K&L is excited to return to your state through a new partnership with RareStorage. Focused on collectors, RareStorage has entered into a new arrangement with K&L to serve you. This unique collaboration is specifically designed to offer a renewed look at the K&L inventory.
You now have the option to select RareStorage at checkout at K&L. By doing so, your property will be transferred to our storage partner, RareStorage. They are a separate company, specializing in the secure storage of your personal property. They can also help you make arrangements to self-import your own possessions. Learn more at RareStorage.com
Once your K&L order gets picked and processed, it gets turned over to them. At that point, RareStorage will be in touch with you to arrange for either storage or shipment of your order. We maintain a close working relationship with them to ensure seamless processing of your orders.
Well, this partnership structure is all in CA, so it really isn’t shipping to NY. You are now simply arranging to have Rare Storage ship to NY, presumably after charging some fees to take possession and store your order in CA. This is their way of getting around shipping issues that could cost K&L their liquor license if they handled the shipping themselves and NY pursued enforcement against them.
I’m currently living in TX and received this same email. I’m guessing this arrangement opened up a number of states where K&L couldn’t ship directly. I think Chuck accurately described this partnership and I’m assuming any out-of-staters using it will pay CA sales tax. I’ll be interested to see what the total cost ultimately is …
K&L needs to also ship to Nevada (Las Vegas valley) during the cooler months. Retail wine options here are not great believe it or not. I spent a fortune with K&L whilst I lived in California for 14 years and greatly miss that.
