Scheduling Pickup and Logistics Discreetly
How to coordinate shipping or drop-off privately, especially for high value collections.
Quick Answer
Moving a valuable collection can attract unwanted attention. We specialize in low-profile logistics.
- We use unmarked vehicles (no logos).
- Our team wears plain uniforms.
- We can schedule specific time windows to avoid neighbors/staff.
- We can pack on-site or just load pre-packed boxes.
Pickup Options
Tailored to your needs.
- White Glove: We enter, pack, seal, and remove. You do nothing.
- Curbside: You stage the boxes in the garage; we load and go in 5 minutes.
- Freight: For cross-country, we coordinate with specialized fine art/wine carriers.
Packaging for Privacy
Plain brown boxes.
- We use generic shipping cartons.
- Manifests are coded to avoid listing 'High Value Alcohol' openly.
- Labels are addressed to our corporate entity, not 'WE BUY WINE INC'.
Who Needs to Be There
Someone must be present to sign the release.
- Ideally the owner or authorized House Manager.
- We verify ID to match the Seller Agreement.
- Once signed and loaded, liability transfers to us.
Common Mistakes
Broadcasting the move.
- Leaving boxes on the curb for hours.
- Scheduling during a party or open house.
- Trying to move 500 bottles in a personal sedan (suspension damage + breakage risk).
What to Do Next
Coordinate with our Ops team.
- Request 'Private Pickup' in your offer notes.
- Give us gate codes/access instructions privately.
- Secure pets and clear a path to the cellar.
