Both Fedex and UPS will deliver to a local holding point. For me it is a Walgreens or the local UPS store, both close. Really? Walgreen's will accept your wine shipments and hold them for you to come pick up? That seems like a huge pain in the ass for Walgreen's, and would create liability concerns...

I chose the option to have my last shipment of wines dropped off at FedEx pickup location. It came to my house and left a doortag. Lol

YLee

In my experience, the UPS guys were better at their job than FedEx.

YLee

I had similar experience as Jordan. I decided not to deal with them. Their lack of CS will keep them as a small shop operation.

YLee

Yong. With respect, a mistake. It’s the real deal. I also bought strongly in 1996, loving them young, and it has proved to be a great decision. No vintage since, until 2008, had me as excited after not just hype but tasting. I see. Maybe I will add a bit more then. If you don't mind me asking which...

YLee

I didnt buy much compared to others because there will always be another "vintage of the century".

Watching this thread as well since I missed the last one due to injury. If the date you guys pick and if not chinese food, I am in but as of now looks like I will need to attend a future gathering.

Ch. Leoville Poyferre, NYC (11/4/19) From vintages 1966 to 2004 - bottles were consistent in style up until 2000/01, and then veered away to a more obvious modern approach from then on. Drank with 8 fun, friendly local enthusiasts, most with steak mains, vintages 1982, 1990, 1996 and 1966 were my f...

If I read the OP correctly, there is not actually evidence of an angry driver, just a "tried to deliver" when someone was actually home. I've had those on deliveries of quite light items , so think there's some projection going on here. Plus, most routes have same driver, so delaying a delivery doe...

With the shipping season in full effect, does anyone else get angry delivery man? Seems some of these deliver people get angry at me for delivering two to four boxes of 12 wines per box. I could be wrong but seems FedEx usually lies and states they try to deliver but nobody was home even though som...

Thanks to those who responded. These wines are available locally for less than half of what they are selling for online. Unfortunately, the retailer does not have an online presence.

If thats the case buy both

I don’t, but I get your drift. I have many dozens of antique corkscrews, including many from the early 1800s.

Sounds delicious. I "bought" these from a domestic shop then I was told they dont have any. Sounds like I need to search for them again.

My first purchase of the 06 Comtes was at $80. Rare Wine. Subsequent purchases were more.

Great price. You must have purchased it when it was first out.

YLee

LOL $145-150 is the cheapest I've seen domestically. Great snag. Bring back a pallet If you are buying multiple bottles of Champagne you should order from UK or France. You can save $30-50 per bottle including shipping cost. Example, 06 Taittinger Comtes BdB. 06 comtes for $60/btl? 80. It costs me ...

Data point: Received my 3rd shipment and again no tariff.
What was in it, what HTS code was declared, and what was the date it cleared US Customs.

All that information is needed to know if your data point is meaningful.

How do I find the HTS code?
