DELIVERY AND SHIPPING POLICIES
We currently ship out to all states in the United States and Internationally.
Each state and country sets its own laws as to the shipment or delivery or (of not or) beer, wine, or alcohol. Your state or country may have laws that restrict or ban such actions. As a responsible licensee, we must follow the law in each state and we respect the law of each jurisdiction. In the meantime, you can try to purchase or special order our products through our online store.
Customers are responsible for providing a valid address including a phone number where someone 21+ can sign for a package.
If you miss the first attempt at delivery please call the number provided on the missed delivery notice to set up a better delivery time.
A NOTE ABOUT SHIPPING COSTS
To address customer concerns please be aware of the following:
Shipping companies apply more than 1 surcharge to our shipments – one for alcohol and one for the adult signature that is required. Both of these surcharges are on top of the regular shipping rates they charge us.
In addition, if you are ordering liquid, please be advised the weight of liquid adds to the shipping cost. That’s just the nature of the industry.
As a small business, we cannot afford to consume the cost of shipping in all instances, although from time to time we run internet specials for customers who spend above a certain amount to assist in offsetting the cost of the shipments. But, we do not add a profit-generating markup to your shipping charge; we charge you what the shipping company charges us.
Therefore, please do not be surprised if the cost of shipping is higher on certain orders for a basic shipment.
Note: We have found that the cost to ship 2 or more bottles is almost the same as shipping just 1 bottle. So, if you are looking to spread out your shipping costs, consider buying more than 1 bottle to make your shipping charges more cost-effective.
And if you really like our products, but you don’t want to pay to ship, please consider asking for a shipping Coupon at Checkout. Those requests help!
Thank you again for supporting our small, family-owned business. Cheers!

BUYING AND SHIPPING ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES

The purchaser acknowledges that he/she is legally entitled to take possession of wine/spirits, that they have obtained any required permission, paid any required fees or sales tax within their state and is working through properly licensed intermediaries (where required).
We can ship to residential and business addresses, though many customers prefer a business address, as not to miss a delivery, since all alcohol shipments require an adult signature upon delivery. This is required by law, no exceptions.
The courier or carrier and delivery time will vary depending on which State we are shipping to.
The delivery address must have someone over 21 years of age to sign for the shipment, so we cannot use PO boxes. We also cannot send to schools or universities.
Each single shipment is deemed to be 1 box and cannot exceed 12 bottles shipment except on special cases. After the bottle limit of 12 has been reached, each new shipment will price will be set for any additional bottle. Please note that multi box shipments can be dispatched but may have to be within a few days of each other.
Your shipping fees include all taxes and FDA fees where applicable but exclude customs charges. You will be charged for this when you request a quote. Additional restrictions may apply to shipping, where this is the case you will be advised in advance on your custom quote.
