Send beer to Cuba through the site micerveza.com
If you want to buy beer or malt to send to your friends or family in Cuba or you simply want to guarantee a drink during your stay on the island, you have found the right article. Here we are going to explain how to do it.
Cuba, in case you don’t know, is a surreal island. What happens there doesn’t happen anywhere else on the planet (for better or worse).
For example, buying beer in the network of Cuban stores is extremely difficult right now, due to the shortage situation the country is experiencing.
The best way to buy beer is to do it from abroad, through the site micerveza.com.
This e-commerce site sells the traditional and most popular beers made in Cuba. You can find beers of the Cristal, Bucanero, Cacique and Mayabe brands.
You can also buy Bucanero malt, a sweet, non-alcoholic beverage much appreciated by Cubans.
Fortunately, micerveza allows free shipments to many municipalities and almost all provinces of the country.
What is micerveza.com?
Micerveza.com is an online store that belongs to Cervecería Bucanero S.A. corporation.
It is based in Toronto Canada, at least it is registered there, that is the data that we have been able to know.
This business is dedicated to the commercialization through the Internet of beers, malts and other minor items related to the consumption of these beverages.
Mi cerveza operates in 11 Cuban provinces and many more municipalities.
The best-selling products of this online store are Cristal Extra beer (a more modern version of the classic Cristal beer), Bucanero Max beer and Cristal beer, in its traditional green can.
Micerveza.com is a website but in a certain sense it works as a physical store divided into several stores, spread throughout Cuba, in several provinces and with delivery in many municipalities.
What are the prices of the beer store for Cuba? The web page denominates its prices in Canadian dollars. The prices of the packs of 24 units of beer range from 40 Canadian dollars (packs of 355 ml canned beer) to 43 Canadian dollars (packs of 24 glass bottles of 350 ml). Bucanero malt sells for C$25.10.
In addition to these products, which are the most demanded, the Cervecería Bucanero S.A. store also sells other beers that are traditionally consumed only within Cuba, such as the Cacique and Mayabe brands, less known internationally but also of great quality.
Attention, you should know that the store does not always have availability of all these beverages. The problem of stock availability is important because it can vary from one province to another.
The site also sells beer-related items, such as cup holders, beer mugs, beer dispensers and other accessories.
How to register on micerveza.com?
This is one of the most difficult points for common users. Websites linked to e-commerce allowed by the Cuban authorities usually do not have a good customer service and do not offer a very neat user experience.
The registration process at micerveza.com is extremely cumbersome and is one of the main complaints of users visiting the website.
In the beginning, creating an account on the platform was a simple process. The site only needed the customer’s contact information and little else.
But today, the website requests several tests that allow it to identify and verify each of the accounts created.
In theory, this is a control mechanism to prevent a few users from hoarding all the purchases in a country like Cuba that suffers chronic shortages and has a large black market full of resellers of everything. The cumbersome and tedious registration process is a mechanism to limit the resale of beer inside Cuba.
One vital point: to register with micerveza.com you have to be a resident outside Cuba. From inside the country it is not possible.
During the registration process, the platform asks for personal information: name, date of birth, email, telephone, address and even a photo of a valid ID.
Another annoying aspect is that each new user must take a selfie to confirm that the person opening the account is the same person who appears on the ID sent during the registration process.
Verification of this process is not automatic and takes several days. The team that manages micerveza.com decides whether or not to enable the account after performing the relevant checks. It does not appear to be a fully automated process.
The website allows payments via Visa and Mastercard. So far it does not allow the use of MLC cards issued by Cuban banks.
To which provinces and municipalities in Cuba can the purchase be shipped?
According to micerveza.com conditions, delivery times can be up to 5 days in Havana (the capital city) and up to 7 days in the rest of the provinces. All home deliveries are free of charge.
Delivery is made between 9:00 am and 7:00 pm.
The micerveza.com store is divided into branches according to delivery locations: Pinar del Río, Artemisa, Havana and Mayabeque are those in the west.
Matanzas and Villa Clara belong to the same store, as well as Ciego de Avila and Sancti Spíritus, and Holguín, Las Tunas and Santiago de Cuba.
A store was recently reported to be opening in Camagüey, but so far it has no home delivery service.
