First and foremost, if you order from us you are representing to us that you are at least 21 years of age and that the person to whom it is being shipped is also at least 21 years old. An adult signature will be required upon delivery. We can no longer accept any requests to waive adult signature requirements on any package going to a residence or to leave the package at another address, etc. Your best alternative is to ship to a business where someone will be available to sign during business hours. Or, have the package shipped to a friend or neighbor who you know can be home to sign for the package. Or, we can usually time the delivery to arrive on a Saturday, just let us know. Fedex will attempt to deliver the package three times. If no one is home they will return the package to us and you will be liable for the original shipping charge plus the shipping charge to return it to us.

Second, title to the wine you order passes to you as soon as it leaves our doors; it is up to you to know the relevant laws in your state.

Third, we cannot ship wine to PO Boxes or APO addresses. We do ship to Mail Boxes Etc./The UPS Store type stores where you may have a designated box.

Currently, we ARE NOT shipping to: AK, GA, HI, IN, KY, MA, ME, MD, TN, PA, PR, UT and WY. We do not ship internationally. The following chart shows our wine ground shipping rates for standard 750ml bottles. Shipping rates for other items and methods will be shown to you at checkout.

Most orders can be processed by the day following your online entry of the order. We can usually ship your order within 2 to 4 days (not including holidays and weekends). Depending on your location, the shipment will then take an additional 1-5 days in transit. If there will be a delay longer than that, we will let you know immediately via email.

We are shipping 2 day air, 3 day air and ground to all locations. We urge you during the summer months to use 2 or 3 day air especially if you are far away from NJ and live down south. We know air shipping is expensive but your wines should arrive in good condition due to less time sitting in a truck on the highway!

There has been some confusion about shipping companies and how they compute days. If we send a package on Friday using 2-day air, the shipping companies do not count the day we give it to them. Then, they do not count weekends as shipping days, only weekdays. So, this hypothetical package that was sent on Friday actually arrives on Tuesday and they consider it to be delivered on time...even though it actually took 5 days to get there! Please take this into consideration while waiting for your delivery. In addition, we usually ask the carriers to send out an email to you that includes the tracking number so you can track the package yourself.

Our shipping is done in containers that hold 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, or 12 bottles of wine. To make the most of your shipping dollar, you should order in those quantities as a 7 bottle order will ship in a 12 bottle container and cost about the same to ship.

SPECIAL WEATHER NOTE: Please note that it's your responsibility to know the weather conditions in your area when you order wine to be shipped to you. If it's too hot in your region when you place your order, we'll be happy to hold your wine until conditions are right for you to have it shipped. We offer this service at no additional charge and will hold it until Fall if you prefer. To notify us of this, simply put a note in the Special Shipping Instructions at checkout or reply to your order email confirmation. If you want your wines immediately, consider using 2-day or 3-day air.
