Shipping FAQ

Everything you need to know about where we ship.

We ship to all other US states, with the exception of KY, MS, NH, ND and UT.

Please note that all wine shipments to Alabama must be sent directly to a state-certified ABC store. (The interstate shipment of hard liquor is prohibited.) All customers must complete an Alabama ABC Shipping Form and can pick up their order(s) there.

For shipments to Hawaii, we are only able to ship non-alcoholic goods directly to the consumer. All alcohol purchases must be sent to an authorized alcohol re-seller with a re-seller’s permit.

Shipping rates will be calculated automatically at checkout. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer international shipping at this time.

Bottles are heavy and can be expensive to ship. Understand how shipping costs work here.

1. Which states do you NOT ship to?

Unfortunately, we cannot ship to Kentucky, Mississippi, New Hampshire, North Dakota, and Utah. We are legally prohibited from shipping any and all types of alcohol to these states at this time.

2. Does my state have restrictions on wine shipments?

In Alabama, all wine shipments must be sent directly to a state-certified ABC store. (The interstate shipment of hard liquor is prohibited.) All customers must complete an Alabama ABC Shipping Form and can pick up their order(s) there.

In Hawaii, we are only able to ship non-alcoholic goods directly to the consumer. All alcohol purchases must be sent to an authorized alcohol re-seller with a re-seller’s permit.

3. Who can receive the package? Can a package be left at my doorstep?

An adult age 21 or older must be present to sign for the package as it is alcohol. A package cannot be left on a porch or doorstep.

4. Who do you ship with?

Our two carriers that we use are GLS (General Logistics Systems) and UPS.

GLS only is available to the following states: Arizona, California, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington.

We can ship via UPS for all other legally authorized states. Regrettably, we do not ship via FedEx.

5. Is there any way to get spirits shipped to me, if I do not live in any of the approved states on your website?

In the event that you have a contact that is an authorized alcohol re-seller (e.g. a restaurant with a bar, liquor store, country club that has an ABC license) that would be willing to accept a package on your behalf, we would be happy to ship to that establishment (upon verification and receipt of re-seller’s permit).

6. Do you always ship orders immediately after processing them?

We make every effort to ship out all orders as quickly as possible once they have been processed. However, there are times when weather conditions can potentially damage the wine in transit. We strongly suggest that orders be held in-store when weather conditions continuously exceed 80°F or continuously fall below 25°F. If you have selected ground shipping as your method, we will highly reccommend expediting shipping or holding until weather conditions improve.  


When customers opt to proceed with shipping against advisement, Artisan Wine and Spirits will not accept responsibility for damage that items may suffer due to extreme temperatures in transit and will not replace these items at our expense.

7. Can you ship to a P.O. Box?

We are unable to ship to PO Boxes, since all alcohol deliveries require a signature from an adult over the age of 21.
