Bourbon Battalion Shipping & Cancellations & Refund Policy

Age & Legal Compliance

You must be at least 21 years of age to place an order. A signature from an individual 21 years or older is required upon delivery. Valid government-issued photo identification must be presented at the time of delivery.

By placing an order, you affirm that you are of legal drinking age and understand that the customer is solely responsible for compliance with all applicable local, state, and federal laws regarding the shipment and receipt of alcoholic beverages.
We reserve the right to cancel and refund any order if we believe it violates shipping or alcohol regulations in your area.

Shipping Restrictions

No deliveries on weekends (Saturday or Sunday).
We cannot ship to P.O. Boxes or APO/FPO addresses.
All alcohol orders are processed and fulfilled by licensed ABC third-party retailers on the Bottle Nexus network. The checkout functionality is provided solely for the convenience of our consumers.
We only ship within the United States and currently cannot ship to the following states:
UT / SD / HI / AK

Shipping Options

We ship via FedEx, UPS, and GLS (GSO). Available shipping methods include Ground, 2-Day Air, and Next Day Air.
Because all alcohol deliveries require an adult signature and ID verification, we highly recommend shipping to a business address to avoid missed deliveries.

Orders placed on weekends or holidays will begin processing the following business day. Please allow additional time during peak seasons (e.g. Black Friday, Christmas, or major sales events).
Ground Shipping: 2-10 business days in transit, depending on location.
Expedited Shipping (2-Day / Next Day): Orders placed before 4 PM PST ship the next business day, pending item availability.

Please note that real-time inventory levels may vary. We do our best to fulfill all orders promptly.

Free Shipping Policy

Free shipping promotions, when available, apply to one box (typically 6-12 bottles, depending on size and weight) via standard ground shipping only.
If your order exceeds this limit, an additional shipping charge may apply.

Orders over $150 may qualify for free ground shipping at our discretion. In rare cases where shipping costs exceed profitability, Bourbon Battalion reserves the right to:
(A) Cancel the order
(B) Request shared shipping costs
(C) Adjust the order to balance fulfillment costs

We appreciate your understanding - we are an independent, family-founded company, not a mass retailer, and these policies help us maintain quality service and fair pricing.

Refund & Return Policy

All sales are final.
Due to state and federal alcohol laws, we cannot accept returns or offer refunds once a product has been shipped.

Exceptions are made only if a product is damaged, spoiled, or otherwise unfit for consumption upon arrival, as permitted under California law.
If you receive a damaged or defective product, please contact us immediately at
sales@longhornwineandspirits.com
We take pride in our customer service - if an issue arises, our team will work with you to ensure a satisfactory resolution whenever possible.

Undeliverable Packages

If a package is returned to us because it was undeliverable (e.g., recipient unavailable for signature, incorrect address, or failure to pick up), the customer will be charged for all shipping costs, including the return shipping fees billed by the carrier.

Please ensure all shipping details are correct and that an adult is available to sign for the delivery.
