Being one of the least organised people on the planet, my last minute reaction to deadlines is something which has driven my wife justifiably nuts over the years.
“It is your brother’s 50th in 3 weeks. Are you going to send him some Croatian wine, and if yes, shouldn’t you get it organised?”
Yes, yes.
A week later.
“Have you sent the wine?”
“Not yet. I have a guy who is super efficient. It is too early.”
A week later.
“Have you sent the wine?”
B***** – totally forgot. It was Sunday evening, the birthday was on Friday. I was in trouble.
I went to the site, browsed though the selection, and chose a case of quality Croatian reds – a very nice sampler selection – then placed my order and put my faith in the shipping guarantee of delivery in five business days. Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs, Fri – would it make it on that fifth day or the following Monday?
“All sorted, I proudly announced,” while kicking myself for not organising it sooner.
And that is when the service really started to impress me. First, and most importantly, an update on the delivery date, part of the excellent satellite tracking service which comes as standard.
And on the day itself, a guaranteed delivery time, within an hour. As there was no guarantee that someone would be at home, I emailed back asking them to leave it in the garden shed. And then I refreshed the page to see my final 15 minute delivery time slot.
A supremely efficient service from start to finish, a service to match the quality of Croatian wines on offer and available for shipping anywhere in the EU.
