Shipping Policy

Each order is processed in compliance with state and county regulations. All sales are subject to state and local tax rates as well as shipping and handling charges.

Please allow up to 2 weeks for shipping on all orders. All orders must be shipped to a location where someone age 21+ will be available to sign for the package. The shipping address is agreed upon between consumer and Wine Guide when the order is placed, or when consumer places the order via the Traveling Vineyard website. UPS/FedEx are not authorized to leave shipments without obtaining a signature from an adult over age 21.

UPS/FedEx will make 3 delivery attempts before returning shipments to Traveling Vineyard. In the event that a reship is requested, an alternate address where someone age 21+ will be available to sign is required, and additional shipping charges will be incurred. Should a refund be requested for the returned shipment, it will be issued less original shipping costs, will incur a $20 return fee and a $20 restocking fee. All orders are processed at the discretion of Traveling Vineyard.

Traveling Vineyard can reroute shipments for a fee, as long as the package is not already on its way back to the shipping facility and the package is being rerouted to another address within the same state. Traveling Vineyard and/or the consumer can request that a shipment be held at a local UPS/FedEx hub for up to 5 business days, at no additional cost, for customer pick up. UPS/FedEx determines these hub locations, and the person whose name and address is on the package must be the one to pick up the package, bringing a valid form of ID upon package pick up.

Shipments cannot be sent to PO Boxes.

Reshipments

If you wish to have a shipment sent out again due to missing the 3 initial delivery attempts, an additional shipping fee of $30 will apply and, as with the initial shipment, someone over age 21 will need to be available to sign. Additional shipping fees must be paid at time of new order processing.

Returns and Refusals

If you wish to return a product or if you refuse delivery of a shipment, your account will be credited upon receipt of the returned items, less the original shipping cost, $20 return fee and a $20 restocking fee. If a shipment is delivered, signed for, and then a refund is requested, this will be approved at the sole discretion of Traveling Vineyard.

Refunds

Credit card refunds typically take 3-5 business days to process, dependent upon your financial institution’s processing policy. Check refunds will be processed by Traveling Vineyard within 10 business days and then mailed via USPS. Mailing address confirmation is required before a check can be mailed.

Guarantees

All wine & accessories sold by TV are subject to the company quality guarantee for up to six months from the date of purchase. All reports of damage to wine and accessories must be reported to Traveling Vineyard within 6 months of purchase date. If an accessory that is reported as damaged within this 6-month time frame is no longer available, a credit will be issued.

Any wine that is damaged upon delivery will be replaced and any wine determined to be “spoiled” (e.g. corked, leaking, and turned), will be credited to the customer. These situations must be reported to Traveling Vineyard within 6 months of purchase date and are handled by the Traveling Vineyard Support group on a case by case basis. Refund requests received outside of this 6-month reporting time frame are at the sole discretion of Traveling Vineyard.

Traveling Vineyard will always work to make sure that the fairest resolution is found for the Wine Guide and customer. Since each wine is produced/purchased in finite amounts, Traveling Vineyard cannot guarantee to meet demand at all times. If an order is placed for a wine which cannot be provided, Traveling Vineyard reserves the right to substitute a similar type and quality wine for the same price. If a substitute is not readily available, the customer will be contacted. If they elect not to have a substitute, the cost of the order will be reduced accordingly and may impact marketing fees, ongoing promotions, etc. In no case will the Event Host rewards be affected.

Short ships/miss-picks

Short ships (an item is missing) and miss-picks (the correct item was ordered but the incorrect item was sent out) must be reported to [email protected] within 2 weeks of order delivery in order for Traveling Vineyard to resolve. If reported outside of this 2 week window, resolution will be reached at the sole discretion of Traveling Vineyard.

Age Policy

By placing an order, you authorize us to act on your behalf to engage a common carrier to deliver your order to you. WINES MAY BE SOLD ONLY TO PERSONS WHO ARE AT LEAST 21 YEARS OLD, WHO ARE USING THE PRODUCTS FOR PERSONAL USE AND NOT FOR RESALE AND ARE NOT INTOXICATED AT THE TIME OF DELIVERY. BY PLACING YOUR ORDER, YOU REPRESENT TO US THAT YOU ARE AT LEAST 21 YEARS OLD. When your wine is delivered to you, you will be required to show identification proving that you are at least 21 years old. All orders legally require: Drivers License, Military, Passport, or State ID.
