Wine-Specific Conditions

Legal Requirements

You must be 21 years of age or older, to order or receive alcoholic beverages from The Princess and the Bear. Receipt of shipments containing alcoholic beverages requires the signature of a sober adult (a person 21 years of age or older who is not intoxicated). Wines purchased from The Princess and the Bear are not for resale, and are for personal consumption only.

Credit Card Charges

Orders are by credit card only. We accept Visa, MasterCard, and American Express.  We also offer payment through PayPal.

Minimum Purchase

No minimum purchase is required.

States Authorized for Direct Shipment

Due to the ever-changing nature of wine shipping laws, we may be able to ship wines, directly or indirectly, to all states except DE, KY, MS, OK, UT. If The Princess and the Bear is unable to ship directly to your state, we can arrange for the sale and shipment of our products through a third party. Please note, when dealing through a third party, wine prices, discounts, and shipping costs may differ from those quoted by The Princess and the Bear. Please contact us at 1.206.323.4757 if you are unable to make a purchase because the state you live in is blocked on our system due to the legislation existing in your state.

Shipping Costs

UPS or FedEx are The Princess and the Bear's carriers of choice. Ground shipping is provided by The Princess and The Bear directly, or though third party partners, via UPS or FedEx at current market rates. *Note – If the customer selects an air shipping method for his or her carrier, the customer pays all shipping charges, regardless of his or her wine club membership or purchase amount.

Wine is a Delicate Commodity

Wine is a perishable commodity. Wine does not like extremes of temperature: hot humid summer and cold winter weather may adversely affect the condition of your wine during shipment. The Princess and the Bear is not responsible for, and cannot replace wine that is damaged due to conditions beyond our control, such as by extreme weather conditions during shipment. When your wine order is picked up by the common carrier for delivery, the purchaser becomes responsible for the wine. Thank you for your understanding. We are always happy to speak with you about problems you have with shipment and you can email us at info@theprincessandthebear.com or call us at 1.206.323.4757.

Various Offer Terms

All offers are while supplies last or have a deadline date, whichever happens first.  No offers can be combined with other offers.
