Orders placed for special items, custom items or unusual quantities and then canceled by the customer may result in an additional reduction of the refund amount dependent on inbound and outbound freight charges incurred by Quality Wine and Ale Supply, regardless of the original means of payment.
Delivery of Merchandise:
Once an order is placed with Quality Wine and Ale Supply or any of it's affiliates, any and all shipments may be delivered and left (released) by UPS, USPS or any designated freight company driver without any further authorization or notice from the ordering customer, the recipient of the order or Quality Wine and Ale Supply.

Unless specifically requested by the customer, packages may be left without a signature at the discretion of delivery personnel.
Lost or Presumed Stolen Shipments:
At the time of shipping, the order becomes the responsibility of UPS or the designated freight company; claims for lost, misdelivered or misdirected packages must be made by the customer to Quality Wine and Ale Supply within 30 days from expected delivery of merchandise. Quality Wine and Ale Supply will file a lost product claim and assist the customer, if required, in filing a claim with UPS or the designated freight company. Claim processing generally takes from 7-10 business days. Quality Wine and Ale Supply cannot ship replacement merchandise until any such claim with UPS or the designated freight company has been settled, unless the customer agrees to be charged again for replacement items and further agrees to be bound by any decision for reimbursement by UPS or the designated freight company. Additional shipping or freight charges are the responsibility of the customer unless allowed by UPS, the designated freight company or agreed to be paid for by Quality Wine and Ale Supply. Missing or presumed stolen orders of packages are considered a serious criminal matter. The customer should file a police report and contact their insurance company or agent for further action.
