Shipping & Processing Schedule
Once your order is placed you will receive notification. We will then process your order and send a confirmation.
Orders are typically shipped within 1-2 days of confirmation unless otherwise noted, depending on day of the week, weather and shiping destination.
Orders with priority shipping or special instructions are shipped in accordance with request.
Orders placed after 5pm EST will process the next shipping day. Sunday orders process the following Monday. Once completed your order will ship via FedEx.
We adhere to a strict shipping schedule. This is to keep your wine safe and ensure it doesn’t spend time in our freight carriers' warehouses, where we have no control over the temperature or condition. Therefore, we only ship wine on certain days, dependant on delivery method, weather and location. Because UPS/FedEx Ground shipments can take 3-5 days, ground orders to the West Coast, Mid-West, and Deep South only go out early in the week. Because UPS/FedEx Ground will not deliver to business addresses on Saturdays, on some days we will only ship to residential addresses.
Protect your wine from Extreme Weather
Shipping wine during the summer and winter months requires extra caution and The Pluckemin Inn is looking out for your wine’s best interests. During seasonal extremes we check weather daily, if things look too hot or cold (daytime highs > 80 / nighttime lows < 45) we hold all ground shipments. You will be notified if your shipment is delayed due to weather. If you need to receive your wine right away Upgrade Your Shipping to 2-Day (Recommended) or Overnight.
Not in a rush… Take advantage of The Pluckemin Inn’s FREE Summer and Winter Storage. During seasonal extremes, we store wine purchased from us for FREE in our temperature controlled facility. At checkout select the labeled option box if you would like us to hold your wines during summer or winter. When temperatures moderate in the fall or spring we will contact you and arrange shipment. It's that simple! The Pluckemin Inn does not take responsibility for damage that may occur in tranist due to weather and/or temperature.
Upgrade to 2-Day or Overnight Shipping
For customers outside the Tri-State area The Pluckemin Inn recommends 2-Day shipping or faster. It doesn't make sense to invest in fine wines and then take the chance of ruining them due to environmental factors during transit, faster and safer delivery generally isn't much more expensive. Upgrade Your Shipping to 2-Day (Recommended) or Overnight. You should also know that we don't make an additional profit on accelerated delivery, but we frequently recommend faster shipping options to our customers outside of the Tri-State area to safeguard their order.
Shipping Insurance is Already Included
Quoted shipping rates already include insurance against theft or damage for the full value of your purchase. As with accelerated shipping we don’t make an additional profit on insurance but do so in our efforts to keep your wine’s best interests in mind!
Estimated Shipping Costs
We ship in boxes that hold 1, 2, 3, 6, or 12 bottles of wine, to get the maximum value for your money order in those quantities. For example, the cost per bottle on a 7 bottle order is higher than a 12 bottle order because we use the same container and the base charge is the same.
Please note figures are ESTIMATED, actual costs will be confirmed with you when your order is placed.
