This Shipping Policy explains how IV20 (“we,” “us,” or “our”) processes, ships, and delivers orders placed through drinkiv20.com (the “Site”). Because we sell alcoholic beverages, shipping is subject to legal requirements that may not apply to other online retailers. By placing an order, you agree to the terms below.

1. Age Requirement for Delivery

All recipients must be of legal drinking age (21 or older in the United States). Alcohol shipments require an adult signature upon delivery.

• The carrier will request valid government-issued photo ID at delivery to confirm the recipient is 21 or older.
• Packages cannot be left unattended. Someone 21 or older must be present to sign for the delivery.
• If no eligible adult is available, the carrier will attempt redelivery according to its policies. Packages that cannot be delivered after the carrier’s final attempt may be returned to us.
• Orders refused at delivery, or returned because no eligible adult was available to sign, may be subject to return shipping costs and restocking fees.

2. Order Processing

Orders are typically processed within [INSERT, e.g., 1–2] business days after the order is placed and payment and age verification are confirmed. Orders placed on weekends or holidays are processed the next business day.

• Processing times may be longer during high-volume periods, promotions, or holidays.
• You will receive a confirmation email when your order ships, including tracking information where available.
• We reserve the right to cancel or hold any order that fails payment authorization, age verification, or compliance checks.

3. Shipping Methods and Delivery Times

We offer standard ground shipping only. We do NOT offer overnight, next-day, same-day, or expedited shipping.

This policy applies to all orders. Because alcohol requires an adult-signature delivery and is subject to carrier and regulatory handling requirements, expedited and overnight services are not available for any product on the Site, regardless of any request.

Estimated delivery times after processing:

• Standard ground shipping: [INSERT, e.g., 3–7] business days, depending on destination.

Delivery time estimates are not guaranteed. Transit times depend on the carrier, destination, weather, and other factors outside our control.

4. Shipping Rates

Shipping charges are calculated at checkout based on the destination, package weight, and order size. Any applicable taxes and fees are also shown at checkout before you complete your purchase.

• [INSERT any free-shipping threshold, e.g., “Free standard shipping on orders over $X”, or delete this line]
• Promotional shipping offers, where available, apply only to standard ground shipping.

5. Where We Ship

We are only able to ship alcohol to states and localities where such shipments are permitted by law, and where we hold the necessary licenses or permits.

• We ship to the following states/regions: [INSERT LIST OF STATES YOU ARE LICENSED TO SHIP TO].
• We do not ship to: [INSERT EXCLUDED STATES], PO boxes, APO/FPO/DPO addresses, or international destinations.
• If you place an order for a destination we cannot legally ship to, the order will be canceled and refunded.

Shipping availability is subject to change as laws and our licenses change.

6. Weather and Temperature Holds

To protect product quality, we may delay shipments during periods of extreme heat or cold. If your order is placed during such conditions, we may hold it until conditions improve or ship with additional protective packaging. We are not responsible for product affected by temperatures during transit once an order has shipped.

7. Tracking Your Order

Once your order ships, you will receive a tracking number by email. You can use it to monitor your shipment and the expected delivery date. Please ensure an eligible adult will be available to sign at the delivery address during the carrier’s normal delivery hours.

8. Lost, Damaged, or Delayed Shipments

• Damaged items: If your order arrives damaged, contact us within [INSERT, e.g., 48 hours] of delivery with photos of the packaging and product so we can assist with a replacement or refund where appropriate.
• Lost shipments: If tracking indicates a delivery problem or your package does not arrive, contact us so we can open an inquiry with the carrier.
• Delays: We are not liable for delays caused by the carrier, weather, customs, incorrect addresses, or failed delivery attempts.

9. Incorrect or Incomplete Addresses

Please ensure your shipping address is accurate and complete. We are not responsible for orders delayed or lost due to an incorrect or incomplete address provided at checkout. Address corrections after shipment may incur additional carrier fees.

10. Returns and Refunds

Due to the nature of alcohol sales and applicable laws, returns may be limited or unavailable. Please review our Returns & Refunds Policy [INSERT LINK] for full details. Where returns are permitted, items must be unopened and in their original condition.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Shipping Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last Updated” date above. Your continued use of the Site after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
