How can I check on my orders? Can I track the package?
You can view all your orders, past and present, by first logging in and then going to your My Account and then going to the Order History page (you may have to log in first). This Order History page will also include all telephone and in-store purchases, provided that you inform an Applejack salesperson of your account information and request that your transaction get "profiled" in our system.
How long will it take to receive my order?
We make every attempt to get your order shipped to you as soon as possible. Please keep in mind that there are a few reasons that may prevent your order from making its way on to a FedEx, UPS or RAC truck immediately.
It takes us some time to pull your order together, and get it to our shipping department where it is packed and labeled. The time between when you place the order and when it is pulled and packed can vary from a couple of hours to a couple of days, depending upon order volume. Our fulfillment methods vary depending on if we have enough product in stock or how long it takes us to get the product from our distributor.
If any items are temporarily unavailable (but due in within a few days), we may hold your order in our warehouse and wait for the outstanding items to arrive. We attempt to have our customer service department contact you if this occurs.
IMPORTANT - We attempt to ship products, especially wines, at the beginning of each week in order to get shipments to you before the weekend. This is because we have no control over the temperature conditions at our freight carriers' warehouses throughout the year. The result may be a delay in your shipment. Please understand that this policy is due to our commitment to ensuring your order arrives in perfect condition.
If your order contains "futures" or "pre-arrival" items, they will not be immediately delivered. These products are explicitly indicated as "pre-arrivals" or "futures" on our Web site, along with the expected arrival dates. Applejack will notify you by US mail when your "pre-arrivals" or "futures" have arrived and are ready to be shipped or picked up. You will be given the opportunity to coordinate the proper shipping address and method (we won't automatically ship out pre-arrival wines when they arrive).
NOTE: If you have selected a specific shipping method such as 2-Day Air shipping, your order may not necessarily arrive two days later. It will, however, be sent via 2-Day Air service with our carrier (generally FedEx or UPS). It is extremely important to evaluate the time your order spends in transit, where we have no control over the environmental conditions.
How to Determine the Status of Your Order
The quickest way to see the status of your order is to go you the My Account section of our Web site. From there you can see the real time order status of any order you have placed.
Alternatively, you can contact our customer service department by phone at (800) 879-5225 or via email at customerservice@applejack.com.
Why can't I log in?
Are you sure that you registered with us? Registering on our site automatically emails you a confirmation of your registration.
If you have indeed registered, but still cannot log in, you may be using an incorrect Username or Password. The most common cause of log-in problems, other than you've simply forgotten the correct username or password, is an upper case/lower case mismatch. Your username and password are case-sensitive, so you have to be sure you type them in with exactly the same combination of upper and lower case characters as you did when you initially entered them.
You may also have trouble if you mistype your userrname and password more than three times. If you incorrectly attempt to sign-in three times, for your protection we may decline further attempts to sign in.
If you continue to have problems, please contact us so that we can help you sign on successfully.

Please visit our Shipping & Delivery information to learn more about our policies.
Can I cancel or modify an order after it has been submitted?
Yes. We normally do not charge your credit card until your order has gone to shipping or will call (except in the case of "pre-arrival" sales). As long as your credit card has not yet been charged, you can cancel your order by calling us at 1-800-879-5225, or alternatively by email at customerservice@applejack.com. Be sure to include your name, email address, order number, if available, the products you want to cancel, and all other information that could help us locate the order rapidly. If you want to change the quantity of an item, please tell us by email, phone, or fax. With any cancellation or modification, please let us as soon as possible.
Because of the fees charged by your credit card company when we charge and subsequently credit your card, we may enforce the collection of our restocking fee, 15 percent of the order total, if your card has already been charged. Again, we normally do not charge your credit card until your order has gone to shipping or will call (except in the case of "pre-arrival" sales). If we haven't charged your credit card, you may cancel the order without being subject to our restocking fee. If we have already charged your card, the circumstances surrounding the order may impact our enforcement of the restocking policy.
Can I return a product?

How do I know that you have received my order?
After you place an order, you should see a Thank You page with an order number. You should also receive a confirmation via Email. Additionally, from "Your Account" you should see the order on the "Order Status" page.
How long will it take for me to receive my order?
It depends on what you order, where the shipping address is located, when you place your order and what shipping method you select. Please note that shipping methods like "3-Day Air" do not guarantee that your order will arrive within three days. If you select "3-Day Air" for example, it should not take more than three days between the time that the carrier picks up the package from our location and when it arrives at your address. However, we need a small amount of time to carefully verify, pull, and package the order for you. Above all, the safety of your product(s) is the most important thing as far as we're concerned. For this reason, we attempt to ship wines at the beginning of each week in order to get shipments to you before the weekend. This is because we have no control over the temperature conditions at our freight carriers' warehouses. The result may be that your shipment doesn't go out the day that you place an order. Please understand that during business hours, your orders are immediately packaged and scheduled for delivery, but may be delayed until ideal conditions for shipment arise. If immediate delivery is required, we would urge you to call us to verify the instructions before placing the order.
A small percentage of our products are sold on a "pre-arrival" or "futures" basis. These products are explicitly indicated as "pre-arrivals" or "futures" on our web site, along with the expected arrival dates. APPLEJACK will notify you by US mail when your "pre-arrivals" or "futures" have arrived and are ready to be shipped. You will be given the opportunity to coordinate the proper shipping address and method, or will call date for pick-up (we won't automatically ship out pre-arrival wines when they arrive).
Unless you live the Denver-Metro West area, we strongly discourage you from selecting "Ground Service" as your shipping method. During the winter and summer months, weather conditions (temperature) and longer delivery times can often result in the spoilage of your order. It doesn't make sense to invest in fine wines and then take the chance of ruining them due environmental factors during transit (faster and safer delivery generally isn't much more expensive). We don't make an additional profit on accelerated delivery, but we frequently recommend faster shipping options to our customers outside the Colorado area.
Does Applejack.com handle gift orders? Do you offer gift certificates?
We would be happy to take your gift order, although we do not currently offer gift wrapping for any online orders. You can specify what you'd like us to include on the card by filling in the appropriate field on our order form.

Can I obtain spirits, wines or beers that are not listed on your Web site?
First, and foremost, the wine or spirit being requested must by law have a Colorado distributor. In addition, it is illegal in Colorado for us to ship beer.
Sometimes. Because most of what we sell are limited production items, it's often very tough (or impossible in some cases) to locate items that you don't see available on applejack.com or in any e-mail communications. Our buyers are frequently asked to locate products that we're not currently selling, and if they have straightforward access to something that you're interested in, they'll get it for you. Quite frequently we are asked to locate the new releases of extremely rare and highly allocated wines. These particular wines (the collectors know which ones we're referring to) are going to be tough to secure via Email. The limited quantities of these wines that are available upon release normally go to frequent and familiar shoppers. As much as we'd like to have a large supply of these rarities to offer throughout our Web site, newsletter (add or leave out for now), and store shelves, the reality is that we're often dealing with just a limited number of bottles or cases. The best thing you can do is contact the winery, find the release date, and stay in touch with our sales staff shortly thereafter. We get numerous requests each month for products that we're not offering, so please be patient and understanding if we're not able to send a prompt reply.
