    A couple of years ago, while visiting family in Alberta, I stopped into a Liquor Depot in Edmonton…read moreto buy some wine. At the checkout, the POS terminal crashed mid-transaction. The clerk apologized and re-entered the transaction. It went through the second time. But I kept both receipts, just in case. Sure enough, when I got my MasterCard statement a few weeks later, I was billed for both transactions. Now back at home in Coquitlam, I sent an email to the manager at the Liquor Depot in Edmonton where I had shopped a few weeks earlier. I scanned and sent a copy of both receipts and my MasterCard statement. He replied within hours, apologizing again, and advising me that if I went to the nearby Coquitlam Liquor Depot location on Barnet Highway, I could get the refund processed on my MasterCard. So I went down there the next day. It was the first time I had ever walked into the place. As was I explaining the situation, the clerk politely interrupted me and said they were already expecting me. She again apologized for the bother, and processed the refund at once. What had just happened? Frankly, this level of customer service completely floored me! That was my "introduction" to the Liquor Depot on Barnet. I've since become a regular. The customer service has consistently been friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful without being pushy. Just one example: this past summer, we bought several bottles of an inexpensive table wine from the Okanagan. Two weeks ago, I had the idea to buy some more, but couldn't remember the name of the wine. Well, all I had to do was give the clerk a rough approximation of what I thought I remembered the name of the vineyard was, and she said, "Oh, yes, you mean this one right here...." Excellent service, but also very good prices, comparable to BC Liquor Store prices, and sometimes even lower when they have a promotion. Definitely better prices overall than other private liquor stores I've shopped. The general selection of wines is good, though not great (I focus on wines only because we don't drink a lot of beer or spirits). A lot of the same labels you see at BC Liquor Stores, but several others you don't, including one of our very favourite Oliver vineyards, Silver Sage (although, regrettably, a very limited selection from this wonderful winery). Parking isn't the greatest at this location, but I don't mind. We shop here regularly--definitely our favourite private liquor store!

    I have to say one thing just to get to the point: this place has a really great staff. They were so…read moreincredibly helpful, from needing to recycle boxes of bottles, to needing to location a list of wines and beers, they were just amazing. Also this place is not as busy as other places, so I suppose that's what makes it better.

    Dearest Emily and all the delightful staff at our favourite beverage store. You always have what…read morewe're looking for and at competitive prices. Best of all you have a point system tagged to the receipts and phone number. Well, it's always fun to ponder which of your prize boxes to stick the receipt in even though one might never dreaming of winning anything. You can only imagine my surprise when I was called to the phone to discover that not only had I won some bling that I'd proudly wear to the beach, nooo... just look at this beautiful prize that now is featured in our garden! Thank you so much and as always I have to say that your team is one of the friendliest and enthusiastic crowd in any retail store. It must be fun to work with you. Have a wonderful summer to all the gang! Nancy

    I had a good experience here buying a couple bottles of wine. I couldn't decide on which brand or…read morewhich bottle of wine I should buy. A young female staff who worked here greeted me politely and offered help to me. She introduced different bottles of wine to me. She was very patient and enthusiastic providing some recommendations to me. When I paid at the cashier, the same young female staff was very friendly and chatting with me about wine. I appreciate her help that made my buying experience better and easier. FYI - This was the first time I visited this small liquor store and I didn't expect to receive such a great customer service here.

    We dropped in last Saturday, about 11am, before heading to lunch in the area. I had wished to…read morecatch two or three of the 'specials' listed in their current flyer, which I had found tucked into Safeway's Friday flyer. A good idea I thought, decent prices on some grog I like, and we were heading nearby, via a car, so some easy shopping before lunch. Yeah, right ... no such luck!!! Two of the three products I was seeking were not on the shelves - the shelf cards indicated where the products should be, but the spots were empty. The third product was there, but was listed at full price!! Ok ... time to seek some staff assistance. After talking to the two staff persons, and getting the "we do not have, and do not know when we will have" crapola, I ended up accepting a 'rain check' for the two products they did not have - ignored the other, and we were out of there. Left to wonder - does getting these rain checks really help getting the actual products if/when they might come in? Seems all they could say was "call and ask". Thanks Safeway, I thought your liquor store was not for me when I went there the first time -- I know now those thoughts were on on-the-mark!!

    I've been buying my favourite wine here among many other beverages since the store first opened. I…read morerealize it has changed owners since. I went in a couple of days ago and bought my usual box of wine (no judgement please ;)). Unfortunately, it didn't taste right. Something was off. I tried to exchange it twice. First time the manager wasn't there, second time the manager refused to do anything for me. I'm out almost 60$. He told me to contact the winery and maybe they would replace it. He has lost a long time customer. I shop at the Safeway there at least once a week but will now take my business for alcoholic beverages else where. I understand that government liquor stores will take back products that are not right but private liquor stores are at the judgement of the manager. The odds buying a product like this is very slim but beware taking a chance here. Once he has your money, you are out of luck.
