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.

The broad fees are :

  • £4.90 for every bottle we send out individually. That covers the packaging and delivery via Royal Mail.

  • £9.95 for two bottle boxes. As with the singles we’ve got to cover re-packaging and shipping.

  • £9.95 for cases of seven or fourteen. That covers re-packaging and delivery via APC.

  • £14.85 for double case orders. Any configuration requiring two or more boxes, whether that’s 21 bottles or 9. Use our shipping calculator to make sure you’re getting the best deal!!

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!

Geography :

We ship via APC so we work off their delivery routes. That means we send wine anywhere in MAINLAND UK. We can work beyond this if you want us to but you’ll need to email me on info@paso-primero.com.
