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.
We can hold for up to two weeks during the regular shipping season, and for an extended period of time during the summer season. If you have a specific ship date, choose a shipping option at checkout, and put your requested ship date in the shipping notes box. If you want to hold for the summer and ship in the fall when temps cool, please email help@firstbottlewines.com.
