UPS Capital Elite™ for Vintners

Reap the benefits of shipping wine all year roundIt weathered months in the elements. Then it was crushed, fermented, aged, bottled, and lovingly watched over for years as it came to maturity. Doesn’t your wine deserve our protection now? It’s time to show the same level of care by protecting your wine with insurance coverage offered through UPS Capital Insurance Agency, Inc.

We’re able to protect your in-transit wine shipments up to your selling cost against breakage and temperature-related issues, such as cork push or seepage. Choose transactional coverage for small package shipments with fees incorporated directly into your UPS® invoice. Or, customize a policy to cover larger shipments covering multiple modes, whether you ship within the U.S. or overseas.

Take the worry out of shipping wine year round. Move your wine off the shelves and into the hands of your customers, so you can reduce warehousing costs, drive revenue and get repeat sales.

Insurance is underwritten by an authorized insurance company and issued through licensed insurance producers affiliated with UPS Capital Insurance Agency, Inc. or licensed international UPS Capital insurance brokerages. UPS Capital Insurance Agency, Inc. and its licensed affiliates are wholly owned subsidiaries of UPS Capital Corporation. Insurance coverage may not be available in all jurisdictions.

Guidelines for good packagingYou can help to ensure that your wine arrives safely and on time with these packaging guidelines and procedures developed from UPS research. All shipments must meet UPS packaging requirements for wine. UPS will accept inner packaging of molded Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) foam, folded corrugated tray, or molded fiber tray. Each packaging component secures the bottles into the center of the shipping container away from the side walls of the shipper. Sturdy outer corrugated containers are required.

Polystyrene inner packaging with corrugated outer containerPre-molded Polystyrene glass bottle shippers provide maximum inner protection for different type and shaped glass bottles. All Polystyrene packaging must be shipped inside an appropriate size outer corrugated box with all closure flaps sealed securely top and bottom with pressure sensitive tape.

4

Molded pulp or die-cut corrugated inner packaging with corrugated outer containerMolded pulp packaging should be pre-shipment tested by manufacturer to meet ISTA or UPS Package Design and Test Lab procedure requirements. All molded pulp or die-cut corrugated inner components must fit snugly inside an appropriate size outer corrugated box with all closure flaps sealed securely top and bottom with pressure sensitive tape.

Maximum weight per container must not exceed UPS Box Strength Guidelines. See table at: https://www.ups.com /content/us/en/resources/ship/packaging/guidelines/ how_to.html
