Shipping Whisky from the Netherlands to the USA by RVW

When purchasing a rare bottle of whisky, there are numerous factors to consider. At Rare Vintage Whisky (RVW) in the Netherlands, we fully understand this. Our webshop offers a wide range of unique and rare whiskies, and we take pride in providing our customers with exceptional service, even when it means shipping these precious bottles to the other side of the world. In this text, we will discuss the key aspects of our shipping service to the United States: shipping costs, delivery time, packaging, insurance, and the specific challenges of shipping whisky.

Shipping Costs

At RVW, we are transparent about the costs associated with shipping our products. For shipments to the United States, we charge a flat rate of €90.00. This fee is set for several reasons. First, international shipping costs are significantly higher than domestic shipping due to the greater distance and special handling requirements during transport. Second, this fee also covers the costs of the extra measures we take to ensure the whisky arrives safely and in perfect condition to the customer.

Delivery Time

Another important aspect of our shipping service is delivery time. When you place an order with RVW, we strive to deliver the whisky to you in the United States within 8 to 10 business days. Although this may be longer than the standard delivery time for domestic orders, it is necessary to ensure the whisky survives the journey from the Netherlands to the United States safely. This process includes multiple steps, including customs checks, which can take additional time. We do everything we can to ensure your order is processed and shipped as quickly as possible, and we keep you informed of its progress.

Packaging

At RVW, we know that proper packaging is crucial for shipping whisky safely, especially when it comes to rare and expensive bottles. Therefore, we pay close attention to the packaging of every order. Each bottle of whisky is thickly wrapped with bubble wrap to absorb shocks and vibrations during transport. Additionally, we use filler material to ensure the bottle stays securely in place in the box and cannot move. The box itself is of sturdy quality, providing extra protection against potential damage. This careful packaging helps us guarantee that your whisky arrives in perfect condition, regardless of the distance it must travel.

Insurance

Shipping valuable goods like rare whisky comes with risks, which is why we at RVW offer comprehensive insurance options. Every shipment to the United States is insured against damage, theft, breakage, label damage, and loss. This means that as a customer, you are fully covered in case something goes wrong during transport. We understand how valuable these bottles can be, both financially and emotionally, and we want to ensure you can order from RVW with peace of mind, knowing your investment is protected.

Shipping to the USA

Shipping whisky to the United States presents specific challenges. First, there are strict customs regulations that must be followed. At RVW, we have experience with these procedures and ensure that all necessary documentation is correctly completed and included. This helps to minimize delays at customs and ensure the whisky reaches you as quickly as possible.

Additionally, we must comply with the regulations regarding the import of alcohol into the United States. Each state has its own laws and regulations, and we ensure that we meet all local requirements to avoid issues. This may include obtaining certain permits or providing additional information.

Finally, climate is an important consideration when shipping whisky. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can affect the quality of the whisky. Therefore, we plan our shipments carefully to ensure the whisky is transported under the best possible conditions. This may involve adding extra insulation to the packaging or delaying shipment during periods of extreme weather.

Conclusion

At Rare Vintage Whisky (RVW), we are committed to providing the best possible service to our customers, no matter where they are located. Shipping rare whiskies from the Netherlands to the United States is a complex process, but we take all necessary steps to ensure your order arrives safely and in perfect condition.
