Shipping policy
Note: as of May 4, 2026, we have recent changes in our shipping arrangements that will lead to updates over the coming days as we sort out the impact. Updates will be made here as the revised processes are solidified.
Orders are shipped on the customer specified date or if no date, ASAP. Exceptions are 1) orders specifying "later date" with no date indicated; 2) unfavorable weather conditions anywhere on the shipping route. In such exceptional situations, we will coordinate timing with you. We currently ship to all continental US states except Mississippi and Utah. Ship-to states are subject to change as individual state regulations evolve.
Please note that you can specify a ship date with your order, but not a delivery date. Call us if you have questions about timing.
Carrier
We ship by FedEx and UPS. FedEx is our preference for most shipping. Our fulfillment shipper requires using UPS for certain states. Deliveries to business addresses are possible Monday to Friday. Residential deliveries include Saturdays for UPS and FedEx. In major municipanities, FedEx delivers to residences on Sunday. Please review carrier tracking information to confirm the prospective delivery date.
Shipping Options
Standard options include ground or 2nd day to your address, or hold for later shipping. You may also use a hold/pickup site as your delivery address. We can help you locate the nearest hold site if needed. Other options such as overnight or priority overnight are possible with a phone call.
During the summer, we have, and may use the option of shipping temperature controlled to handoff sites in New York, Missouri, Texas and southern California. Currently, there is no additional charge for this service. It does add time to the delivery, as these shipments only leave Florida on Wednesdays and must be ready for pick up at our site by Tuesday morning. CA, NY and TX shipments get transferred at the Missouri site. These shipments have carrier labels applied in Florida, but the carrier will not have the package until reaching the handoff site.
Please note: 2nd day express orders will typically not be delivered on the weekend. It's best to use this option for shipping Monday through Wednesday; next day can ship on Thursday as well. 2nd day orders placed by 3pm will typically ship the same day.
State Specific Notes
Florida: ground shipments are normally delivered the next day; exceptions are the the Florida Keys, which are 2nd day. Although summer weather is not optimal, we ship Florida orders through the summer. It’s up to you to set alternative timing. Please note, we normally ship Florida orders only Monday through Thursday.
Alabama
Current updates are permitting shipments direct to businesses and residences. We can now bypass the state ABC stores.
Texas
Current updates enable door to door shipments to Texas. During the summer months, we may leverage the same 10-20 day temp controlled path that has been used up to recently for added protection in transit. We can now send 2nd day or overnight to Texas as well.
Rates
We have kept rates competitive. Costs have increased over time and rates may be updated in the future, subject to competitive limits. Current ground rates follow.
Florida:
Eastern/Central US
Western US: (AZ,CA,CO,ID,MT,ND,NM,NV,OR,SD,WA,WY)
Flat express rates are defined for each shipping destination and are less subsidized than ground.
Conditions
An adult over the age of 21 with a valid ID must be present to accept wine deliveries. Your tracking number will be sent to you by email upon shipment. We cannot control time-of-day for your delivery. If your order is returned due to unavailability for delivery, additional charges will apply for reship. Please consider shipping/redirecting to a FedEx Onsite or UPS Store when you are not able to receive your shipment at home. Deliveries to FedEx or UPS sites should specify the carrier name in the shipping address, so we choose the correct shipping carrier.
If there are any problems with your order, either the product itself or an issue during shipping, we will do our absolute best to make sure the issues get resolved with as little inconvenience to you as possible. Always feel free to contact us by email at Contact.RedneckWine@gmail.com or by phone at 813-837-0004 with any concerns.
