Shipping & Delivery

Getting your bourbon to your door, safely and legally

Last updated: June 2026

We take great care in packaging and shipping every order. Because we sell alcohol, shipments are subject to state and local regulations. Please review this page to understand how we ship and what to expect.

1. Shipping Eligibility

Due to alcohol shipping laws, we can only ship to states where direct-to-consumer alcohol delivery is permitted. Before placing an order, please confirm that alcohol delivery is legal in your state.

  • We currently ship to select US states where alcohol delivery is legally permitted
  • We do not ship internationally at this time
  • Orders placed from restricted states will be cancelled and fully refunded
  • It is the customer's responsibility to verify local alcohol delivery laws

2. Shipping Rates & Timeframes

Shipping Method Estimated Delivery Cost
Standard Shipping 3–5 business days Calculated at checkout
Expedited Shipping 5-7 business days Calculated at checkout
Express Shipping 1-2 business days

Calculated at checkout
Free Shipping 3–5 business days On qualifying orders (see below)

Delivery times are estimates and begin once your order has been processed and handed to the carrier. We are not responsible for carrier delays.

3. Free Shipping

We offer free standard shipping on qualifying orders. Check our current promotions at checkout to see if your order qualifies. Free shipping is available to eligible US states only.

4. Order Processing

Here’s what happens after you place your order:

  1. Your order is received and payment is verified
  2. Age verification is completed on our end
  3. Your order is carefully packed and prepared for shipment
  4. A shipping confirmation email with tracking information is sent to you
  5. Your order is handed to the carrier for delivery
  6. Delivery is made — adult signature and ID may be required

Orders are typically processed within 1–2 business days. Orders placed on weekends or public holidays will be processed the next business day.

5. Age Verification at Delivery

Because we ship alcohol, an adult signature is required upon delivery. The carrier will:

  • Require the recipient to be present and aged 21 or older
  • Request a valid government-issued photo ID to confirm age
  • Refuse delivery if no adult is available or ID cannot be verified

If delivery is refused or cannot be completed, the package may be returned to us. In such cases, a restocking or return shipping fee may apply.

6. Packaging

All orders are packed with care to ensure your bottles arrive safely. We use:

  • Protective foam inserts and cushioning materials
  • Sturdy outer boxes designed for fragile items
  • Discreet packaging — no alcohol branding on the outside of the box

If your order arrives damaged, please take photos immediately and contact us within 48 hours of delivery at info@bourbonnest.com.

7. Order Tracking

Once your order ships, you will receive a confirmation email with a tracking number. You can use this to monitor your delivery in real time through the carrier’s website. If you have not received a tracking email within 3 business days of placing your order, please contact us.

8. Lost or Stolen Packages

Bourbon Nest is not responsible for packages that are lost or stolen after confirmed delivery. If your tracking shows delivered but you have not received your package, please:

  • Check with neighbors or building management
  • Contact the carrier directly with your tracking number
  • Reach out to us at info@bourbonnest.com and we will do our best to assist
