Help - shipping from Portland, OR

WINE TALK
1

Ok, I’m heading out to Portland to move my friend to Austin in 3 weeks, and he is currently holding 2 cases of wine I bought with him on a large order where he took delivery.

I don’t want to bring the wine with us in the U-Haul to avoid any possible damage etc. The wholesaler he made contact with and visited, justlost their license for shipping (or something), so we’re trying to find a solution quickly.

Does anyone know of anybody who he can visit around the Portland area to get the wine shipped out to me: retailer or wholesaler? I’m going to push him for 2-day air because the weather is heating up across the midwest (and DC) and I don’t know which states the ground shippers will take.

Thanks for the help guys!

Check with “Portland Wine Storage” on SE Ash Street. They may be able to assist with shipping, if not storage.

The UPS store in Newberg ships wine for people all the time. Its a 30-45 minutes drive from Portland, but I know lots of people who have had success shipping through them.

Guys, this is terrific, I’ll shoot these over to my friend. the UPS store marketing itself as a wine shipper is great reassurance.

I expect this is the sort of thing you should be able to find 50+ alternatives for in the PDX locale. You have the luxury of shopping around for convenience and price. Do not settle.

Cheers,

Michael @ StoryTeller Wine has shipped for me to NYC. I try to be a small but steady customer to make it worth his time.
