FLORA SPRINGS POLICIES
Online Ordering
Q. Why can't I order online?
A. Either you are in a state that does not allow alcohol to be purchased online or does not allow alcohol to be shipped into the state, or you do not have the correct username and/or password to place an order.
To get your username/password, go to My Account. Click on the "forget your password?" link and get your info emailed to you. You should receive your password immediately, but in some cases it may take longer. Try checking your junk mail folder in case it was marked as spam.
Q. What states do you ship to?
A. We ship wine club and on-site purchases to:
| Alaska (2-day air only) California Colorado Connecticut Florida Georgia Hawaii (2-day air only) Idaho Illinois Indiana Iowa |
Michigan Minnesota Missouri Nevada New Hampshire New Mexico New York North Carolina North Dakota Ohio |
Oregon South Carolina Tennessee (no more than 3 cases/yr, no more than 1 case in a month) Texas Virginia (no more than 2 cases/month) Washington Washington DC West Virginia Wisconsin Wyoming |
Q. What if my state is not listed as a state you ship to?
A. Please call us, we may have a way to help you acquire our wines as these regulations are always changing.
Q. Who do I call about wine club questions, orders, billing and account changes?
A. Please call 800-913-1118.
Q. What shipping methods do you use? Can I request a certain carrier/service?
A. Yes, we want to ensure your wine arrives in a timely and safe manner. We use Golden State Overnight (GSO) for all of California and certain areas of Nevada and Arizona. GSO is the same price as FedEx Ground and it is guaranteed to get there overnight in the entire state of California, Reno metro and Las Vegas metro areas. Arizona will take 2 days. GSO uses air conditioned trucks and move all of their products in the midnight hours, so it will never get hot. If you prefer FedEx Ground or UPS Ground over GSO, we will make that change for you.
For all other states that we can legally ship to, we use FedEx Ground or UPS Ground from October to May. For June-September we ship by FedEx 2-Day Air. For Oregon and Washington we ship Ground all year.
Wine club members have the option to have their summer club shipments held to avoid the heat and the 2-Day Air charge. These held shipments will ship by Ground in late October.
Q. Is there a special option for shipping wine?
A. Yes! FedEx Temperature Controlled Shipping is a new shipping method specifically designed for wine. Wine orders are picked up at Flora Springs Winery by refrigerated trucks. The wine travels in constant refrigeration to a main FedEx hub. Once at the hub, the wine remains refrigerated until transferred to a delivery truck, where it's considered a Priority Overnight package. It will be delivered that same morning, usually by 10:30AM, or Noon for more remote areas. The FedEx Temperature Controlled Shipping will take a week or two for delivery from the date of order. For example:
- Order placed on July 19th
- Order info uploaded to Temperature Controlled Shipping system on July 25th
- Wine picked up on July 28th
- Wine delivered either August 3rd or 4th
Q. Can I "pickup" my wine club shipment?
A. Yes, we love to see you! Will Call Wine Club members can pick up your wines at The Room. You will get a postcard in the mail to let you know your wine is ready. We typically have a 7-week window to pick up your wine. If your wine is not picked up in that window of time, they will be shipped to you, and you will be charged for shipping.
Q. What kind of shipping materials do you use?
A. All wine club orders are shipped in 100% curbside recyclable pulp boxes. For general wine orders, we only use Styrofoam for 12-pack cases. 12-pack recyclable pulp does not hold up with the 40 lb weight.
Our shipping box choices are:
- 1-pack 100% curbside recyclable pulp
- 2-pack 100% curbside recyclable pulp
- 3-pack 100% curbside recyclable pulp
- 4-pack 100% curbside recyclable pulp
- 6-pack 100% curbside recyclable pulp
12-pack Styrofoam
- 1-pack 1.5L Magnum Styrofoam
- 2-pack 1.5L Magnum Styrofoam
- 3-pack 1.5L Magnum Styrofoam
- 6-pack 1.5L Magnum Styrofoam
Q. My wine was damaged - what do I do?
A. If you received a broken bottle of wine please contact us right away.
Q. Do I need to be home to sign for my wine?
A. Flora Springs only sells wine to adults over the age of 21. You must provide a signature at the time of delivery. To ensure delivery we suggest shipping to a business address. Wine is not delivered to PO Boxes.
