Our Shipping & Delivery Policy

The purchase of alcohol by persons under the age of 21 is prohibited by law. You must be at least 21 years of age to purchase wine or spirits. By placing an order, you are representing yourself to us as a person of at least 21 years of age and the person to whom it is being shipped to is at least 21 years of age. We reserve the right to ask for proof of identity before processing an order. Please be aware that someone over the age of 21 must be available to sign for the package. If no one is available at the time of delivery, the package will not be left. We will not be able to refund any shipping charges if your package comes back to us because there was no adult to sign for the wine. You will need to pick up your order from the store or be charged an additional shipping fee to have packages reship. We cannot ship wine to PO Boxes or APO addresses.  

SHIPPING & DELIVERY

Prices of our wines do not include shipping/handling charges, which vary depending on destination, number of bottles ordered and choice of delivery options.

NOTICE ABOUT PRODUCT IMAGES ON WEBSITE:

Every effort is made by the staff to ensure that product images online are up-to-date (if available). Oftentimes, some customers assume when placing an online order that the product they are buying is exactly the same as the image shown on the website. Pearson's Wine & Spirits is not responsible for any misunderstanding by the customer and we ask that you call us to verify the package type.

In the event that a product is shipped and it is not exactly what the customer wants, we can only accept a return and process a refund when the product is shipped back to the store intact and a 15% restocking fee will be charged.

Orders are shipped by FedEx. Please call for shipping quotes on Overnight, Two Day Service, Larger Size Bottles, & Special Requests. Orders to Alaska and Hawaii cannot be shipped via Fed Ex Ground Service. Insurance and Package cost is included with the first case/package, but there is a $10 package and insurance cost per each additional case/package shipped. If no one over the age of 21 is available to sign for the package and the order is returned to us, it will need to be picked up from the store or an additional shipping cost will need to be paid. Out-of-state orders can only be shipped to the billing address on the credit card used to place the order. Please call with any questions. We reserve the right to verify all out of state orders before processing, including proof of identity and credit card.
