Weather Issues

All orders are filled and shipped as quickly as possible. But, weather does play a part when shipping wine. We will do our best to get you your wine as quickly as possible. Delivery times (for ground) are figured by few different factors, shipping zone the wine is going to, day of the week the order is taken, and weather. Wine is not shipped out ground on Thursday or Friday. If shipped out on Thursday or Friday there is a very good chance that the wine will be sitting in a non temperature controlled warehouse for the weekend. We do everything possible on our end to protect our wine shipments from temperature-related damage. If you are concerned about the weather in your area you may choose a faster shipping method. You will receive an email containing tracking information once your order is boxed and ready for shipment. Please note these tracking numbers will not be active until they are scanned by the driver. (For example, if you have an order scheduled to ship on a Monday, we may box it on a Friday and send you the tracking info. However, the tracking info will not be valid until the driver picks it up on Monday.) *Please note, during extreme heat during the summer months, we may hold shipments to your area here in our warehouse. If you feel this may be a problem because of a time sensitive package, please call our customer service department at 954-523-9463 to discuss other options.

Signature Policy

To ensure your wine is delivered on the first attempt we strongly recommend you use a business address where there is a person at least 21 years of age available to sign for your package. By law wine cannot be left without a signature from a person at least 21 years of age. We cannot refund any shipping charges (if applicable) for a shipment returned to us because of no adult available for signature. A couple of other restrictions are: Wine cannot deliver to a P.O. Box and a package will not be delivered to a person who is considered intoxicated by the driver.
