When is it too hot to ship wine
Wine Shipping Costs - How Wine Is Packaged
everybody Nate here for the Vino parties
a wine store they want to talk to you a
little bit about why wine shipping costs
so much you know shipping line is
expensive for a couple reasons one the
bottles of the line the way quite a bit
and when you ship stuff especially when
you're shipping across country shipping
companies they got to charge you for
that weight and you know it's one thing
that it's not much you can do about that
unfortunately the wine ways a bit that's
what this also the shipping companies
however you require you put in special
packaging so normally a lot of wine I'll
show up into our store like this from
the distributor in a little ball like
this and what we have to do is we have
to put it in our own packaging we have
these crepes and protect it so when it's
shipped to you I just kept safe and
sound so if you damage and impact your
wines get arrival right this is a pulp
recycle shipment container we also have
some styrofoam ones around here
somewhere let me grab one hold on
so sorry about that we have these
styrofoam containers another option
personally they I don't care for these
are not very environmentally friendly
they take up a lot of space and then
once you get the patch I mean what do
you do with them you got throw them out
you can't really recycle that stuff so
we have to do is we have to put them in
a box like this we tape it up and then
the wines they lay inside here so for a
big box like this it holds 12 put them
in here we've got put these trays with
it and the box becomes about twice as
big so you know that's one of the things
that the shipping companies requires
that the wine zip and a careful patch
which is actually for your benefit too
because you're wandering arrived safe
and sound on time that being said that
adds to the cost unfortunately that gets
pushed on to you so we hate the wine
shipping costs so much but it's common
unfortunate effect of the business now a
lot of times people say well other
places have free shipping their
discounted shipping free shipping or you
know flat rate shipping and what I got
to say about that is there's no such
thing in the world it's free shipping
UPS FedEx other shipping companies they
are charging people for shipping
somebody's paying for it and you know
maybe the cost of the shipping is
absorbed in the cost of the wine
sometimes people get this deal on wire
where they can purchase it super cheap
because it's discontinued discounted or
whatever and the too much inventory they
want to get rid of it so the seller of
the wine was able to you know carry the
cause of the shipping in the bottle of
wine but for the most part at vino
prairies Alliance what we want to offer
the wine at the lowest possible price we
can so we don't offer case discounts all
that stuff so what we do we do the
reason why we do that is we want you to
have the best possible price whether
you're buying one bottle 12 bottles 24
bottles or mixed we don't want you to
get
lies 52 x 12 when you only need six or
you want to get two of those two of that
two of that and you got to pay more for
the one because you buy it buy enough of
it so that's what we feel we want to
offer you think that's important that
you're always getting the best pricing
and so because we do that we don't
include any of the cost of the shipping
in our price we just tricked Lee pass on
the cost of the shipping the cost of
packaging that the companies require us
to do in them that's just passed on to
you guys so we're trying not to make any
money on the shifting want that be as
cheap as possible because we want you
spend your money on wine not on shipping
and I think that's what you guys want to
do to the last thing that makes shipping
so expensive is we have to put these
shipping labels on that and says no one
under 21 is allowed to accept this
package and do not deliver to adopts k
people and the government requires that
make sure when I've ship into minors
shipping it to drunk people and you know
that's important for you if so when
you're shipping one you want to make
sure your ship into an address where
someone over 21 can receive it and time
for it and best thing we recommend is if
you can ship it to your place of
employment or business somewhere where
somebody's going to be there throughout
the day that way the wine comes
delivered sign boom you got it otherwise
you shift your house you step out for an
errand and they come to deliver it
nobody's there guess what they're not
going to leave it on the package on the
doorstep for you like if you order and t
shirts off and I amazon so the guys got
to come back and that means it's just
another chance another day that
something could happen your wife we hate
that and unfortunately the shipping
companies also charged
be four that they charge a five dollar
fee approximately have somebody signed
for it so that's kind of in a nutshell
what made sipping wine so expensive to
recap should be one is expensive for one
wine way is a bunch it's heavy and it
costs a lot of mine ship whines what's
heavy you know a box on that bull
feathers five pounds big full box case
of wines about 40 pounds it's heavy it's
getting cost money the shipping
companies they charge for it more wine
ways the more they're going to charge
for it too yeah you got the extra
packaging this required and three adult
signature so that's just a little
backstory what goes into shipping wine
it's not just as easy as taking a
package that we get it in and off it
goes lot goes into it so I thought we'd
educate you guys a little bit on how
that is anyways I'm made with vino por
