Ordering Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Order Acceptance Policy

Your receipt of an electronic or other form of order confirmation does not signify our acceptance of your order, nor does it constitute confirmation of our offer to sell.  In order to protect the interests of good riddance! and our partners, all orders placed over $5,000.00 (U.S.) must obtain pre-approval with an acceptable method of payment, as established by our credit and fraud department.  We may require additional verifications or information before accepting any order.

Is your on-line ordering system secure?
Yes.  Our complete integrated on-line ordering system have been validated and confirmed secure for online transactions by NetworkSolutions – Secure Site services.  The online order is designed to be secure and utilizes SSL security technology.  This means that any information you send us is protected by encryption.  You can tell when you are protected by encryption [the lock or key at the bottom of your browser changes color or is no longer broken (although this varies depending on your browser)].  If you experience fraudulent use of your credit card you must notify your credit card company in accordance with its reporting rules and procedures..
What methods of payment does good riddance! accept?
We accept Mastercard, Visa, and American Express.
Do you keep my credit card information on file?
After the sale hase been approved, we don't keep records of your credit card number in our system.  You will need to enter it each time you place a new order.
Why am I taxed for out-of-state beverage purchases?
By law, many states require that local sales tax be added to alcoholic beverages even if purchased outside of that state.  In some states, alcohol may have its own tax rate which differs from the base sales tax rate.
How does the good riddance! customized ordering system work?
Shipping wine can be fairly complicated and administratively expensive on small wineries such as ourselves.  Please understand that there are multiple layers of federal and state rules, regulations and reporting requirements that we must follow regardless.  Therefore, we have partnered with industry leaders in wine selling and shipping to make your ordering experience much easier and less painful.

Our online ordering partner WineWeb has integrated their order entry system securely into our website.  Once the customer has completed the sale, the system automatically generates a unique order and we are immediately alerted.  In turn, we have integrated our own secure ordering system into our administrative and regulatory partner VinoShipper.  They own the licenses for those states that allow retailers to ship wines direct to consumers,.  They are responsible for staying in compliance in these states, filing the necessary reports and taxes.  They handle our individual state compliance, carrier shipping and record keeping requirements.  We process the wine order, package it, and actually ship it out to the customer for fulfillment.

Using the best of these two partner offerings, we are able to properly and, most importantly, legally ship wines to each state according to their individual complicated and sometime administratively overbearing alcohol sale, shipment, reporting and tax collecting regulations.
Why does "VinoShipper" show up on my credit card statement?
The end sale which is charged to your credit card is actually processed by VinoShipper.  We contract with them in order to properly and legal sell you the order. It will be shipped from our facility.
How do you ship your wine?
What if I want to buy several cases and ship each bottle to individuals at separate addresses?
If you want to place an individual shipment order, you will need to make individual orders online.  If you place an order (same day) for more than twelve (12) bottles, you will automatically be given the applicable discount(s).
What is your minimum order?
Our minimum order is one (1) bottle on full sized wines. Additional fees may apply.  How long does the order process take? Custom caricature orders can typically be finalized in 5-7 business days depending on order details.
What is your return to policy?
We guarantee our products from defects or broken goods (refused delivery) for a period of fourteen (14) days. If you receive a corked bottle simply return the merchandise for an exchange.  We do not guarantee refunds or exchange on shipping, handling or miscellaneous costs such as expedite fees unless due to company error.
