     *Most large, international delivery, shipping, and trucking companies are not permitted to transport alcoholic beverages by law (25658 B&P)
       to persons under 21 year of age. Common practice for these companies indicates deliveries to recipient without a signature is acceptable, and
       normally an agreement must be signed to deliver alcohol products, if permitted to deliver alcohol at all. NVDS does not condone alcohol
       deliveries to minors, and will not accept a signature if recipient is under age 21. Upon request, NVDS will deliver to customer's destination and
       notify the customer upon completion of delivery. NVDS delivers statewide. All above companies are not necessarily permitted to deliver wine.
 
   **NVDS delivers same day and scheduled statewide. To view UPS same day branch website (UPS Express Critical) click here. Under the
       unusual circumstance that these larger, international transportation companies offer same day deliveries, they are limited regarding weight or
       heavier item deliveries. We invite you to contact the above companies to compare same day or scheduled rates with NVDS.
