The Paso-Primero Delivery Details.
I’ve agonised about the best way of getting our wines to you. Honestly, if I could drop them all off myself I would because paying courier fees and re-packaging wines into shipping boxes is very low on my fun list. Unfortunately they are necessary evils, but I’ve done my best to keep prices low and easy to understand.
I’ve tired to outline all the key bits of information below but look, I work on my own. Paso-Primero does not have fulfilment centres with robotic 24hr turn arounds. Sometimes you might need to bear with me. The pay-off is that you get hand crafted wines made with passion, provenance, and purpose and a winemaker that is doing everything they can to keep their wines as affordable as possible. And hey, it’s me that you’ll be talking to if you have any issues or questions. No AI chat bots, no disenfranchised call centre workers. It’s me! Just email me on info@paso-primero.com and I’ll do everything I can to help. Cheers, Tom.
SHIPPING FEES :
I used to include shipping fees within my prices but I had too many people emailing to dispute the prices of my wines. That’s why I’ve started adding fees.
£4.90 for every bottle we send out individually. That covers the packaging and delivery via Royal Mail. If you buy two or more individual bottles the fee will be applied to each bottle. At £5 I’m barely covering the costs so there is no multi-buy discount.
£8.50 for three bottle boxes (I know the trilogies look nice but shipping them is almost the same price as shipping 7!)
£9.50 for every order above three bottles. (EG - Cases of seven, fourteen etc). That covers re-packaging and delivery via APC.
PLEASE NOTE - It is £9.50 per order so if you buy one case your delivery fee total is £9.50. If you buy two cases it’s still £9.50. The more you buy, the cheaper it is!
Case volumes :
We ship in 7’s not 6’s.
I am constantly looking for ways of mitigating ‘external costs’. I hate anything that makes my wine more expensive for you that doesn’t go into making the wine better. Shipping wine is obviously a huge expense and one way of keeping the fees low is to send 7 bottles instead of 6. The delivery fees stay the same, the re-packing costs stay the same, but you split those costs 15% further by having an extra bottle.
Delivery schedule :
Again, you’ve got to remember I work on my own. I can’t work to the same schedule as the Amazon droids. I can however try to stick to the following :
I aim ship my wines on the Wednesday or Thursday after I receive your order. It’s not an exact science but it’s a good framework!
