Wendouree allocations and general discussion

[darellk]

I'm certainly no expert, but I think what we receive at the end is a result of a number of factors - tenure (crayon colour), state/location (some say this may rotate), quantity of request, variety mix requested, where your form is physically located in the pile of forms, overall yield size/mix and therefore what is left to fill Green/blank crayon requests once the longer tenure customer's orders are filled. I'm not sure requesting MoA or not is a major factor on its own. Being a traditional manual process it must be difficult and a little stressful for them to try to keep everyone happy in some way.....but that's is the way they like it.

Yeah exactly. Why to do something in a day (like Sami-Odi does) with the help of plethora of the modern tools when you can spend months doing it manually and frustrate your clients! Makes perfect sense.

Card hit today. First year green crayon. Probably 6 out of 12 ordered.

Just got charged $336, a fraction of what I'd ordered! (I used to be a red crayon before falling off the list when I lived overseas for a decade and didn't order - got back on the list sans-crayon last year)

How much did you ask for?

Pretty much a six pack of everything. Guess I'll be getting a couple of shiraz blends and a couple of cabernet blends if I'm lucky?

That's an ok haul given you've only been back on the list from last year...better than missing out completely - 4 reds and 2 MoA would be my guess.

Yeah, not complaining, much. Will keep you guys posted!

Got a hit for $243. After an order of 18 bottles, 3 of everything except MOA and Malbec, looks like I’ll get a 3 pack of something.
Green crayon VIC, 6th year on the list.
Last year I ordered 6 of everything and ended up with 18 bottles. After the cellar door told me that they look favourably on people who order less than 6 bottles of each I thought I’d try that but it looks like that doesn’t work either!!
Maybe I’ll keep ordering 6 of everything? Who knows, the good ole wendouree lottery!!

I ordered 6 of everything except the Muscat and just received 2 boxes. 1 sixer of Cab Malbec and 1 sixer of Shiraz Mataro.
Can't say that I am over the moon as was hoping for variety but I suppose beggars can't be choosers.

Last year I got 6 of everything except for 24b.

I'm similar to Maverick, green crayon in Vic. but with 7 years on list.
Ordered 6 of all except muscat. Billed today for $471.
Also got 18 bottles last year.

Sounds like Either Cab Malbec or Straight Cab Sav in a 6 pack if you do the math. Probably the Malbec blend that should be interesting.

I got hit for $213. I guess that’s some combination of 3 bottles, but can’t calculate it out. Also must be close to the end…

Ironically, I’m not unhappy with 3, if I got the same every year it’s plenty for me to drink.

Card finally got hit for the first time ever. Based in NSW. Normally after the card gets hit, when do we get the delivery?
