Domestic Shipping

All units are F.O.B (freight on board) from APEX’s or a partners warehouse. (Most items ship directly from our Southern California location.) Large objects such as wood cabinets and wine racks generally ship freight collect, meaning customers will pay the shipping company directly for the freight fee. For metal cabinets, wine cooling units and accessories, Vinotemp generally charges a prepaid fee to be paid at time of order. Small units (under 100 bottles) are shipped by varied carriers.

Sorry, APEX is not able to deliver to a P.O. Box.

You may Will Call most purchases at the APEX shipping dock (near Los Angeles) when ordering to avoid some shipping costs. Call for complete directions: 3154 E. Via Mondo, Compton, CA 90221.
