Customer Service FAQs
How do we take it over technically?
1. Brand creates an orders@brandname.com email address and puts it on their website with accompanying instructions that this email is for orders, so as to avoid questions that we would have trouble answering (Mostly for retailers or other business partners asking “How do I carry your product in my store?”) . We recommend you have:
a. For orders, email this email
b. For stocking our product, email this email
2. Required platform to create the Email:
A. CS email needs to be created on the server of your choice (Gmail, Microsoft, Outlook, etc.). Here is an example of how your CS email might look: info@aupalevodka.com
B. Once the email account is created, please share the email address and password with us so we can establish the correct connections. We recommend using Gmail or Microsoft as the server, as these options allow for easier and more effective integration. After setting up, we can perform the necessary tests.
C. If you use another server, please note that this information is IMPORTANT to connect it to our platform:- Incoming email server domain
- IMAP Port
- Outgoing email server domain
- SMTP Port
- Password

NOTE: ALL SHIPMENTS CONTAINING ALCOHOL REQUIRE AN ADULT (21 YEARS OR OLDER) SIGNATURE UPON DELIVERY!

Carriers will not leave packages containing alcohol unattended, even if you have a signature on file. If you are not able to be at home to receive your mezcal during normal business hours, we recommend having it shipped to your place of work, or opting to have your shipment held at the nearest FedEx or UPS pick-up location
SHIPPING TIME FRAME & TRACKING
When your package has been created with a shipping label and has been sent out into the mail stream, you will receive an email notification with tracking information.
Orders are shipped from fulfillment centers in CT, NY, and FL, and generally take 1-7 business days for delivery when shipped ground.
Orders to Oklahoma and Texas may take slightly longer, due to the use of local carriers in those states. An online order can take up to 7-14 business days to be delivered depending on the carrier and the shipping address.
If it has been more than 3 business days and you have not received a tracking email, please contact info@aupalevodka.com] for assistance.
