Laws regarding the sale and transportation of alcoholic beverages are complex and constantly changing. The politics, policies and procedures regarding such sales and transportation are different in every state. That is why you are buying from us in California and why title to the alcoholic beverages is passing to you upon purchase. In the event that we may ship wine or other alcoholic beverages to your state in accordance with a state privilege requiring the payment of state taxes, you will be charged the sales tax, if any, assessed by your state for that transaction; otherwise either California sales tax will be assessed on the sale. Title to all product intended for shipment to federal property and Indian reservations passes to the customer when the goods are picked up by the common carrier and California sales tax may be collected on all such purchases. When your order is approved by your credit card company, you own the goods. If you choose shipping as a delivery method, you are asking us to engage a common carrier to deliver your order to you. We make no representations about the legality of shipping alcoholic beverages. Our site lists those states where common carriers will deliver alcohol. You are responsible for compliance with all laws regarding such shipments. You may also make your own shipping arrangements.

All sales are final. If you need to cancel an order, and order has not shipped, a refund may be issued, and 10% fee may apply.

Refunds are not accepted. If you require a refund, please email your request to: support@uptownspirits.com with your reason for return. If a return is allowed, the customer shall pay for all shipping costs and may be subject to 10% fee.

Ground delivery is not recommended for any order. This is because of the potential heat exposure during warm weather conditions and extreme cold during the winter months.
