Argyle's Summer & Winter Shipping Policies

Extreme heat and cold can ruin wine.

Extreme heat and cold can ruin wine. Typically, boxes of wine sent by Ground service will travel on trucks not outfitted with temperature controls in the cargo areas. If it's 35° or even 90° outside, the extended hot/cold effects can damage your wine. This is unacceptable to us (you'll probably agree), so we take measures to prevent temperature-related damage.

From mid December to mid February

Argyle's winter shipping policy will be in effect. We'll be paying cautious attention to Ground shipments to colder states like Washington, Idaho, etc. If Ground shipments are an unsafe bet, then we'll either hold your wines in our temperature controlled cellar until the cold weather breaks, or we'll contact you to arrange Overnight shipment (prices vary). If you're in one of the cold zones, your best bet is to select Overnight shipping when placing your wine order.

From late June to late August

Argyle's summer shipping policy will be in effect. We'll be paying cautious attention to Ground shipments to hotter states like Arizona, Texas, etc. If Ground shipments are unsafe, then we'll either hold your wines in our temperature controlled cellar until the hot weather breaks, or we'll contact you to arrange Overnight shipment (prices vary). If you're in one of the hot zones, your best bet is to select Overnight shipping when placing your wine order.

Recap:

During the summer and winter we HOLD Ground shipments if the weather is too hot or too cold. Overnight orders will be shipped immediately. We cannot be held responsible if you demand Ground shipment and the wines travel in a climate outside a safe temperature range.
