I'm an American expat in the UK. You will very rarely find anything like BevMo in the UK or anywhere in Europe. Americans have a reputation abroad of doing everything bigger, louder, etc. Well BevMo you're an alcoholics dream. Fortunately for me who works in the industry, this is the perfect place to hit up when I want to introduce friends and family to my company's brands, especially those who rarely frequent bars.
While I have primarily been to East Valley locations on previous visits home, I am writing this review due to today's great experience. I am a bridesmaid for an upcoming wedding in Phoenix. However, since I'm over 5,000 miles away I will be missing out on the bachelorette weekend. Although I won't be present, I thought I would arrange the alcohol for the ladies.
First hurdle: BevMo's policy is that you cannot use a virtual credit card
Second hurdle: I needed to ensure that my cousin would be able to pick up the order on my behalf (because I'm on the other side of the world)
Third hurdle: I couldn't use my UK registered credit card on the BevMo website
After calling and emailing the store, and finally getting the BevMo website to cooperate, I was able to process the order. Chris at the Glendale store turned around my order within minutes and confirmed my cousin would be able to pick it up without any issues. Crisis averted.
Cheers BevMo!
