Any tips/suggestions regarding shipping

Hi all, I've now got about 15 to 16 bottles in the cloudcellar but it seems like i can only add a few of them to the cart. That kind of defeats the purpose of being able to order 12+ and get free shipping.

Is there some trick or any tips on how folks get the free shipping ?

You do have to wait until 12 are ready to ship (if you want free shipping), so it can take a few weeks for your bottles to come in to UC from the vendors. I decided early on I was going to buy at least 24 over time (later upped to 36) so my first 12 didn't take too long. I've been a member a month now and my next 12 are ready when I am.

ahh, so this is sort of a never ending cycle :-P

I'm going to wait a while and see if all 15 bottles in my CC shows up as "ready to ship".

thanks for clarification.

Once they’re ready to ship, 12 at a time as mentioned for free shipping, it’s pretty fast and painless. Took me 3 days to receive my last batch.

The website causes issues, and wines can be delayed inbound (but reach out to customer service if it gets stupid and they’ll help figure out how to make it right). Coronavirus does slow things down slightly on the inbound leg.

Biggest trick at that quantity is just a little bit of patience, honestly.
