UPS will make three, consecutive, business day attempts to deliver your order.

• They won't specify the time of delivery but will specify the date(s).

• If unsuccessful after three attempts, UPS will hold your order for five days at one of their local distribution centers. It will then be your responsibility to pick it up.

• After the five days, it will be returned to Portland Cider Co. If the order is returned you are charged for the return shipping to the cidery, and then the reshipping back to you.

• An alternate delivery address or delivery date can be specified while the order is in transit. There is a $20 per package fee for the in-transit change plus any additional shipping charges.

ALTERNATIVES TO CONSIDER WHEN SELECTING A SHIPPING ADDRESS:

• Have it shipped to a business address.

• Check out a local UPS store and ask if they will receive it for you (many charge $5-$10 per pack to receive it for you).

• Set the order up for "Will Call" at the local UPS Service Center after it has shipped. Once it arrives, you will have five days to pick up the order at the appropriate local distribution center. There is no additional fee for this.

Call or email VinoShipper. They guarantee delivery of your order and so if anything goes wrong we will either refund you and provide a replacement order for you at no cost to you.

We do not currently offer Portland Cider Core Society shipping outside of the United States.

Cider can be damaged by exposure to extreme weather, such as extreme heat or freezing temperatures. We may place a temporary hold on orders being shipped to states affected by such extreme weather conditions. To track the shipping status of your order, go to refer to the tracking number on the email confirmation you received.

It is recommended that you order your cider to be shipped via expedited service. The less time your wine spends in transit, the less the chance of it being damaged.
