Disclaimer:
Due to the lingering effects of COVID-19, if freight delivers past the Guaranteed transit time, some carriers have suspended their money-back guarantees and are not issuing refunds due to service failures. Freight booked at a Guaranteed rate will still move more quickly than a Standard Rate shipment, however, they may not be able to provide reimbursement if delayed. We recommend viewing your carrier's website and legal rules tariff to confirm their current policy, as the situation is changing rapidly.
Packaging is very important in keeping your freight secure and undamaged. Most carriers recommend using corrugated containers or EPS foam. For shipments of alcohol, please consider the following:
- Carriers can’t pick up or deliver alcohol to a private residence.
- Bill of Lading must be clearly marked with the shipper and consignee names, addresses, and a description of contents including quantities.
- Carriers cannot dispose of any liquor as they do not have a retail license to sell alcohol.
- All alcohol shipments require the signature of an adult 21 years of age or older upon delivery.
- Alcohol containers must be packaged safely to avoid breakage.
