Shipping wine to work?

I'm ordering wine online.  There is a note on the website that states someone over 21 must be present to sign for the wine, wine will be delivered between 8 and 5.

I work between those hours, so no one will be home to sign.  Should I have it shipped to my place of employment?  It would feel weird.  I've never had wine shipped before - is it obvious that the package contains wine?

Re: Shipping wine to work?

  • I've had wine shipped to work.  It was in a normal cardboard box, but the label did say the name of the company (Buy Wines Direct).  I simply let the receptionist know that I was having some wine delivered to work because I'm obviously not home during the day and that she will be carded if she signs for the package.  It wasn't a big deal at all.  It's not like I was going to bust out a bottle the minute it arrived.  If you're worried about it being weird, just tell them you are having a package delivered and it needs a direct signature.

  • I had wine shipped to work before. No one thought anything of it, as I have most of my stuff shipped to work.

    A few people made comments about it, but other than that, it was no big deal.

    I'd let the receptionist know, so that she can be descreate about it.

  • Our receptionist doesn't sign for packages, our receiving does.  I let them know it would be coming, and I'm "friends" with the head of HR and ran it by her today.  It's a go.  :)

  • I wouldn't do it, but I think it's probably a no-no to have a kindergarten teacher sending herself wine at work :lol:  :o)
