SHIPPING FAQ
Your shipment of wine requires an adult signature 21+ for the delivery driver (FedEx, UPS) to successfully hand-over the package and mark this delivery as complete. If no one is home to accept the delivery on the first attempt, the carrier will re-attempt 2 more times, typically on the following consecutive delivery days.
Packages not delivered successfully after the 3rd failed attempt will be returned back to us and there will be additional fees incurred to re-ship.
If this is a gift shipping to someone other than yourself, please ensure the recipient understands that someone needs to be home to accept the delivery.
The FedEx/UPS drivers are not allowed to leave your package at your doorstep without a signature. This requirement is mandated by law.

Shipping to a business address where someone is available to accept packages during business hours is always the preferred option. However, if you’re shipping to a residential address and no one is home during the day to accept the package, there are some options! Keep reading below…
Can I change the delivery address once my package has already shipped? Yes. If you need to have us change the delivery address to something other than what was originally submitted, that can be done but only if the new address is within the same state. This service will incur an additional fee.
We much prefer you to utilize one of the following options to manage your delivery once your package has shipped since many of the carriers offer free and convenient solutions:
FedEx Hold-at-Location
If you will not be available during the day to sign for your delivery, we highly recommend using the FedEx Hold at Location service for a free and convenient pick up option at your neighborhood Walgreens or FedEx Office. Only available for packages shipping via FedEx Ground or FedEx Express.
How to request a Hold-at-Location with FedEx:

Does your tracking number begin with “1Z”? If so, that’s a UPS tracking number, which is not supported by FedEx.
UPS Shipping
If your package has shipped with UPS, you can sign-up for the UPS My Choice program via ups.com to gain access to more deliverability tools and the ability to hold your package at a local UPS Access Point (additional fee may apply).

GSO-GLS Shipping
GLS (formerly known as Golden State Overnight) provides fast and cost-effective shipping services on the west coast and we currently offer GLS-GSO as an option within CA.
With GLS-GSO, if the delivery driver happens to miss someone available to accept the package on the first delivery attempt, you can schedule a 4-hour appointment window with them for the 2nd attempt directly by calling 1-800-322-5555.
PRO-TIP: It’s very easy to request an alternate delivery day/time with their live agent chat via their website at www.gls-us.com.
