2021 Rate Cards Coming Soon!
It's the time of year when our carriers announce their annual increase in shipping charges, which will go up by an average of 4.9%. As a result, WineDirect will also adjust shipping rates. The 2021 rate cards will be distributed throughout the month of January. Please contact your Account Manager with any questions.
With ecommerce and shipping demand on the rise, we are continuously looking for ways to increase efficiency and reduce transportation costs. That's why we operate multiple fulfillment centers enabling us to ship via ground to 90% of the US within 1-2 days, and why we offset 100% of carbon emissions from your DTC shipments.
We truly value your partnership and wish you and your family a wonderful holiday season.
