Wine.com Celebrates Four Years of Free Shipping "Steward-Ship" Program
The #1 Online Wine Retailer Offers Free, Month-Long Trial
(firmenpresse) - SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/14/12 -- Today, , the nation's leading online wine retailer, marks the four-year anniversary of Steward-Ship, the industry's first loyalty shipping program. To celebrate, Wine.com is offering customers a taste of Steward-Ship with a free, month-long trial. The landmark program provides members with one year of unlimited free standard shipping, on all personal and gift orders, regardless of order size, for $49.
Shipping wine can be tricky. Wine is subject to a number of different challenging factors including extreme weather, the necessity for an adult signature upon delivery, and complicated state shipping laws. To top it off, wine is heavy and fragile, which means shipping costs can get expensive. Wine.com has spent the last decade navigating these complexities and developing a series of innovations and services to make ordering, and shipping, wine online a snap.
Now, Wine.com offers the most convenient way to buy and ship wine online. The site provides customers with industry firsts like warehouse weather-holds to protect wine from heat damage and date-specific delivery, which allows customers to choose the exact day they would like to have their wine delivered. Steward-Ship adds to the shipping experience by offering a premium shipping deal, exclusive offers to members only, and early access to Wine.com promotional offers. And it doesn't hurt that since launching in 2008, Steward-Ship has remained the best wine shipping deal in the industry.
"People hate paying for shipping," said Rich Bergsund, CEO of Wine.com. "Wine.com Steward-Ship is the best deal in the wine business, and we're going to keep making it better."
