Delivery services in general have become more common over the past few years. Now, you can even get liquor delivered to your door, which is really convenient if you have already been drinking and cannot drive — or if you just don't feel like hopping in the car. If you're about to order liquor to be delivered for the first time, here are some tips you can follow for a great experience.
1. Look for a delivery app that's available in your area.
There are a number of liquor delivery services out there, and most of them are relatively new. Thus, they have begun service in some cities, but not everywhere yet. Rather than download five apps before you find one that actually works in your location, do a little research first. Google your city name and "liquor delivery" to see what services actually deliver to your zip code, and then deliver the relevant app.
2. Be aware of volume discounts.
The driver has to put in the same amount of time and effort whether they deliver you one bottle of rum or 6 bottles of wine. As such, many delivery services offer a volume discount. For instance, they might give you 10% off if you purchase more than $50 worth of liquor, or if you order three bottles or more. Pay attention to these discounts and take advantage of them if you can. It's worthwhile to order three bottles now rather than one bottle a week for the next 3 weeks.
3. Order in advance.
Liquor delivery services really do try to get to you as quickly as possible, but as this is a growing industry, there are times when the demand is a lot for the drivers to keep up with. Order as soon as you know you're going to need liquor; don't wait until the last second. Your liquor may still come in a lightning-fast 30 minutes, but if it does take 2 hours, at least you won't be disappointed.
4. Tip the driver.
Make sure you remember to tip your delivery driver. Some delivery companies allow you to do this in their app, and others ask that you tip in cash. Either is fine. Tipping about 10% of the total cost of your order is customary.
If you follow the tips above, you should have a great experience ordering liquor to be delivered for the first time. Contact a liquor delivery service today to learn more. Enjoy your drinks!
