Shipping Policy

At 1031 LIQUOR LLC, we are committed to providing a clear, reliable, and transparent shipping experience for customers purchasing alcoholic beverages through 1031liquor.com.

Because alcohol shipments are subject to federal, state, and local laws, shipping availability may vary depending on the destination. We only ship orders where the sale and delivery of the applicable alcoholic beverage are legally permitted.

2. Shipping Coverage

We currently offer shipping within the United States, subject to product availability, carrier service availability, and applicable alcohol laws.

Not every alcoholic beverage can legally be shipped to every U.S. state or address. If a particular product or destination is not eligible for shipment, we may prevent the order from being placed, contact the customer, or cancel and refund the affected order.

Federal and state alcohol laws take precedence over the shipping information contained in this policy. TTB notes that alcohol shipping requirements can vary between states and that state and local laws must be considered for shipments to consumers.

3. Currency

All prices and shipping charges displayed on our Website are in U.S. Dollars (USD) unless otherwise stated.

4. Order Processing Time

Orders are generally processed within 1–2 business days after payment has been successfully received and the order has passed any applicable verification requirements.

Orders placed on weekends or U.S. public holidays generally begin processing on the next business day.

Processing may take longer during:

  • Holidays.

  • Promotional periods.

  • High-volume sales periods.

  • Severe weather.

  • Carrier disruptions.

  • Age or address verification.

  • Regulatory checks.

5. Order Cut-Off Time

Our standard order cut-off time is:

2:00 PM Eastern Time (ET), Monday–Friday.

Orders received before the cut-off time on a business day will generally begin processing that business day.

Orders received after the cut-off time, on weekends, or on applicable holidays will generally be processed on the next business day.

Processing times are estimates and are not guaranteed.

6. Handling Time

Handling time: 1–2 business days.

Handling time begins after the order has been successfully paid, verified where required, and accepted for fulfillment.

7. Transit Time

Estimated transit time: 2–5 business days after the order has been dispatched.

Actual transit times may vary based on the destination, carrier, service level, weather, carrier volume, and applicable delivery requirements.

8. Total Estimated Delivery Time

The normal estimated delivery timeframe is:

3–7 business days total

This consists of approximately:

  • 1–2 business days: Order processing and handling.

  • 2–5 business days: Carrier transit.

Delivery estimates do not include weekends, holidays, carrier delays, regulatory restrictions, or delays caused by unsuccessful delivery attempts.

9. Shipping Cost

Our standard domestic shipping rates are:

Order Value Shipping Cost
$99.00 or more FREE SHIPPING
Below $99.00 $17.95 flat rate

The qualifying order value is based on the eligible merchandise subtotal before shipping charges, taxes, discounts, and other applicable fees, unless otherwise stated at checkout.

Certain products, destinations, or shipping services may be excluded from promotional free-shipping offers where required by applicable law or carrier restrictions.

10. Free Shipping Conditions

Orders with an eligible merchandise subtotal of $99 or more qualify for free standard shipping where the destination and products are eligible.

If an order is subsequently partially cancelled or refunded and the remaining merchandise value falls below the $99 threshold, we may adjust the shipping charge where permitted by applicable law and disclosed at the time of purchase.

11. Delivery Carriers

Depending on the destination, product, and applicable alcohol-shipping requirements, we may use authorized private carriers such as:

  • UPS

  • FedEx

  • Other authorized delivery providers where appropriate.

The carrier used may vary by order.

We do not use USPS for beverage alcohol shipments. The U.S. Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau states that the U.S. Postal Service does not ship alcohol and identifies private couriers such as UPS and FedEx as alternatives.

UPS requires approved licensed alcohol shippers to have an appropriate agreement and requires Adult Signature Required service for spirits shipments.

FedEx likewise requires eligible licensed alcohol shippers to participate in its alcohol shipping program, and its U.S. alcohol shipments require adult signature service.

12. Adult Signature and Age Verification

Because we sell alcoholic beverages, an eligible adult must be available to receive the shipment where required.

For applicable alcohol shipments, the recipient must be 21 years of age or older and may be required to present valid government-issued identification and sign for the package.

For example, UPS requires an adult age 21 or older to sign for spirits shipments, while FedEx states that an adult signature is required for U.S. alcohol deliveries.

A package may not be delivered if the recipient:

  • Is under 21.

  • Cannot provide acceptable identification when required.

  • Refuses the required signature.

  • Appears intoxicated.

  • Is otherwise legally unable to receive the shipment.

13. Shipping Confirmation and Tracking

Once your order has been processed and shipped, we will generally send a shipping confirmation email containing available tracking information.

Tracking information may take some time to become active after the carrier receives and scans the package.

Customers can use the tracking number provided to monitor the shipment’s progress.

14. Delivery Address

Customers are responsible for providing a complete and accurate delivery address at checkout.

Please carefully check:

  • Full name.

  • Street address.

  • Apartment, suite, or unit number.

  • City.

  • State.

  • ZIP code.

  • Telephone number.

  • Email address.

We are not responsible for delays or failed delivery resulting from an incorrect or incomplete address supplied by the customer.

If you need to change your delivery address, contact us as soon as possible at shop@1031liquor.com. We cannot guarantee that an address can be changed after an order has been processed or shipped.

15. Residential and Commercial Addresses

Alcohol shipments may be delivered to eligible residential or commercial addresses where permitted by applicable law and carrier rules.

Certain carrier services or alcohol-shipment classifications may impose restrictions on the type of delivery address permitted. The applicable carrier and alcohol regulations will control.

16. Failed Delivery Attempts

Because eligible alcohol shipments may require an adult signature, someone who meets the applicable age requirement may need to be present when the carrier attempts delivery.

If nobody is available to receive the package, the carrier may:

  • Attempt delivery again.

  • Hold the package at an authorized location.

  • Return the package to us.

  • Apply applicable carrier charges.

The exact procedure depends on the carrier and destination.

17. Returned or Undeliverable Packages

A shipment may be returned if:

  • The delivery address is incorrect.

  • The recipient is unavailable after the carrier’s permitted attempts.

  • The recipient cannot satisfy age-verification requirements.

  • The recipient refuses the required signature.

  • The shipment cannot legally be delivered to the destination.

  • The carrier determines that delivery cannot be completed.

Returned alcohol shipments may be subject to additional shipping charges.

Refunds for returned shipments will be handled in accordance with our Refunds & Returns Policy and applicable law.

18. Shipping Restrictions

We reserve the right to restrict or cancel shipments where:

  • The destination does not permit the applicable alcohol shipment.

  • The product cannot legally be shipped to the destination.

  • Carrier service is unavailable.

  • Required licenses or approvals are unavailable.

  • The order cannot satisfy applicable age-verification requirements.

  • The transaction presents a fraud or security concern.

  • Shipping the product would violate applicable federal, state, or local law.

We will generally refund cancelled orders for which payment has already been collected, subject to applicable law and payment-processing requirements.

19. Weather and Delivery Delays

Alcohol products, particularly bottled products, may be affected by extreme weather conditions.

Shipping may be delayed because of:

  • Extreme heat or cold.

  • Storms.

  • Hurricanes.

  • Snow or ice.

  • Flooding.

  • Natural disasters.

  • Carrier disruptions.

  • Government restrictions.

  • Other circumstances outside our reasonable control.

We will make reasonable efforts to communicate significant delays when we become aware of them.

20. Damaged or Leaking Shipments

If your order arrives damaged or leaking:

  1. Do not consume a damaged product.

  2. Keep the original packaging and product.

  3. Take photographs of the package and affected products.

  4. Contact shop@1031liquor.com as soon as possible.

  5. Provide your order number and photographs.

Please do not dispose of the product or packaging until we have reviewed the claim and provided instructions.

For additional information, please see our Refunds & Returns Policy.

21. Packaging

We use packaging designed to help protect bottles and other products during transportation.

Depending on the order, packaging may include:

  • Protective bottle inserts.

  • Dividers.

  • Cushioning.

  • Leak-resistant secondary packaging.

  • Strong outer shipping cartons.

Alcohol carriers have specific packaging requirements. UPS and FedEx require appropriate protective packaging for alcohol shipments.

22. Order Changes and Cancellations

If you need to change or cancel an order, contact us as soon as possible.

We will attempt to accommodate requests received before the order is processed or shipped.

Once an order has entered fulfillment or has been handed to the carrier, cancellation or modification may no longer be possible.

Please see our Refunds & Returns Policy for additional information.

23. Taxes and Additional Charges

Applicable sales taxes and other legally required charges may be calculated at checkout based on the customer’s delivery location and the applicable tax rules.

The customer is responsible for applicable charges displayed at checkout before completing the purchase.

24. Shipping Insurance and Liability

Where appropriate, shipments may be subject to carrier protection or shipping insurance.

If a package is lost, damaged, or otherwise affected during transportation, we may work with the applicable carrier to investigate the shipment and determine the appropriate resolution.

Nothing in this policy excludes liability or consumer rights that cannot legally be excluded.

25. International Shipping

International shipping is not currently offered as a standard service.

Orders are intended for eligible destinations within the United States.

If international shipping becomes available in the future, a separate international shipping policy or updated terms will specify eligible countries, customs requirements, taxes, duties, and delivery conditions.
