Buyers are responsible for placing order in a timely manner to accomodate their desired delivery window.

IMPACTS ON TRANSIT TIME
Refunds are not offered for delayed delivery by carriers (FedEx, UPS, or other regional carriers). COVID-19 continues to impact transit times nationwide.

WEATHER DELAYS

Perishable products may require overnight shipping to optimize your order’s safety.

We determine Adverse Weather Holds on the advisements of our service providers. In such instances orders held back free up to 30 days until secure and safe shipping is possible.

TRANSIT DELAYS
Transit times and delivery dates are estimates only. Continued impacts related to COVID-19 are resulting in nationwide transit delays and carriers (FedEx, UPS, LSO) are not refunding if delivery is delayed. It’s important to monitor the transit of your shipment on the carrier’s website using the tracking number from your account or in the email you receive on your ship date. Please plan on extended transit times and schedule accordingly.

COVID OR ILLNESS HOLDS
Any order is subject to a covid or illness hold in the event that Chapter 4 or third party transportation service is unable to deliver services, either temporary or long-term. The nature of such holds are unpredictable and prior notice given to our public is not required. Individuals impacted will be notified if an order is under an Adverse Event Hold.

Can I cancel my order?

We completely get it, we change our minds too! While we wish could, unlike most consumer goods our alcohol license has restrictions. These restrictions are different from those governing restaurants and wineries.

Once an order is shipped, we are unable to alter or cancel it. Shipping alcohol requires a state issued license. Common carriers will confiscate alcohol shipments from unlicensed parties.

If you are able to return a purchase to our store in person please contact us before hand for approval. Condititons apply.
