WINEJAN

Ok so i saw this deal else where and when i tried placing an order i got the items for free. I am in sydney and if i place an order below $10 i get the whole thing free inc shipping and insurance. You can purchase individual wine bottles and some beers too. There is a lot of choice.

I am sure this is a mistake and can't confirm whether they will fulfill the orders. Try your luck. Nothing like free beer or wine.

Edit: orders with $0 might not go through. Make it $0.01 or more and it will go through

For some areas this may not be free as deliveries varies in areas.

      [mod: removed personal attack remark] try a test order on their website. If u want it free you do the work. I ain't doing it for you. Since when did this rule come into place on ozbargain.

    • the player on 15/01/2011 - 10:41

      made an order with few dollars excess, but dont know about $0 orders.
      still early to call, though went thru the credit card as authorisation, might be hidden terms and they might reject to process order.

    Thanks, gave it a go. Only concern I have is that you still need to give your credit card details even if the total order comes to $0 with the discount.

    Edit - I had issues purchasing when the total was at $0. So I changed my order to a total of $1.19 and it went through.

    UPDATE TO MY POST ABOVE (which I can't seem to edit)

    $10.30 to Melb.
    6 pack of JAMES SQUIRE PILSENER for $6.35 (delivered) is a bargain for a circa $18-$20 RRP beer.
    +1 to OP from me.

    EDIT:
    Crunched some figures here and…

    There's 2 ways to order a slab of this JSP beer:

    1> You could buy a slab of JSP for $62.64 (24 x $2.61) + $20.60 shipping + $1.57 insurance - $20 discount = $64.81
    OR
    2> You could do 4 separate transactions of 6 bottles for $15.66 (6 x 2.61) + $10.30 + $0.39 insurance - $20 discount = $6.35 x4 = $25.40

    Whilst it may be taking advantage of an offer, it is possible to do. :)

    FYI - this is based on Melb freight, so TAS, WA and prob NT would be less cost effective. SYD shoppers would save another $1.35 x 4 = $5.40 on TCO.

        Pretty sure that they do, I tried to order something without the winejan code and it came to too much on my credit card so was denied, after putting on the winejan code it went through, so looks like the cards are charged straight away. Offer, acceptance, payment, come on alcohol.

    Their Freight costs are probably not as much as they say they are. They probably have some sort of deal with a freight company for a specific period of time. So they probably won't be to out of pocket

    • DCx3 on 15/01/2011 - 14:07

      Even though yours has gone through it does clearly state you have to order a minimum of 6 as I am sure it is easier for them to ship it as a 6 pack or a case rather than individual bottles. So expect to be refunded your money.

  • GreenGuava on 15/01/2011 - 14:03

    From their T&Cs:

    All orders are accepted subject to availability and will be accepted at the discretion of Winemakers Choice (and any monies taken for an order will be refunded to the customer if the order is not accepted). The prices as shown on the website are current however and they may change at any time at the discretion of Winemakers Choice without notice, including in the event that suppliers change their prices or governments impose a further impost, or if there is an error on this website or in any advertising material (including emails, fax and any other material).

    For the record, instead of going for an outright 'freebie' (which would most likely get cancelled anyway), I used the voucher to get a discount on a decent bottle of red (as a gift). Although it doesn't strictly meet the T&Cs for the voucher as posted in the OP, I think it has a better chance of getting through than all these $1 and $2 orders that (most?) people have placed.

    Has anybody actually taken the time to read and understand the Terms and Conditions? It clearly states that the voucher can only be used for wine only and for a purchase of $70 or more….
    6.For wine only. Purchase value of $70 or over.

    So what you will find will happen to your orders if you gave your credit card details is that you will be charged the correct amount for your order and the voucher will not apply or your order will be canceled due to it not meeting the requirements.

    ALWAYS READ THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS!!!!!
    I have been stung before.

    • GreenGuava on 15/01/2011 - 17:19

      I could be wrong (in which case I'm happy to be corrected), but they would have no authority to debit your credit card more than once. AFAIK the authority only applies at the time of the transaction.

      Given that they have already debited the invoiced amount for those who paid via CC, technically they can either cancel the sale and refund your money (which is fine given the T&Cs), honour the sale or offer some kind of intermediate.

      • swimmingtoad on 15/01/2011 - 18:02

        Yeh, they cannot legally debit more money after issuing an invoice for a certain amount. They would legally have to refund everyone and offer the option to repurchase at the higher price

    • jiakz on 16/01/2011 - 22:14

      why? they are within their right to charge the correct amount and remove the voucher from the total amount when and if the voucher has been misused. More than likely they will just cancel the transaction.
      And to shane23, For wine only. means voucher is applicable to the purchase of wine only.

    • fruxo on 16/01/2011 - 00:30

      I tried it for a $24 bottle of curacao, and it worked fine. I think most people have realised that it is SUPPOSED to be for $70 minimum, but orders of any amount is going through the system so it's worth a shot. Personally, I couldn't be bothered going through with order due to $10 shipping, but if you get free shipping (as per title) you'd be silly not to try.

      • GreenGuava on 16/01/2011 - 02:04

        The 'free shipping' mentioned in the title/OP is misleading. It's only true if your order is $10 or below. ie $10 purchase + ~$10 P/H (varies according to location) = nil total cost and 'free' shipping.

        Anyway, the point is moot as it's likely that most orders will be cancelled.
