Hold Until Safe to Ship, Weather Damage, and Tainted Corks:
Some products such as wine may be weather sensitive. Lakeside Beverages may delay shipping at its discretion to prevent heat damage or freezing, especially during the months of July through September. Lakeside Beverages is not responsible for damaged wines due to ground service once it leaves the warehouse. At checkout, if you choose to Hold Until Safe to Ship, or upon request to hold, we will hold purchased wines at no additional charge until weather conditions are suitable for shipping. Should you choose to Hold Until Safe to Ship option but need your wine by a specific date, please reach out to us 916-791-0684.
If you receive a wine with cork taint (TCA) and it is within 30 days of the purchase date, please contact us. We do not guarantee wines after 7 years of vintage date. Please note, shipping charges are not refundable.

Should any products be damaged during shipping, please contact us by phone or email (916-791-0684, jeremy@lakesidebeverages.com) so we may pursue a claim with the shipping company. Please note that damaged products must be returned to receive a refund.
