Shipments

For delivery of orders including alcohol, an adult signature from someone twenty-one (21) years and older is always required. Age verification must be provided at the time of the delivery. For the best experience, please consider shipping orders containing alcohol to a shipping address where someone over the age of 21 will be present to sign for delivery. If shipping to a residence, the carrier may make 3 attempts on consecutive business days. If no one is available, the carrier may hold the box for pick-up at the local center for 5 more business days. After that, the shipment will be returned to Scout & Cellar. There is a $15-$25 (+ tax) charge for re-shipments. Shipments, including shipments of Scout Circle subscription orders, are made from the states of California, Ohio, or Texas and delivery times for Ground shipping orders will vary from one to twelve business days. Because wine is perishable, additional delays may occur during extreme temperatures to avoid damage. Each order must be addressed to a single end consumer of the products contained in that order.

Orders that do not contain alcohol, do not require someone over the age of 21 to sign for delivery.

Minors Under the Age of 21

This Site does not intend to market any Scout & Cellar products or services to minors under twenty-one (21) years of age. Scout & Cellar does not knowingly gather or solicit data from minors under twenty-one (21) years of age through this Site for marketing purposes. By using this Site, you represent that you are not under twenty-one (21) years of age. Adult signature will be required for delivery and proof of age will need to be presented at that time.

Refunds and Replacements – Satisfaction Guaranteed

A Consultant or Customer who is the recipient of an incorrect or incomplete order must notify the Company within 14 (fourteen) calendar days from receipt of the order.

In some cases, an order may be returned to the Company because the carrier is unable to deliver it to the provided shipping address. When this happens, the Company will, at its sole discretion, contact the Consultant associated with the order and attempt to reship the order. If reshipment is not possible or desired, no later than five (5) days after the initial contact, the Company will refund the cost of the order less a twenty-five percent (25%) restocking fee and shipping and handling fees and neither the Consultant nor Consultant’s Upline will receive credit for the order.

Order Cancellations

Orders may be cancelled for a full refund within 48 hours of the order placement time or any time before a shipping label has been printed for the order, whichever is later. After a shipping label has been printed for an order, the order is considered “shipped” and is subject to the Company’s standard return policies.

Subscription Cancellation Policy
