Buying alcohol online seems like a convenient and affordable way to get the products you want, especially when your local liquor stores don’t have them available.  But is it actually safe to buy alcohol online?

Buying Alcohol Online & Safety

It is generally safe to buy alcohol online, provided you are purchasing from a reputable retailer. When buying alcohol online, it is important to be aware of any laws and regulations regarding the sale and delivery of alcohol in your area. Some countries have strict laws regulating the sale and delivery of alcohol, and it may be illegal to purchase or have alcohol delivered to certain locations.  The retailer’s website should tell you whether they ship to your area.

It is also important to protect your personal information when making any purchases online, including ones involving alcohol. Be sure to use a secure website and a safe payment method, and be wary of any suspicious emails or requests for personal information.  U.S. shipping services have strict requirements on how alcohol is shipped so you can be assured your package will arrive securely and from a licensed retailer. 

Benefits of Buying Alcohol Online

Buying alcohol online is a safe and secure way to obtain your favorite liquor beverages.  Here are some of the many benefits of using online liquor stores:

Convenience

When purchasing liquor online, you can shop for alcohol from the comfort of your own home and have it delivered to right your doorstep. This can be particularly useful if you live in an area where there are no liquor stores or if you are unable to go out due to COVID-19 restrictions, illness, disability, car problems, or bad weather.  Plus, you don’t have to fight crowds and can save time by avoiding traveling to the nearest store.  Our team processes orders on the same day we receive them so that we can deliver your products as fast as possible without sacrificing quality.

Selection

Online retailers often have a wider selection of products than physical stores, so you may be able to find rare or specialty items that are not available locally.  At Chip’s Liquor, we’re always on the lookout for the best products for our customers so we keep many rare finds and unique bottles in stock.

Price Comparison

It is easy to compare prices when shopping online by selecting a price sorting option.  You can also shop by types of liquor to narrow down the search results.  This makes it easier for you to find the best bargain — or the most luxurious items if you prefer. 

Easy to Shop for Gifts

It is easy to shop for gifts online and have them delivered to the recipient.  If you buy the alcohol in a local shop, you’ll have to wrap it yourself and mail it to them rather than letting the retailer do that for you.  We offer both gift wrapping and gift notes as affordable add-ons in our online store. 

More Information

Online retailers like Chip’s Liquor typically have more information in their product descriptions than you would find on the price tag in a physical store. You can get details about the taste, how it’s made, where it’s from, ingredient lists, and unique highlights for each product!  This can be extremely helpful when you’re buying something new, shopping for a friend, or picking out something special for a big event or celebration.
