Shipping & Delivery
Delivery and Shipping Policies
Domestic and International Shipping
We ship to all states in the United States and internationally. However, each state and country has its own regulations regarding the shipment of beer, wine, or alcohol. It’s important to be aware that your location may have laws that restrict or ban such shipments. As a responsible licensee, we adhere to the laws of each jurisdiction and respect these legal requirements. You can always purchase or special order our products through our online store.
Delivery Requirements
Customers must provide a valid address, including a phone number, where someone 21+ can sign for the package. If you miss the first delivery attempt, please call the number on the missed delivery notice to schedule a new delivery time.
Shipping Costs
To address customer concerns, please note the following:
- Shipping companies apply multiple surcharges to our shipments – one for alcohol and another for the adult signature required. These surcharges are in addition to the standard shipping rates.
- The weight of liquid adds to the shipping cost.
- As a small business, we cannot cover shipping costs in all instances. However, we occasionally offer internet specials for customers who spend above a certain amount to help offset shipping costs.
- We do not add a profit-generating markup to your shipping charge; we charge what the shipping company charges us.
- Shipping costs for 2 or more bottles are nearly the same as for 1 bottle, so consider buying multiple bottles to make your shipping charges more cost-effective.
- Ask for a shipping coupon at checkout to help with shipping costs.

Buying and Shipping Alcoholic Beverages
When you purchase alcoholic beverages from us, you are confirming that you comply with all state and local laws regarding the purchase, transportation, and delivery of wine and spirits. You affirm that you are legally entitled to receive these beverages and have obtained any necessary permissions, paid applicable fees or sales taxes in your state, and are working through properly licensed intermediaries if required.
Shipping Details
We offer liquor delivery to both residential and business addresses. Many customers prefer business addresses to ensure they do not miss a delivery, as all alcohol shipments require an adult signature upon delivery. This is a legal requirement with no exceptions.
The courier and delivery times vary depending on the destination state.
Each shipment is considered one box and can contain up to 12 bottles. If your order exceeds 12 bottles, additional shipments will be arranged, with each additional shipment incurring separate charges. Multi-box shipments can be dispatched but may be staggered over a few days.
Fees and Restrictions
Your shipping fees include all applicable taxes and FDA fees but do not cover customs charges. These charges will be included in your custom quote. Additional restrictions may apply to certain locations, and you will be advised of any such restrictions in advance.

A Note About Shipping Costs
We understand that shipping costs can be a concern, so we want to clarify a few points:
Shipping Surcharges
Shipping companies apply multiple surcharges to our shipments—one for alcohol and another for the adult signature required upon delivery. These surcharges are in addition to the regular shipping rates.
Liquid Weight and Shipping Costs
When ordering liquid products, please note that the weight of the liquid adds to the shipping cost. This is standard across the industry and is something we cannot control.
Our Commitment to Fair Shipping Charges
As a small business, we strive to keep shipping costs fair and transparent. We do not add a profit-generating markup to your shipping charge; you pay what the shipping company charges us. Occasionally, we offer internet specials for customers who spend above a certain amount to help offset shipping costs.
Cost-Effective Shipping Tips
We have found that the cost to ship two or more bottles is almost the same as shipping just one bottle. To make your shipping charges more cost-effective, consider purchasing more than one bottle at a time.
Request a Shipping Coupon
If you love our products but want to save on shipping costs, please consider requesting a shipping coupon at checkout. Your requests help us better understand your needs and provide more value to you.
