What are you using and why?
edit: I used to look at Let's Pour site, but never made any orders.

If you never order from LetPour bc of the cost then you likely won't like the other online beer retailers since they charge shipping.
some to look at would be...
Luekens Liquors - Located in FL - reasonable shipping, Cigar City beers.
West Lakeview Liquors - Located in Chicago - Pipeworks, Three Floyds, Midwest Beers
Quality Liquor Store - Located in South CA - Firestone, Ballast Point, Almanac, etc
France 44 - Located in Minneapolis - Surly and other midwestern brews
Bring on the Beer - Located in Oregon - Ale Apothecary, Block 15, assorted small northwestern brewers that you wont find other places.
There are others, but these are a good place to start that

also recommend craftbeertemple.com for offering out of midwest, specifically Chicago
blackwell's in San Fran has a lot of good product, but their website is terrible

Good list,
I dont order online mostly because shipping costs can be a bit absurd. Not that trading is any less expensive by comparison.
A few guys I know use..
Craft Beer Kings
or
Craftshack

His Cantillon is ALWAYS over priced, but his prices on other Belgian sours seem to be within a few dollars of what we get them for in Louisiana. I've always assumed that extra $1 is used to pad his flat shipping rate.
Really the only reason I order from this guy is he gets fresh Russian River beers at a decent price.
He typically has a decent stock of Almanac and other California goodies that I can use to fill out the rest of the box.

His almanac prices seem to be reasonable too

He's all over the map. If you want Cantillon, Drie Fonteinen or that Westy he brings in you need to be prepared for a full fisted prostate exam with it.
I agree that he does okay on the Cali stuff but figured what choice does he really have given that he's competing in that local market? I laughed hysterically back in March when BA Old Raspy showed up and he was asking $22 for a bottle selling here in Tampa for $16-18.
I get the emails every few weeks and almost without fail will find something thats outlandishly priced. In his defense, I dont know if this is commonplace on other sites as I dont really look or shop online as I mentioned earlier.

I've used Lueken's and France 44 in the past. Both of them have been good.

It's very common place. There are at least 3 sites right now that have BA old Rasputin for $24 and higher.
The only online place I shop regularly is Leukins bc their shipping is reasonable and I don't have another regular CCB source.
I find it difficult to justify the shipping on the other sites when I have much cheaper options like trading.

Check out Brewforia. Some really good folks and awesome collection of hard to find crafts.

Leukens has what is probably the largest shop in the Tampa Bay area and they routinely get some of the tough stuff. What you see on the site is only a fraction of what they have on hand.
That said, if you aren't a big spender you'll never see any of it. That aggravates a lot of the locals from time to time but I dont know that you should be penalized for taking care of your core customers.
The staff could definitely use some customer service classes. The place reminds me of that Dave Chappelle "Pop Copy" skit and its like they go out of their way to make the customers feel unwelcome...

Thanks for the info. I'll keep all of these in mind although the shipping costs will limit my purchases. As mentioned, I went to one site and just put in an order of 3 six packs and it was 24.95 just for the shipping.

So, an extra $1.25 per beer that you are buying at retail, and that most of us would willingly pay bar prices (double retail or more) to drink.
As for Blackwell's, his shipping is pretty reasonable, and only a few things are complete scalpings and I avoid those. I like getting his weekly updates-I just looked at that Brewforia site and went crosseyed looking at row after row of beer, mostly good ones, that are all out of stock. Maybe I'm just lazy, but IDGAF what beer you had 2 years ago, just what can you ship me now.

I found this one earlier. They have free shipping if you buy 12 bottles.

Yeah, I guess. Total cost was 29.xx shipping was 24.xx. $18 per six pack is going to limit my purchases.

Agreed. Don't like seeing all of those out of stock. Maybe 15%-20% were actually in stock.
