Can we ship to your state and what are the current rates?

The regulatory environment for shipping alcohol to consumers nationwide is an extremely complex and ever changing landscape. The rules around where we can and can't ship are changing constantly along with the shipping rates. The list of states in our drop down menu at checkout are not representative of where we can legally ship. Please submit your order and our processing team will check it for compliance. If there are any issues with your order we will contact you. To find the current shipping rate, simply add a product to your shopping cart, click on checkout, fill in the ship to state on the checkout page and our shipping calculator will show the available services and rates to that state. 

If you have any questions give us a call! 1-800-331-3005 ext. 258


Shipping Insurance

Insurance is charged to all shipping orders over $100. We charge $1.00 for every $100 for merchandise shipped. This covers only breakage during transport and not ullage or any other problems that occur during transport. When ordering online the insurance is included in the shipping costs. If you have any questions or concerns please contact our shipping department at 1(800)331-3005


Ground Transit Times

HOLIDAY SHIPPING - From December 1st to December 31st no shipments will be guaranteed to arrive in the allotted time frame due to the carriers (i.e. FedEx, UPS and GLS) not honoring guarantees on any service type. This includes Overnight, 2-Day, 3-Day and Ground Services. Should you have any questions about this please contact the store and ask for the Shipping Department or Katie (800-331-3005).

*Transit times are in business days and do not include weekends. The day we ship out your order does not count as a day in transit. Saturday deliveries are possible but not through our website. Please give us a call 800-331-3005 if you need a Saturday delivery.*

In order for Hi-Time Wine Cellars to continue providing our customers with services such as shipping, we must include certain stipulations & articles of agreement. The following conditions relate to the shipping of goods by Hi-Time Cellars. By requesting shipment of any merchandise the consignee agrees to all of the following conditions:

Title to, and ownership of, all wine passes from Hi-Time Wine Cellars to the purchaser in the State of California and the purchaser takes all responsibility for the import of the package from California to his/her home state. Since we own all of our inventory and therefore arrange for transportation of the wine, Hi-Time Wine Cellars is providing a service to, and acting on behalf of the purchaser. By utilizing this service from Hi-Time Wine Cellars, the purchaser is representing that he/she is acting in a fashion compliant with his/her local and state laws regarding the purchase, transportation, and delivery of wine, beer or spirits. By placing an order with Hi-Time Wine Cellars, buyer authorizes Hi-Time Wine Cellars to act on buyer’s behalf to engage a common carrier to deliver the buyer’s order. The purchaser represents that he/she has obtained all required permissions, paid all required fees, is working through properly licensed intermediaries, is legally entitled to take possession of wine, beer or spirits, is legally entitled to take quantities ordered, and authorizes that he/she is 21 years of age. Hi-Time Wine Cellars makes no representation to the legal rights of anyone to ship or import alcoholic beverages into any state outside of California.

Hi-Time Wine Cellars is not liable for any damages to goods caused by weather conditions and other "Acts of God" during transportation. Because weather conditions can change drastically at any time, we also assume no liability for damage caused by changes in weather during transportation. "Acts of God" include catastrophes such as, but not limited to: plane crashes, unforeseeable delays or accidents, destruction due to domestic and international unrest (i.e. riots, war, public enemies) confiscation, quarantine or natural disaster. The experienced staff of the shipping department at Hi-Time Wine Cellars takes every precaution to insure safe transit of goods requested by our customers. If you wish to ship other than as advised by the Hi-Time Shipping department, we will do so only with a completed liability release form, which we can fax or email to you.
