Shipping & Handling
SHIPPING POLICY
We use UPS ground service as our standard shipping service. You have the option to upgrade your shipment at checkout.
All shipments containing alcohol must be signed for, therefore it is illegal to ship to a P.O. box.
Taxes are applied at checkout based on your shipping address.
Unfortunately, it is not feasible for us to have licenses in all states. We are currently unable to ship to the following: AK, AR, MS, NE, NJ, RI, UT, VT, or WV. (And DE for offsite orders—see below)’
SPECIAL STATES
ALABAMA: All orders must be shipped to an ABC liquor retail store. This is where you will collect your wine and pay state taxes. Please download the ABC Liquor Store List linked below to find a store near you. Once you know what store you would like your wine shipped to, please email Caston ([email protected]). We must complete an authorization form prior to your wine shipping.
DELAWARE: Customers can only ship to themselves when making an ONSITE purchase. They cannot purchase online and ship to the state of Delaware.
KENTUCKY: Kentucky has created an additional tax associated with out-of-state alcohol purchases of 10% applied to 70% of the retail cost of the purchase. Unfortunately, this is a cost that we will have to pass on to the customer. You will see an additional tax applied to your bill at checkout. Additionally, Kentucky still has “dry zones”, therefore we are required to have our Kentucky customers sign an affidavit confirming that they do not reside in a “dry zone” before shipping any wine. Thank you kindly for your understanding.
2-DAY AIR
For the well-being of your wine, we recommend 2-day air whenever possible; it is available year-round.
1-5 bottles: priced at checkout depending on the quantity of wine and shipping address
6-11 bottles: $20 discount at checkout
12 bottles or more: $50 discount at checkout
