Multiple Delivery Attempts

- If no adult is available to receive and sign for the shipment, two subsequent attempts to deliver will be made. After the third attempt, the wines will be shipped back to Orin Swift.
- If your shipment cannot be delivered in the three attempts and is sent back to Orin Swift, you will be charged the regular shipping rates to have it re-shipped. Please pay attention to the Shipment Notification and Tracking emails.
- By giving us your email address, you are authorizing us to send you information related to your wine club membership via email in accordance with our privacy policy, which is available at https://www.orinswift.com/legal
- Please make sure your email attached to your account is current to receive all notifications of charging, shipment, and tracking. You can update this by logging into your account dashboard or by calling Orin Swift directly at 707.967.9179.
Benefits of Using a Commercial Delivery Address
We strongly encourage you to provide us, whenever possible, with a commercial address for the delivery of your order. Wine orders require the signature of an adult.
Taxes, Pricing and Charges
- Taxes are applied to all orders where applicable.
- Pricing for Milk Run is based upon release price per bottle of each individual wine and will be in the range disclosed during the club registration.

Returns & Damages Shipments
- Orin Swift is not responsible for damages caused by temperature fluctuations during or after shipment. We may hold or delay shipment due to weather conditions.

- Returns - If you receive a shipment you did not order please contact us to have the wine shipped back properly. Shipping and handling charges may apply.
Cancellations, Skips and Suspensions
- We understand from time to time your cellar could be overloaded, you've got to pay for a wedding, or you've jumped on the wagon requiring you to cancel your membership. We would appreciate as much notice as possible (preferably 90 days) so we do not inadvertently ship you wine. This will also allow us to let another person in on the satisfaction you so enjoyed over the years.
- Unfortunately, due to the limited production of the wine club wines, EQUINOX is not a membership in which you can skip a shipment or put a shipment on hold. If you need to stop, please cancel your membership, and we can add you to the wait list for future availability if you'd like.
- You may cancel your club membership at any time. If you cancel after your order has been packed and palletized for shipping you will be charged for that shipment.
- To cancel, please log in to your account, email us at wineclub@orinswift.com, or call us directly at 707.967.9179.
- Please note that benefits such as discounts and tastings terminate upon the date of cancellation.
Orin Swift reserves the right to amend membership benefits, costs, and wine release schedules at any time.
