Order Cut Off Deadlines - Month To Start First Shipment
You have the option of starting each club membership any month you choose. If you select the default, Next Available Month, orders placed after the 15th of each month will commence on the following month.

Special Holiday Ordering Notes: Our Holiday Order Cut off date is extended to the 20th in the month of DECEMBER ONLY. All orders placed after the 20th will commence in January.

Delivery Schedules and Timeframes
All shipments are sent from our consolidation centers between the 15th and 25th of each month via UPS, Federal Express, and several other Ground services. Please allow for 7-10 business days for your shipments to arrive.

Shipment Frequency
You may at any time elect to have your shipment sent bi-monthly, every third month, every fourth month or whatever frequency works best for you by calling our toll free number.

Gift Cards
Simply click on "Gift Card" from any page on the site and you'll be able to print a gift announcement for your gift recipient. If you have any questions what so ever, don't hesitate to give us a call at 800-795-BEER [2337].

Adult Signature Requirements
All beer or wine shipments are sent via UPS, Federal Express or local ground service carriers with an adult signature sticker required on the box. It's best to have your shipments sent to a location where someone will be there to sign for it. Each carrier will make 3 delivery attempts to get your shipment to you and leave a message each time indicating the attempted delivery. After the 3rd attempt, the box is routed to the local consolidation center closest to your shipping address and you'll have ten days to pick it up before it is sent back to our warehouse. If in fact you begin your membership at one location and need to change the address at some point during your membership, you can simply call us at 800-795-BEER [2337] to do so. Additionally, we've intentionally packaged our shipments in a very non-descript, brown corrugated box such that many of our customers are comfortable having their shipments sent to a daytime location. If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to give us a call at the above toll free number.

Shipping Alcoholic Beverages
All alcoholic beverage products purchased are sold in the State of California and legal title passes to the buyer in California effective upon approval of your credit card charge or receipt of your check. Please note that packages may ship from a state other than the state you are shipping to. We make no representation to the legal rights of anyone to ship or import alcoholic beverages across state lines. The buyer is solely responsible for the shipment of alcoholic beverage products. By placing an order with us, you authorize us to act on your behalf to engage a common carrier to deliver your order. Alcoholic beverages may be sold and delivered only to persons who are at least 21 years old. By placing this order, you represent to us that you are at least 21 years old and that the person to whom delivery will be made is also at least 21 years old. When the alcoholic beverages associated with this order are delivered, the person receiving the delivery will be required to show identification proving that he or she is at least 21 years old.

Purchase Agreement

Furthermore, by placing this order, I represent that I am purchasing this product solely for personal use, or as a gift, and are not engaged in any sort of law enforcement activity.

Shipping Outside of the U.S.
Unfortunately, at this time we can not ship outside of the contiguous United States [ie. Not to HI or AK] at this time.

States We Cannot Ship To
There are several states that we cannot ship either beer or wine to including: AK, HI, UT, or other areas where prohibited by law. Many states require the direct shipment of alcohol to be bulk transported into the state where a wholesaler can take possession of it and then it is distributed by a local shipper to a retail customer which is why many organizations are not set up to ship alcohol into certain states.

Returned Shipments
In the event that you are not able to receive your shipment within the three attempted deliveries AND you neglected to pick up your shipment within the allotted period, your box will be shipped back to our consolidation center at which point you have two options. You may either elect to pay a re-packaging/re-shipping fee to have your shipment repacked and resent to you, OR you may elect to have your account credited your monthly charge less shipping and handling charges.

Address Changes/Membership Extension & Terminations
Please call us prior to the 5th of the month to make all account related information changes such as address changes, membership extensions & terminations, or gift accounts desiring to continue their memberships. Address changes made after that time may require a repackaging and re-shipping charge. Direct requests by your or your gift recipient to the shipping carrier to re-route a shipment in transit or address corrections made by the carrier to the to the shipping address that you've provided may incur an additional processing fee of $5.00.

Damaged Shipments
Although we've been shipping fragile products for over 8 years now and have gone through more than 5 box redesigns, we do occasionally have a box that arrives damaged or is returned to our consolidation center damaged. (Less than half of 1 % of our orders is damaged in transit). In the event of a damaged shipment, often the shipping carrier will repack the shipment with the undamaged portion repacked in a box other than our standard shipping box. The newsletter or any printed material in the box will, in most instances, be missing when this occurs. If your shipment arrives damaged, please call us immediately toll free at 800-795-BEER [2337] and report the incident for a prompt resolution.
