written by Joyce. I
enjoy a glass of wine now and then, and in keeping with my penchant for
purchasing as much online as I possibly can I decided to check out online
wine vendors. I found Wine.com (which is also affiliated with
Evineyard.com) and spent some enjoyable time browsing the site. The wine I
was looking for was a port wine by Whidbey's, one that is easily found in
grocery stores here in Spokane but one that is not so easily found online.
To my delight, Wine.com had Whidbey's. I checked out the prices and
was pleasantly surprised to find that a case discount applied. Because of
that it was much more cost effective to purchase an entire case rather
than a smaller number of bottles, and with the holidays coming I figured
it would be a nice complement to holiday meals.
I received my invoice via email the day after making my purchase, but I
was surprised to not receive a UPS tracking number along with it. (I
confess that I love to watch my packages make their way to my house via
the UPS tracking options.)
No tracking number. So I figured there would be a minor delay in shipping
time; no big deal because I ordered well in advance of the holiday crush
time. To my surprise, I came home from work three days after I placed my
order and found a notice from UPS.
The downside of purchasing wine online is that an adult (age 21 or over)
must be present to sign for the shipment. While this makes sense in the
grand scheme of things (not terribly smart to leave a case of wine sitting
on the front porch), it is a bit frustrating if one has to wait for the
order because of having to organize time to go to the UPS station to pick
it up. Still, it is a minor inconvenience, once again considering the big
picture.
I was very pleased with the delivery time, even though it was a minor
irritation to not receive the UPS tracking information in advance. Still,
this inconvenience is something I can live with and I fully intend to
purchase more products from Wine.com.
Prices were reasonable; quite comparable to those in the grocery stores.
The case discount effectively offset the shipping charges, which put the
case well within the amount of money I wanted to spend. The web site is
secure, so purchasing online with a credit card was a safe option.
Wine.com has a very user-friendly interface and the search engine
works well. The load time of the site is reasonable, and I did not
experience any problems with dead links or slow interface. Considering how
much online shopping I do this time of year, speed is essential! I was not
disappointed with this site.
Consider checking out Wine.com if you enjoy wine and like to shop
online; chances are you will find what you are looking for and will have
an enjoyable and pleasant online shopping experience.
