I would appreciate an invite if possible, but unfortunately i don't know how to PM either. Can you please let me know how? (Sorry for the hassle).

some people can always arrange for others to be invited with a $20 welcome voucher, else invitation periods have previously lasted up to two weeks or perhaps a month

Hi I would appreciate an invite as well if possible. I attempted to PM but unfortunately I’m lacking some skills. Any assistance would be welcomed.

 

[Steady]

Would appreciate an invite, if anyone can?

I offered to invite you on Friday and you replied advising you already had an invite

My CellarDoor order arrived today.. it’s been shipped in 40 degree weather so I guess the odds are that the wine could have been heat affected? Maybe I’ll gift it to someone who doesn’t know much about wine

Could one of the kind Members please provide me with a CellarDone invitation....Thank You.

was it in polystyrene packaging or a cardboard box?

previously all my single bottle orders up until August came in the former, but with my first one since then the other day, unfortunately the latter

Same here

Welcome aboard @BodohBordeaux - I have sent you a message

Slightly off topic, but how does everyone manage their orders in high temperatures? Some online stores have the option of holding until the days are cooler but many do not. Also you might be ordering from interstate where it could be on a cold run but its very hot in your home state.
Also you have no idea where it is being stored every day through transit which makes it difficult.

If you see a deal do you just take the plunge and hope for the best?

It came in a cardboard box, and it was 40 degrees at both ends.

Not sure if CellarOne did this on purpose, but I ordered last week and they didn’t ship until Tuesday this week. Very grateful as the weather had become significantly cooler in Sydney.

I check the weather first in both cities and pray

 

[moa999]

A bit of pray.
But I think real damage is done by continual heat cycles to wine.
Don't think one or two makes a massive difference.

I tend to not order wine in the summer months unless I trust the seller and know they ship in refrigerated reefers (ie Eurocentric).

For those who recently had wine turn up on a hot day, were the bottles actually hot when you touched them? If not, I wouldn't be too worried. I've had wine (many years ago turn up at 4pm in Perth on a stinking hot day. I told the delivery guy to wait a minute. Opened the box and found the bottles seriously warm. Told him I'm not signing for this and to return it to the sender. This was QF Wine. They don't care about how they treat wine.

The alternative is crack a bottle that night and see if it seems cooked. If it does, call the retailer and request a replacement. Alternatively, don't buy in summer.

My vinomofo order turned up yesterday and sat in the sun for 4hrs. The bottles were burning hot.

Unfortunately I didn’t know they’d arrived as 1) they didn’t knock and 2) tracking hadn’t updated to say it’d been delivered

Unsure what to do as it’s not really vinomofo’s fault
