Shipping Regulations & Terms
We can ship WINE to the following states in the continental US:
We currently do not ship internationally.
How do you calculate shipping?
Shipping prices are determined by standard FedEx rates. We do not profit off of shipping costs.
When will my order be shipped?
All orders processed by 8pm will be shipped the next day via FedEx. We do not ship over the weekend or on federal holidays.
In order to make sure your bottles do not sit in extreme weather conditions, we will hold your order until it can be safely delivered. This may include holding it over a weekend to ensure that your package will not sit in a warehouse for that time, as FedEx does not perform regular delivery on Saturdays or Sundays. If you are willing to risk the weather, we will ship your order at your own risk, but we will not assume responsibility for the condition of your products.
How will I receive my wine?
All orders will be appropriately packaged in reinforced, padded boxes. We will not ship in original external packaging (original wholesale delivery case).
All deliveries require an “Adult Signature.” A package containing alcohol must be signed for by persons 21 years of age or older. No delivery can be made to anyone under the age of 21. If no one of age is present for delivery, two additional attempts will be made to deliver the package. After this, the package will be sent back to us at which point we will notify you of the return. If you do not want the package resent, we will refund the cost of the order less shipping fees and a 10% restocking fee
Shipping during inclement weather
SquareWine & Spirits does not take responsibility for packages that are delivered damaged or unsatisfactory due to the weather conditions during shipping. Inclement and extreme weather conditions can damage your wine during hot or cold conditions. Should you have any concern about the weather conditions in your area, you may request a more specific shipping date. Choosing expedited shipping can help alleviate the issue of severe weather damaging your wine, but we do not guarantee it. You may call us at 718.707.9911 with any shipping concerns.
Return Policy
SquareWine & Spirits will replace any bottle of wine that is corked (flawed). We ask that the customer return the bottle, at least 50% of its unused contents, and the cork.
In order to receive a return or exchange you must be a SquareWine & Spirits member.
Defective items may be exchanged or refunded to the original form of payment. If you exchange an item for one of greater value, you will be asked to provide the retail price difference, along with any applicable taxes, at the time of the exchange. We do not issue store credit.
We will only accept bottles for exchange within 30 days of purchase. Items should be accompanied by your original sales receipt.
You may not return spirits once you have left the premises.
Do you sell gift cards?
Yes! Just ask a SquareWine employee and tell them what value you would like added to the card. Our gift cards do not have an expiration date and can be used on any item in our store.
Do you sell beer/tonic water/mixers/cigarettes?
The New York State Liquor Authority issues many different types of liquor licenses depending on what you will be selling and how it will be consumed. A retail wine and liquor shop in NY is only allowed to sell very specific products limited to what is defined as wine and spirits. Any alcoholic product that is considered a malt beverage (beer, wine coolers, etc.) is not permitted to be sold at a wine and liquor store. The separation of license types in our state keeps wine and spirits from being sold in grocery stores and, conversely, keeps mixers and cigarettes from being sold at a retail wine and liquor store
Can I order products that are not carried in the store?
We are always open to researching and ordering new products that our customers love. If you have a request for a specific product that we do not carry in store, let us know and, based on New York State distribution, we can special order most requests. The minimum on special orders is 12 bottles for wine, and 2 bottles for spirits.
Do you host wine tastings, events, or classes?
SquareWine hosts FREE wine and spirit tastings EVERY Friday from 5:30-7:30pm. We also hold themed events and classes throughout the year featuring and fantastic wines and spirits. Ask about our tasting room where you and your friends can have guided wine tastings or parties!
Can you supply my wedding/retirement/bachelor(ette) party?
Absolutely! Our knowledgeable staff, including a Sommelier and Certified Wine Specialist, would love to help make the process seamless from start to finish. We can assist in choosing wines and spirits for your event and even deliver them directly to you, if necessary. We also host off and on site events. Interested? Call us at (718) 707-9911 or email info@squarewine.com.
Can we host our event in your store?
Yes. Our beautiful tasting room can accommodate approximately 20 seated and 35 standing. We can provide wine to drink, sparkling wine to toast with, and help pair any food you wish to provide and have served. Spirits are not permitted to be served in our tasting room. There are also no outside alcoholic beverages permitted in our store. Call us at (718) 707-9911 for details.
