Valrico Liquors

"Staff is always friendly and the store feels much nicer than before, hence the 3 stars. That said, the previous guy had a MUCH better bourbon selection. My biggest complaints are that I’m asked if I want to tip for them to scan a bar code. I was a server and bar tender for years and relied on tips, but we’ve gone too far down the rabbit hole with the tipping expectations. I also am pretty confident that my card got compromised here. It’s the only purchase I made in weeks and twice today I had multiple attempts at fraudulent transactions, but luckily Apple shut that down quickly otherwise I’d be out a few grand in charges for a rental car and hotel stay. Ironically they are closed today and tomorrow (since when do liquor stores have full days closed?). Needless to say I won’t be back since they don’t take cash, don’t have even a remotely decent bourbon selection, and I’m expected to tip for them just doing their job."

"Very disappointed. Not only was their a limited selection - they said I get 5% off if I give them my email. So I did. Then when they rang me up I said I don’t see the 5% off. They said oh our system just doesn’t itemize it. It comes off the total. So I said ok. Then I said well where my receipt? They won’t give a paper receipt. Only email or text receipts. The receipt didn’t come through until about 20 min later and when looking at it. I never got a discount. I was charged full price for everything. Basically just a scam to get my email Information. That’s besides the limited selection and being out of stock on basic mixing items. Prices were higher than other stores. LiquorSplit you owe me $4.28 for my 5% off!"

"I’m not sure why there are four stars for this place. Maybe it’s from people that never been to the place it replaced which actually had a very nice selection of beers, wines and liquors. I can’t even find German beer in this place. It’s unbelievable ridiculous and I still feel like I’m buying stuff that’s been on the shelf for 10 years on clearance. Prices also very high. Go to Publix or Total Wine/ABC for best experience."

"The pros: delivery The cons: price. Selection. If you go into the store the staff is completely clueless on alcohol. They don’t know liquors by brand. They didn’t even know the difference between proof and alcohol content. While in the store multiple people came in and left without buying because of the issues I mentioned. It’s a bummer. I have a feeling they won’t be there long."

"LOVED the service at Liquorsplit! You have a personalized service with knowledgeable people who will help you find exactly what you want to make the perfect drink. Amazing white glove service. The only thing criticism I can render is the art work and catch phrase seems like it was dreamt up by 14 year old boy and doesn’t fit with the white glove service you receive at the store. However, I also was pleasantly surprised that I don’t even have to go into the store, they would deliver to me for only $2.99. Freaking amazing since I hate to have to go out if I don’t have to! White glove service to you door is awesome!"
