    Has anyone noticed the prices keep changing on many different items. I ordered Damnation at $6.79 per bottle, checked later and it was down to $5.99, now its up to $6.99. And I thought when I ordered it showed Damnation at 750ml, but now shows as 375 ml. Anyone know which bottle it actually comes in?

    yea they definetly raised the prices, my Damnations were $5.79 a piece and the Supplication was $12.79. I noticed a lot of things went up $.50-$1 or so but they're probably trying to compensate for all the orders they're getting with free shipping.

    They added Redemption, Salvation and Sanctification too. Trying so hard to resist another order.

    Just ordered a few things yesterday from here. Today I tried to login and it said I had the wrong password/email address. I used the same one that my confirmation email got sent to and even tried the forgot my password option, but it said that email address wasn't found. I contacted the seller but no word yet. Anyone else have this issue?

    Looks like they replenished their stock. They have Velvet Merlin listed again.

    LetsPour wins because they ship to MD. Although LP's selection is much lesser and the site layout/organization confuses me. Sigh.

    Yeah it's lame but had to be done I'm sure. Last week I considered just ordering a bomber or two but felt guilty that I was taking advantage of a small business and I didn't really want to order enough to make it worth their while. So local bottle shop here I come! :slight_smile:

    I think the free shipping is still available on certain items, but probably nothing you would want to buy.
    They had to be losing money. If you ordered one 6 pack of anything for $10, the shipping cost has to be close to that for that one item ($10). And I am not sure this will even lead to business for them down the road as their selection isn't nearly as good as some of the other sites I have dealt with that ship. Just happy I got my shipping confirm before they pulled the free shipping.

    Yeah, the draw was the free shipping...I mean they may have picked up some new customers but likely not many.

    I don't know of another place that will ship Russian River to NJ.
    I haven't recieved my order yet. If all goes well, as I suspect it will, most likely they will be getting additional orders from me.

    The site worked great, the selection was solid, the ordering process was easy and the prices were competitive.

    And now that the free shipping is over I will never, ever use them again.

    Exactly. I'm sure they'll have another free shipping sale.

    If they do free shipping again I'll be right back on it for sure. Until then, see you later.

    Has anyone gotten their order yet? I am still waiting on mine and am wondering if anyone has received there's yet.

    Actually I just checked my order using the tracker and it's in Troutdale, OR. I received a message last Friday saying that it had shipped out and 6 days later it's still 3,100 miles away from me. Bummer.
