Yes, an adult aged 21+ or older MUST be present to sign for your package, as required by federal law. Make sure someone will be available to avoid delays or additional charges. If no one is available to sign and your order gets shipped back to Batch Mead, you will be refunded minus the cost of shipping.

If a customer is not home during all (3) delivery attempts, FedEx/UPS charge us an additional $30-$40 to return the package. It is essential that customers are home during delivery or change their address to a FedEx/UPS store via the shippers' websites.

We understand that it may not always be convenient to be home for package delivery. Here are a few options to ensure you can still receive your order smoothly:

• Reroute Your Package for Pickup: Use your tracking link to reroute the package for pickup at a nearby UPS or FedEx store. Look for options like "Manage My Delivery" or "Change My Delivery" on the tracking page. Please note, you may need to create a free account with the shipper and set a preferred store for this service.
• Ship to Your Workplace: If it’s more convenient, consider shipping your order to your workplace or another location where someone 21+ will be available to provide the required signature.

We use FedEx and UPS to ship our orders across the U.S. Which depends on your location, the cost, and time to receive the order. Shippers vary.

Please remember that once your package is with FedEx/UPS we are not able to change the address or anything about the delivery, it's completely in the shipper's control.

Mead can be enjoyed in a variety of ways:

• For sparkling mead, serve chilled at about 45°F (refrigerator temperature).
• Still mead can be enjoyed at room temperature or chilled.
• Feel free to experiment by mixing mead with spirits, ice, or mixers—but we think it’s best enjoyed straight!

• Keep unopened bottles in a cool, dry place (like a wine fridge or a closet) away from sunlight or fluctuating temperatures.
• We recommend drinking our cans within 6 months and bottled meads within 1-2 years.
• Once opened, mead is best enjoyed within 1-3 days. Use a bottle stopper and keep it in the fridge to preserve its carbonation and freshness.

Yes! Like wine, mead can age beautifully. However, we recommend enjoying it within a year of purchase for the best flavor.
