Wendouree allocations and general discussion

[OrangeRoughie]

One of my SA mate's got hit for full order yesterday (3 dozen). He is 4th year, red crayon.

I called 2 days ago to add a few more bottles to my order. Obviously my order hasn't been processed yet. I'm in VIC.

Did they say much about how they are processing and quantities etc?

 

[OrangeRoughie]

I'm probably not going to order anything at all this year. Still bitter about the way I was treated in 2017.

@Dr Ralph what did you end up doing?

 

[penegal]

Hopefully you're VICtorious

We can hope. Maybe I've been exiled like Ralphy

@Dr Ralph what did you end up doing?

Just returned to Australia this morning. Haven't acted yet. But 90% likely not to order.

Full order charged to CC yesterday afternoon - Tas

Did anyone get a tracking number or do they just show up?

They are offline, if they mailed the tracking info out it would likely arrive at the same time as the wine did. I have a MyPost account and don't remember it ever showing up in there either - some deliveries do without entering a tracking number and others don't

Arrived today. (Nothing on MyPost)

First year mailout here. Had posted my order back day 1 but noted the tracking number on the letter hadn’t been delivered. I contacted Wendouree to check if they had received it. They hadn’t- thanks AusPost

Of interest to some of you may be that they said as a first year customer it was almost certain I wouldn’t have got anything regardless. They were very helpful though and said they would make sure I was retained on the mailing list for future years, which I appreciated given the circumstances.

Had my CC charged for my full order (2 dozen) today.

Still no charge on my credit card yet, looks like a miss vintage for me.

Whilst i didn't get my full order last year, my card wasn't charged until the 14th of August. Not over for you just yet.

On another note my mate was dropping his order off at his wine locker the other day and there was another fella there doing the same. They got chatting and the other bloke said this was his 19th year of ordering and was red crayon, he was wondering if he will get bumped to black for 20th year. He also said he missed out on his order last year.

I called up today to check all is received and ok.. I don't like to push. started with a general chat about the vintage etc

2 things from the conversation. Was advised they are processing orders for the next 3 -4 weeks and in passing said to me " when we get to the NSW folder ".. I know I might not get the full order as it appears NSW is last but I am sure over the next few weeks something will be processed. I got the impression they have had plenty of calls from "worried" customers...

If there’s no cab or cab Malbec(now with pressing), then it is over , shiraz Malbec and Mataro can be easily purchase from auction around the same price.

Oh well, I put more funds into my Marius offer.a little surprise for us this year. 1 dozen each for me.

But some from NSW( Canberra and Sydney) already had their credit card hit a week ago and probably will receive their wines this week, somehow that answer she gave you just doesn’t add up.

I think it is just the usual, they screwed up just like any other year from what I can gather around forums and word of mouth, black or red or even the signatures got skipped without any notice where new members gets full allocations.
