catching up on some old posts...
Besides perhaps missing me alluding to it a couple of months earlier, I was most surprised to discover that you of all people were unfamiliar with this workaround...I've found the under $30 price on Teusner MC Sparkling Shiraz 2010 still available when I set my store to Tuggeranong, ACT, but the prices goes up a lot when I ask to ship to my northern ACT address and pickup is not available.
I've created a Parcel Collect address at a local Post Office with the same post code as the Tuggeranong store and DM online allowed me to enter it manually, but I'm not game to complete the order.
Has anyone tried this workaround?
When you call them after placing an order to ensure that it will be sent via AusPost not Endeavour (as the latter are not meant to deliver to post offices), it can be possible to redirect thenThere doesn't seem to be a re-direct option for Parcel Collect deliveries.
Actually, as stated on their website, for a delivery order, the price is (meant to be) based upon that of the closest store to the full delivery address, not just the postcode, meaning that different stores could be closest to different addresses within the same postcode.I've been buying some more Seppelt Show Reserve Sparkling Shiraz 2008 @ $57.78 after it was showing out of stock after my previous round of orders some time ago.
I have these delivered to a Parcel Collect address in the delivery area of an ACT store (Tuggeranong), the deliveries coming from other NSW and Vic stores. My last order of 6 was reduced to 4 and a subsequent order with my store set to Tuggeranong failed due to no stock available. One of my subscribers found another Sydney store with the low price and I succeeded with an order from there for delivery to my PC address, from a different Sydney store.
My analysis of their system indicates:
The algorithm is actually quite simple (apart from the sometimes noted exceptions).
1. Each store has a set of postcodes they deliver to at their listed price.
2. Each store has it's own price for each wine listed for delivery, even if they don't stock it.
3. When you order for delivery, no matter what your store setting for ordering, the lowest price at stores in your delivery area is allowed, but this may be much higher than your selected store.
4. Your delivery, once the order is accepted as above, can come from any store Australia-wide that has stock, no matter what their listed price. (There appears to be limitations on this per store, hence my ability to pick another store after the one I first used said no more stock, not that they had any in the first place, yet the price for delivery was honoured in the delivery area for the store with no more stock when I bought from a store with the low price in another area. Follow that?) In fact I tried an order from a high-priced store for delivery to my address within the delivery area of a low-priced store (with no available allocation) and the price reduced nicely in the cart at checkout.
Weird, but consistent. Very weird.
I'm not sure if multiple stores share some of the same delivery postcodes, I suspect some close stores would.
So, the only really crazy thing, if you accept the algorithm is reasonable, albeit a bit weird, is the odd occurrence of low prices at stores that don't stock the wine. That is really a strange thing to do and beyond my understanding of logic or even good business practice.
I don't really think the algorithm is in any way a normal thing to do either, I would have thought consistent pricing within a state/region would be more usual.
But I'm happy they do it this way, I'm reaping the bargains currently.
Update: There is one "gotcha" in the above, last bit of #4: The store with the low price has to show stock available (even if they have no allocation left), when they run out of allocation and the system (or someone) eventually updates and marks the item as oos, the trick no longer works.
At checkout (not cart), you might have to switch a couple of times between pick-up in-store and delivery at the Parcel Collect address to ensure that prices are the same for both.
Only a few particular stores have dispatch facilities to fulfil delivery orders, and the closest one with enough stock to the delivery address will be allocated to do so.
I wouldn't normally considering paying for something like ShipSmart, but with my free subscription ending yesterday, it's tempting after all the clearance buying over the past year
Don't confuse quantity with qualityI am unaware of any other bottleshop that offers the same variety as Dans - and also that through their sheer throughput I can understand that it is hard to keep their hundreds of outlets all having availability of every product at every moment in time. But am finding that if I am prepared to get stock sent rather than pickup, they are quite good.
In case anyone was wondering why, they were replacing them with Gabriel-GlasBoccaccio cellar riedel glassware cleanence but for pickup only in melb. check out that link and email or phone them to place your order.

I was somewhat surprised that a key word was apparently missed by people even though highlighted:Some key words used:
Southern Hemisphere wine maker - not NZ in this case, so most likely Giant Steps.
The information that it's not Felton Road or Rippon comes from Simon Green (My Wine Guy), he can't / won't confirm what it actually is, but has not commented on the Giant Steps latest guess.
This winery is as BIG as it gets in the Southern Hemisphere
Thanks for the nice table - I could only simply list them a couple of months earlierFor those who work in Melb city. Some of the QV Riesling specials. Any recommendations?

No worries - feel free to pm meHahaha yes good pick up there qaz, they were only listing sqm, my natural assumption was that was cubic metres! Maybe it's just me, but it seems slightly unintuitive to only give you two dimensions of a storage space (and selling themselves short! My guess is the storage space ended up being ~2.5 cubic metres
I did not ask for a referral credit at the time, thanks qaz, but will enquire about a retrospective credit once I'm back from an overseas trip.
besides searching here for past posts, check this deal on OzBargainThoughts on the current Dan Murphys wrapped wines? I didn't realise there was so many! I'm tempted to try a few to see if their valued!
Don't know if still available, but some stores had Shadowfax chardonnay and pinot noir for $10 last year - I preferred others including M3, Scorpo$26 at Dan's. I think I'll hold off until I can find some Shadowfax, their Chardonnay is really good at the moment.
