Ok to ship FedEx Ground from east coast to west coast this time of the year?

Most retailers will hold the wine for you until March or April. Why take the chance and ship now?

Even I wouldn’t want to ship 3 day from Seattle to Maine through Spokane, Malta, Williston, Minot and Grand Forks.

But all the other routes look fine.

The Union Pacific route through Reno, Ogden and Laramie has significantly higher elevations, though, and the mountainous portions stretch from California to Denver, while the Rockies are quite narrow in Idaho and Montana, so I think the UP route is at least as risky in terms of long cold stretches.
