They cancel Drizly orders, which then means I have wasted time waiting on them to deliver and holds on my credit card for a week.

Buyer Beware!!
Went to Wilburs today ( 2/24) to buy some beer. Nothing fancy. I was looking at domestic beer and found a reasonably priced 12 pack. I grabbed 2 and went to check out. There the clerk scanned the beer and it didn't come up in his system. So he tried to look it up manually but couldn't find it. He finally asked for help and another clerk tried to look it up. After he was unsuccessful he called to what I would assume a manager and the look on his face when he saw what I was buying. Two 12 packs of Bud Light Chelada. He asked where I got it and I told him in the cooler. Told him there was a couple more in there. He told the other clerks they were not to put that in the cooler as 12 packs and that the beer was not for sale in 12 packs. He said that Wilburs breaks down the 12 packs and sell them as 6 packs. $11.99 a 6 pack. So in short it looks as if Wilburs is taking some beers and breaking them down into 6 packs so they can make more money. A 12 pack of Bud Light Chelada for $23.98. (2 six pack prices) not going to happen. Recently I bought a 12 pack of the same beer from Walmart for $15.00. Of course I refused to pay that much for sub-par beer. Heck I can get a case of Corona for 35 bucks. A case of Bud Light Chelada would have been $47.96 at their price.
I find this to be a very unethical practice. And to that I will never step into that store again knowing a business would do that to their customers. Make it so you can only but it in 6 packs for a higher price.
They bought it from the distributor in 12 pack form, they should sell it as a 12 pack.
I wonder if the liquor commission knows of this and if it is legal. Makes me wonder what else they are doing to gouge the customer.
Sorry Wilburs but I need to let the consumer know. Word of mouthHelpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - D M.Loveland, CO1562Mar 6, 2022
Best Liquor Store in the area (Ft Collins / Loveland) ... consistently good selection of spirits, decent pricing, great customer service from the staff [I can't speak to complaints about management]
Their wine selection and beer selection ain't bad either - but that depends your needs/interests.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Matthew N.Westminster, CO9628Nov 20, 2022
Good selection. Prices on spirits are high compared to competitors. $40 dollars for a bottle of Campari... c'mon that's a joke.

Four stars for a decent selection and typically a very good experience with staff. Recently called to inquire about a specific bourbon and was very disappointed in the call. I tried to buy Blanton and was told to call on Thursdays to see if they've gotten it in and buy immediately before it sells out. It truly felt like I was talking to a used car salesman. I appreciate that hard to find bourbons or any liquor can sell fast... but would like to feel that I'm dealing with a premium store with outstanding customer service. FYI I've spent over $3000 in bourbon, cognac and scotch last year.
I bought the Blanton online ad I did not have to call and rush to the store.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Scott L.Omaha, NE2815947May 29, 2022
Always stop here when I'm in Fort Collins. Always find something I'm looking for! Today was no different.

Wilbur's is my go-to place for adult beverages. Huge selection!! It isn't the closest liquor store to my house, but when I want to find a good selection, or when I am looking for something that isn't at a more local place, I come here. I love the large beer selection and the specialty beer bottles they have as single beer bottles. When something new comes out from a local brewery I can usually count on Wilbur's to have it.
I am a beer and whiskey drinker for the most part, but when I am looking for a good gin or scotch, this is where I come to find it. The prices aren't that bad and they have sales often enough that I often find something fun to try as well. On occasion I get an employee that is apathetic in their customer service, but that is typically the exception to the rule and I get pretty good service here. They offer a 10% discount to military veterans and they have a rewards program that gives discounts and you can work toward money off after spending a certain amount. Wilbur's isn't the best liquor store I have ever been in, but it's the best one in Fort Collins and surrounding area and for that...5 stars!!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Ally J.Beverly Hills, CA01116Feb 15, 2022
I stopped in yesterday and had the best experience I have ever had in a wine shop. I was helped by a gentleman that was enthusiastic and very knowledgeable about wine. It was exciting to see someone who really enjoyed enjoyed their job. I didn't get his name which I regret, but I wanted to say thank you for the great experience!
