Pickup Locations for Beyond Vino Wineries
Wineries that fulfill through Beyond Vino can give customers a FedEx or UPS pickup option at every point where a wine delivery can go wrong. Buyers can choose a pickup location at checkout. Club members and other customers can switch an order to pickup after it's placed. And if a home delivery attempt fails, the customer can send the package to a nearby pickup location instead of waiting for another attempt or a return. All three of Via.Delivery's products work with Beyond Vino.

1. Pickup at Checkout
Buyers on your online store see nearby FedEx and UPS pickup locations next to your other shipping rates. They choose one before they pay, and the order goes to Beyond Vino with the pickup location as the delivery address. For wine, only locations that accept alcohol are shown.
How many buyers choose pickup when it's offered at checkout, across stores using Via.Delivery (Via.Delivery data): 12% to 26% of buyers of wine and other signature-required products, 16% on average.

2. Pickup Redirect, after the order is placed
Club releases are charged automatically, so club members never see a checkout. When a new order is created, Via.Delivery sends the customer an email and a text in your winery's name with the closest FedEx or UPS location that accepts wine. The customer can choose it, pick another location on the map, or keep home delivery. Customers can also check "Save this choice for future orders", and every later release from your winery goes to that location automatically.

3. Missed Delivery Redirect, after a failed delivery attempt
Some orders still go to a home address, and nobody is there to sign. Via.Delivery tracks home deliveries several times a day. When the carrier records a failed attempt, the customer gets an email and a text offering the nearest suitable pickup location, and can redirect the package in a few taps.

Why pickup matters for wine shipments
Every wine shipment needs the signature of an adult aged 21 or older, and most deliveries arrive on weekdays while people are at work. A missed signature means another attempt, a trip to a carrier facility or a box returned to the winery. Pickup gives the customer a time that suits them, at a location that accepts wine.
- Signature fees repeat on every reship. At 2026 FedEx list rates, the adult signature fee is $10.00 per package. Actual costs depend on each shipper's negotiated discounts.
- Members who keep missing deliveries cancel. In our analysis of wine club member loss, one member who cancels over delivery problems can cost a winery about $1,840 in future gross profit.
Getting started

- Choose where to start. Most wineries start with Pickup Redirect for club releases, where the same members miss the same deliveries release after release.
- Tell your members. Announce pickup before the next release, so members know the email and text are coming.
