Found some good pricing on some wine, but retailer doesn’t ship to Illinois, there is a Indiana Walgreens 30 miles away, considering having it sent there.
I had wine shipped to a Walgreens- they moved it into the store onto shelves behind the counter at the photo department. I had to show ID and tracking number to take possession of it. Worked smoothly. I’ve also shipped wine to folks who picked it up at a Walgreens- I got confirmation they signed for it and felt good about the shipment.
I’m in Southern California and have used a local Walgreens several times. No problems at all. Plus they receive their FedEx shipments earlier than residences do, so the wine is on the truck for a shorter time.
The ups warehouse is also a couple miles down the road from me and shares a building with my gym. Which works out well except they have limited hours to pick up. 11-6 I think.
I used it a couple of times, but then I went to pick up my package and no one was there. I asked a Walgreen’s cashier if they knew when Fedex would be back, and she said that sometimes they just vanished for a few hours at a time. So I went behind the counter, took my package and left. About two weeks later I got a call from Fedex asking if I’d picked up my package. I said I had, the person said “Oh, thank God,” and that was it.
