Alcohol FAQ
All shipments and deliveries containing alcohol require an adult signature and/or verification of a valid government-issued photo ID upon delivery (21 years or older).
Alcohol shipping is just like if you went to the liquor store to buy the product. The carrier will bring it to your house where you must sign for it and present an ID that shows you are over 21. If you are intoxicated or cannot produce a valid ID, they will not give it to you. If you aren’t home when they come, they will not just leave it there. Instead, there will be two more delivery attempts, or you can have it redirected to pick up at your local access point.
Someone 21+ with a photo ID must be present at the time of delivery to sign. If someone 21+ is not home, the carrier will make two more attempts to deliver. If the 3rd attempt is unsuccessful, the order is returned to us.

All partners maintain shipping and delivery records as required by law.
