Hey all - I know Belgium in a Box is the preferred online outlet to buy beer, but does anyone have experience with Beer Planet? What are the other sites? thanks, Jeremy
I stopped by the Beer Planet store in Brussels a few weeks back and was able to combine beers that we purchased at that store with a couple that they only offered through the website. This was a nice option, as their warehouses are separate but they were kind enough to ship everything together. Shipment was packaged quite well and received maybe two weeks from the order date by my brother-in-law on the east coast. So I had a great experience and would definitely use them again for larger orders, as the international shipping rates can be pretty expensive per bottle on smaller shipments.
I've recently used 2 sites to ship some Begian and other beers to the UK : http://www.belgianbeerfactory.com/best-belgium/?f=2130,&scroll=400 Very competitive prices and best shipping prices. Took a little while to arrive but all were in perfect condition. Also : http://www.beergium.com/en/ Great broad selection of beers from around the world not just Belgian, very quick delivery with great packaging, very user friendly web page linking in ratings with beers etc. Would recommend both of these based on this.
Seems Beergium doesn't ship to the US, that Belgiumbeerfactory site seems quite expensive. I sometimes order from http://www.bieresgourmet.be/catalog/ some of their stuff is quite affordable, some not, but they always have great packaging and fast shipping.
I have ordered from them a few times. Every time they deliver within two weeks. Also, they're the only ones who use heavy staples to seal the box, which is great for avoiding customs checking out the contents.
