Shipping via third party shipper from them was $275 for 3 bottles…
Shipping to Domaine NJ with them seems pretty good. Was told they do once-a-month temperature controlled shipping to Domaine, for $20/case. Cheaper than Fedex!
Wow, that is high. Last month Winebid shipped me 24 bottles in three boxes (16-750s, 4-375, 4-magnums) from Napa to Chicago for $63 via Fedex Ground.
I had a quote of $89 to ship five bottles, ground, to Ohio. I cancelled my order and they were nice about it. I know the law–but it’s strange how it’s enforced. K&L is the only retailer I’ve found that won’t ship to Ohio at all though.
I think it’s mentioned above (and I’ve mentioned it previously elsewhere) but if you are in the NY area, ship through the NE shipping partner MWC if you can. $10 for up to a case to Clifton, NJ. That’s where I store so HDH is a fine place to buy still for me. It’s the shipment out of that location that will kill you.
Flickinger OTOH has become more difficult in terms of shipping from Chicago, and their prices have gone up for many wines.
