shipping strategies
**Flat Rate Ground Shipping Sept - May. Flat Rate Summer Shipping Program, 1-2 Day Shipping (May- Sept). We use FedEx and UPS.
While we want to ship your order as soon as possible, remember wine and extreme temperatures don’t mix! To help maintain the quality of the wines Standard Flat Rate Ground Shipping is not offered during the summer months, except for California. During the summer months (mid May to October) we use Flat Rate 1-2 Day shipping ONLY (with ICEPACK when needed).
Orders placed today will generally ship within 24-48 hours. Weather and Holidays can delay shipping and maybe placed on hold.

InsulShield boxes - This alternative to foam is engineered to keep wine safe for 72 hours, exceeding the performance of EPS foam while greatly reducing the environmental impact and consumer inconvenience of foam packaging disposal.
Icepacks - Nordic Drain Safe gel packs. They are durable, reusable, and long-lasting poly gel packs. These packs offer the same performance as traditional gel packs with the added benefit of being 100% safe for disposal in a household drain. These are safely processed within municipal wastewater or home septic systems.
