ODW Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Hello, Can anyone recommend a shipping company that ships alcohol directly to consumers in California? We are thinking about taking advantage of AB 920 (while its still around) but we are having a hard time finding someone who will ship spirits direct to consumers. Checked with Fedex and DHL. They only ship to other license holders for spirits. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jocko Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 At our brewery we use GLS. Believe they do spirits as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ODW Posted March 1, 2023 Author Share Posted March 1, 2023 Thanks! will reach out to them. Found lots of carriers willing to take wine and beer but seems they dont want to take spirits because it can be revoked by the end of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ODW Posted March 1, 2023 Author Share Posted March 1, 2023 Golden, do you use FedEx for DTC shipping? We have a shipping agreement with them but when I asked for DTC they said this is not something they provide for spirits. For spirits they told me that they can only ship to another license holder. Could just be that the person I spoke to was not familiar with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

38° Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 We use UPS as GLS have not been reliable in our area and FedEx is hit or miss as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
