thursday. Sometimes it's not the homebrew shop but the courier

99% of the time i have found it's all down to the courier TBH.

We try our best to offer a next day delivery service, all orders placed prior to 1pm will be dispatched on a next day service. The courier can delay some times but it is a rare occasion, we recently up graded our courier service to prevent this from happening.

Next day delivery is €5.95

We also have requested text alerts about deliveries for our customers

I haven't been in there in a while but it looks like they've upgraded their homebrew section

We have a bit of a backlog for the last week or so because a key staff member has had medical treatment and has been off work for 10 days. It was made worse by the runaway success of The Craft Range.

But he is back today, and we are all pitching in to get up to date with orders.

Apologies to anybody who has been inconvenienced, we will add free bottle openers to every order until we catch up.

thanks for the replys guys , will check out the shop in cork next time im in town ,good to see they have uped their game a bit,hopefully they are a bit cheeper than they were. i didnt name the company in question as it would have been unfair to them without giving them a chance to sort it out.but it still hasnt been sent out
edit to add
gave them a ring and its being sent today ,better late than never i guess.

just to add my order arrived today all safe and sound , the craftrange kit looks great nicely put together with good clear instructions .i didnt realise they were made in galway which is a good selling point . will be putting it on tonight if i get the time .

I was about to post on this very subject when I saw this thread. I won't name the HBS but I placed an order early last Thursday but it wasn't dispatched 'till Tuesday - Bank Hol or not that's just not good enough. If a HBS has increased sales they need to work faster and for longer hours and then they can enjoy their increased and well earned extra profits :

Unfortunately, I didn't get a free bottle opener with my order but I did get out of date product which the manufacturer has emailed me I should not use. Plus, the delay, in my case, has been repeated in all orders I've placed in the past 12 months. Our home based homebrew suppliers need to get the finger out rather than the excuses :

Also UK suppliers keep their website stocks updated on a weekly basis. :

Agreed, certain stores are poor on the occasion I've used. Placed an order on a Sunday eve, 7 days before my birthday as a present from my wife. Arrived 2 days after my bday. Total delivery time of 9 days.
