I called Path Liquors in Coram, NY on Wednesday December 28, 2016 and spoke with a young lady. I asked her if they had a local wine from Osprey's Dominion Vineyards - the Semi-Dry Riesling and she said yes. I then asked how much per bottle and she told me $11.99. I thought that was a great price since I shop there a lot and they do have the best prices.
So, I decided to go there to pick up 6 bottles. I also have a competitor's coupon for 15% off which they do honor. I go find the wine and the price shows $16.99 per bottle... Definitely NOT what I was quoted over the phone.
I asked about the price when I got to the register and explained to the girl that I was quoted the $11.99 per bottle over the phone. Then I heard a women in the background saying that she looked up the wrong wine and was sorry.
I would think that because I was looking to purchase 6 bottles that she would have honored the price. But, NO! I ended up purchasing 3 bottles and used the 15% off coupon. I could have gone to the winery and picked up the 1/2 case ($17.00 per bottle) and received a higher discount then I received from Path Liquors.
Definitely NOT a great way to do business. Again, they should have honored the $11.99 per bottle that I was quoted over the phone. read more
