Monthly $4.99 Membership & Casemates
4Yesterday I rambled on about our past Membership plans over on the Meh.com forums and today we’ve rolled out our latest Membership to all our stores for unlimited standard or flat rate shipping.
If you’re grandfathered in to VMP, either by kickstarter award or by monthly subscription, you may stay enrolled and enjoy a few added benefits that it has (10% discount on MorningSave, special reserve of inventory at Meh).
At Casemates, with standard $8 shipping and $12 case shipping, the value is higher per-order, but the frequency of events is fewer within a month to participate in. Obviously enrolling will save you $3.01 or $5.01 on your first order, so it’s easy to recommend. We hope you will stay subscribed, enjoy more wine and explore other stores.
Free Standard Shipping on Casemates will not include any Summer-shipping enhancements including expedited shipping options.
MorningSave’s flat rate shipping went up to $7.99 for 1 hour of orders. (Meh’s is staying $5 standard shipping per order.)
You may enroll at anytime while placing an order for $4.99. You may cancel anytime and we’ll waive your current month charges (you’re billed in arrears) but your benefits end when you cancel.
thanks - let us know if any questions

We are finalizing our business plans for summer. i can tell you with confidence that historical summer shipping precautions/enhancements will be implemented and it will be included in the offer price and likely not charged extra. We are looking at implementing an extra charge for additional precautions (2 day out of our warehouse with additional freezepacks) for an extra charge to all buyers. this is outside VMP privileges. i personally don’t think you need to pay for this, as the “standard” summer precautions have proven to be very effective, but hey it’s your money. stand by for more info.
@Winedavid49 @snapster
Thanks for some additional info. Agree with others, the first message release was so confusing I just tuned out.
Do we get to see those legacy frozen catsup packs again?
@Winedavid49 Thank you! Will there be an announcement when this begins? We are good bf to take a break from ordering for now as it’s been on the 90’s this week and we know the last shipment we picked up may have already seen more warmth than we would like.
@Winedavid49 Hoping to hear more soon…
@Winedavid49 …?
@chipgreen @Winedavid49 soon…ish.
@chipgreen we are currently in “specific day” shipping mode. we time the release of the packages to ensure consistent movement (not sitting in warehouse) during it’s journey. this will continue for the next ~2 weeks. After that, our proven summer shipping precautions will be implemented. Also, we are finalizing an upgraded service (for a fee) to be rolled out in conjunction. i personally don’t think it’s needed. the summer shipping precautions are enough.
Say what, now?
Guess I will be saving a lot of money this summer.
@chipgreen Pretty sure that’s the non-VMP membership he’s talking about. (They very clearly said VMP gives “free shipping”, not “free standard shipping” when they did the Kickstarter.)
@mother @snapster Hmmm, perhaps I was a little too hasty? Maybe it’s just the monthly memberships that will get the unenhanced “free standard shipping”.
Some clarification would be nice…
@chipgreen yes just the 4.99 membership, not vmp. VMP does not change.
You really need to clarify what “summer shipping enhancements” are. Is it like woot where a temperature controlled truck goes to multiple next-day hubs and wine is delivered not cooked? That was included in “shipping.”
If it is not, then no one will buy wine during the summer, and I doubt wine makers want some people getting wine that was abused and others getting it correctly delivered. That’s no good for the brand.
Why didn’t you just say “legacy VMPs free shipping will not include two day shipping which we will make available during the summer months?” No one would be questioning. Instead it sounds like there are multiple tiers and options that may or may not be included.
@KNmeh7
Unfortunately for some of us, they were not all “next-day hubs”.
Sorry, what “Summer-shipping enhancements including expedited shipping options.”?

Will I get an alert when my MVP status is about to expire?
if I can’t be an MVP at home or work, payin’ $5 a month to be an MVP on the internet seems a no brainer.
@browncj7 1) look under your account and see when it expires. 2) it will auto bill you $5 when its due. Most likely Jan Feb March 2019
@browncj7 If you received free VMP as a kickstarter backer reward and you were NOT a current VMP member already, your VMP will Expire in Jan/Feb 2019. We’ll reach out before it expires and let you know your options. If you’re in this category, your account page says “Your VMP Membership is free.”
If you were a current VMP, then your VMP will simpy revert back to a paid VMP account in Jan/Feb 2019. If this is the case, you can see your VMP renewal dates on your account page.
