The Challenge

While the DTC approach generated significant sales, ensuring successful first-time deliveries proved to be a challenge for the family-owned business. The complexities of wine shipments, especially to areas with warmer climates like Arizona, Texas, and Florida, also underscored the importance of finding a reliable delivery solution.

A potential solution emerged during a conversation with
their UPS representative. HubBox offers online retail delivery technology designed to give customers more choice for delivery or collection – enabling customers to choose from over 20,000 pickup locations across North America directly at checkout.
