Shipping Information
Fall and Winter Shipping
Beginning in November, orders will be shipped automatically once they are received. Typically orders received prior to 4:00pm will ship the next business day. By default orders will ship via UPS Ground. To specify FedEx as your choice carrier please make a note when placing your order to let us know. Expedited shipping is also available, but you will be charged the standard shipping rates. Please add any special shipping requests to the notes section when you submit your order or contact our Direct to Consumer team at the winery. All shipping dates are subject to change based on weather. Customers will be notified of any changes to their scheduled date by email.

Peak Carrier Surcharge
Effective 11/1/2023 - 1/15/2024 both FedEx and UPS have instituted a surcharge on delivery of all packages during the holiday season. This offsets the additional labor required to meet the demands of this busy time of year. You will see this reflected on your order as a handling fee in the amount of $1.50, which represents only a portion of the true expense with the balance absorbed by Martinelli Winery.
