UPS Requirements
Wine Contract Addendum A - UPS Approved Destination States for Wine Shipments
Permissible Shipments
The ability to ship wine depends upon the nature of the shipper's license to sell wine, and the laws of the destination states. UPS permits the
following types of wine shipments:
Licensed to Licensed
Shipments of wine from licensed shippers may be shipped to licensed consignees, where permitted by applicable law. For example a licensed
manufacturer may ship to a licensed distributor, or a licensed distributor may ship to a licensed retailer, so long as the shipments are made
in accordance with applicable law. "Licensed to Licensed" shipments cannot be made to consumers.
The winery holds all required licenses or permits in the destination state;
The wine was purchased at the physical location of the winery (not by mail, internet, etc.);
The winery verified that the purchaser is of legal age to purchase wine;
The wine is for personal use only and not for resale; and
The winery lists the purchaser as the consignee
Refer to Addendum A of the UPS Agreement for Approved Wine Shippers for approved Winery On-Site Purchase States.
UPS Requirements
What are the requirements for licensed entities to ship wine via UPS?
Contractual Service Only
All shippers who wish to ship wine must enter into either the UPS Agreement for Approved Wine Shippers, or the UPS Wine Industry
Fulfillment House Agreement For Approved Wine Shippers. UPS DOES NOT ACCEPT SHIPMENTS OF WINE FROM SHIPPERS WHO HAVE
NOT ENTERED INTO ONE OF THESE AGREEMENTS.
Learn how Quantum View Notify (/us/en/services/tracking/quantum-view/notify.page?) enhances your Delivery Confirmation Adult Signature
Required residential wine shipments.
UPS recommends that wine shippers use Quantum View Notify® for Delivery Confirmation Adult Signature Required wine shipments.
UPS sends a shipment notification email to the recipient informing them when the wine shipment will be delivered so that an adult at
least 21 years of age can be available to complete the delivery.
Quantum View Notify is provided at no additional charge.
Approved wine shippers may use the UPS Hold for Pickup (HFPU) service for consumers who would prefer to pickup their wine shipments
from a UPS Customer Center location. When picking up the package, the recipient is required to present a government-issued photo ID, such
as driver's license, passport, military ID, permanent resident card, or alien registration card to verify that the recipient is 21 years of age or
older. If the recipient fails or refuses to present proper identification (or is not 21 years of age or older), the wine shipment is considered
undeliverable and returned to the shipper.
Approved wine shippers may use the Ship to a UPS Access Point® location (S2AP) service in conjunction with Adult Signature Required
(ASR) for consumers who prefer to pick up shipments from UPS Access Point locations. To ship wine to a UPS Access Point location, shippers
MUST use a UPS Locator tool and the "Accepts Restricted Articles" filter to select an approved destination UPS Access Point location.
Shippers must also use approved UPS Access Point Adult Signature Required labels for wine shipments sent to UPS Access Point locations.
Wine shipments cannot be rerouted to UPS Access Point locations once in transit. At pickup, the recipient is required to present a
government-issued photo ID matching the recipient information on the UPS Access Point label to verify that the recipient is 21 years of age
or older and is authorized to receive the package. If the recipient does not present proper identification, is not 21 years of age or older, or
does not collect the package within the time required for pickup of UPS Access Point location packages, the shipment will be considered
undeliverable and returned to the shipper.
