REMINDER

Post by Roy Hersh »

Just a quick reminder: The FTLOP "Subscriber's Only -- Buying Opportunity" that's available in the UK, EU and USA ... begins today. You have one week to receive the prices that were listed in the recent newsletter. Take advantage of this fantastic opportunity to obtain some beautiful Port and Douro wines at prices likely to never be seen again! First come, first served ... until sold out. Good luck!

I went to the web site and there is no special pricing listed, just normal retail. Tried calling but got no answer. [help.gif]

+1

I left them a message with my order (it rings a good 6 times before the answering machine picks up), but it seems that they're not open today so I'll have to call again tomorrow to confirm.

I just sent an email to both the importer and also the guy who runs the website. I expect to hear back from them ASAP and will post info here.

I was also able to navigate to the Subscriber's Only Port and DOC wines without reference to FTLOP.

I spoke to the powers that be and they are currently fixing pricing as they accidentally loaded the retail prices, which were not correct for us. So on Monday that will be all ready to go on the website. They will extend the dates by 24 hours to make up for today's mix up. Sorry about that. This was totally out of my control. But glad they were working on this a couple of hours ago when we last spoke.

Thanks for your patience!

Roy

Yep, that's what I was able to see earlier.

I am very glad this all worked out well, beyond the one glitch.

Please do not mention the name of the retailer or producer. I've edited any previous posts where either of those names were mentioned. That's solely to protect the integrity of the program, and more so, to ensure the cases that were brought into stock, go first and foremost to subscribers. Anything left will be offered at the retail prices to anybody interested. However, subscriber's see how much of a difference that can make. Enjoy the wines and savings! [cheers.gif]

I got a mass emailing advertising Champagne and Port for the holidays. The offering with the FTLOP prices were listed, so it looks like the offering is available to the general public.

That lasted just a fairly short while; painful as it was for all! [imnewhere.gif]

I cannot get the website to work. I'm entering the term as per the newsletter, but am not getting to where I need to go. Anyone having this issue or am I just doing something wrong, or are they sold out?

Just saw your post Bryan. The offer is over but when I went there right now (early a.m. Sunday) there are no search results for Quevedo. So not sure what the issue was/is. Very sorry.
