During our regular shipping season, orders shipping Ground ship within 2-5 business days (oftentimes, even sooner!).
If your state is sent via Third Party Shipping (Refrigerated Ground), orders are shipped each Thursday. You will receive a shipping confirmation email once tracking is available. Tracking is also uploaded to your account the following Monday. Tracking will not show any activity until scanned at your state’s area hub. Once scanned, your tracking link will start to show activity and provide you with an accurate ETA. Delivery is then made within a day or two (occasionally three) depending on your distance from the area hub. Please note that refrigerated shipping takes roughly 1-3 weeks to get to you.
In the summer months (typically May-October), we have summer shipping options available at checkout. We can add an ice pack to the package to keep the wine cool during transit. For orders shipping Ground, the ice pack option is an additional $4 fee. If the Refrigerated Ground + Ice Pack shipping option is chosen ($8 additional fee), orders travel temp controlled to the shipping hub, then an ice pack is dropped in before the shipment goes Ground (non-refrigerated) with the end mile carrier.
If your order isn't received in 10 business days, please email us at shipping@firstbottlewines.com.
