Wineing Butcher

I think the owners of the Wineing Butcher may soon be Wneing themselves when they lose customers due to very high prices.

Bought tips Memorial weekend at Hannafords in Meredith I believe they were around 7.99/lb They were very tender and tasty everyone who tried them loved them.

I love the Wineing Butcher but their current price structure is way out of line with the current market price. I consider their product to be a premium product and I"m willing to pay a little more for it. But numerous posters here have expressed great recent satisfaction with tips that they purchased locally for $6.99 to $8.99 a pound. Few in their right mind are going to pay double the going price no matter how good it is!

For what it's worth the online price of Wineing Butcher tips is 2 x 1 lb packages for $23.98. This puts the cost at $11.99 per pound. Why do they expect customers to pay an extra $3.00 per pound for the honor of picking it up fresh and at the store? It makes no sense as the labor and associated costs involved to package and ship this product far exceed those of handing it to a customer fresh from the case.

As a business person you always want to and are entitled to a fair profit. When you decide your margins need to be substantially greater than your competition it is a step on the road to business failure. I hope that doesn't happen here as the people who started the business are good folks. I'm not sure what their current interest is in the NH Stores. .

Not really. There must be shipping costs but I understand your point.

I tried to place an online order to get all the exact shipping cost info but their site won't allow you to complete an order to the point of determining shipping charges without adding bank account info or CCD info.

For what it's worth their E com site does not have a SSL certificate and is not secure. I couldn't even access it from my network managed computer at work as the security setting block non SSL sites. I connected with a personal laptop in an attempt to validate my info.

Again some poor business practices by having a non secure website. I"m surprised because Andrew and Gretchen are smart enough to know better than that! This makes me further wonder who is operating the website and where it would ship from.
