Shipping policy

All shipping terms and arrangements will be facilitated through Leon & Son Wine and Spirits, which ships nationwide, except for the following states:

Alabama, Delaware, Maine, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, and Utah.

We do not facilitate international shipping.

By arranging for transportation of your order, Leon & Son is providing a service and engaging a common carrier on your behalf. In utilizing this service from us, you recognize the responsibility for complying with local regulations or tax requirements rests solely with you. You agree that you have the sole and exclusive responsibility for complying with all laws regarding importation of wine into your state or jurisdiction. It is your responsibility to determine (a) whether you may lawfully receive shipment of wine at the delivery address; (b) whether any special permits, licenses, or registrations are required; and (c) whether quantity limits or other restrictions apply. We do not guarantee that shipment to your jurisdiction is lawful or that any required licenses or permits exist. 

Any shipping, delivery, or export services we or our affiliates may agree to arrange are provided solely as a convenience to you. All transportation is performed by independent third-party carriers subject to their terms and conditions. You authorize us to share your information with such carriers as necessary to arrange shipment. 

All packages must be accepted and signed by an adult at least 21 years of age.

You, the buyer, are solely responsible for the shipment of alcohol and responsible for any loss or damage to goods once they have left our premises. By placing an order on this site, you authorize Leon & Son to act on your behalf to engage a common carrier to deliver your order to you and recognize that Leon & Son is not liable for the condition of your package upon delivery. If your package is physically damaged in transit caused by carrier mishandling, we are happy to assist you in contacting the shipping carrier for reimbursement where applicable; however, the responsibility for this reimbursement lies in that of the carrier (FedEx or UPS). Please note that any additional fees for delivery to UPS or FedEx locations (including Access Points), or for redirecting packages after shipment, are the responsibility of the customer.

We do not recommend shipping wine orders during the warmest and coldest months of the year, as extreme temperatures can be damaging. Temperature-related damages—including, but not limited to, seepage, a protruding cork, leakage resulting from heat or cold exposure, or changes to the wine caused by temperature fluctuations during transit—are not considered carrier damage and are not eligible for reimbursement through the shipping carrier. We are happy to hold or send your shipments throughout those periods. Buyers may elect to store their wine by selecting the storage option on their activity page for a monthly fee. It is the buyer’s responsibility to notify us when they are ready to ship their order. If no shipping instructions are provided within 14 days, the order will automatically be enrolled in the storage program and applicable monthly fees will apply.

By selecting and paying for a shipping service, you are instructing us to release your order regardless of weather conditions and acknowledge the risks associated with shipping alcohol, including temperature fluctuations and other conditions that may affect wine during transit.

The carrier (currently FedEx) will contact you the day your order is shipped with your tracking details, shipping date, and anticipated delivery date. 

Shipping orders may take up to 48 hours from the time they are placed to be processed and ready for shipping. Please take this window into account, including for Express and Overnight shipping speeds. All “Ground Shipping” orders placed after 12pm on Thursday will be shipped on Monday the following week, to avoid being held in FedEx/UPS facilities over the weekend where storage conditions may not be ideal. 

Shipping costs are calculated at checkout, and you will be provided with an estimated delivery date. These delivery dates are estimates, and do not account for unforeseen circumstances including shipping delays and lost or damaged packages. In the case of missing FedEx or UPS delivery attempts or if you do not pick-up your wine from an Access Point or FedEx/UPS store within the allotted time and your wine is returned to Leon & Son Wine, you will be subject to any additional shipping fees incurred to have your order reshipped.
