How Orders from CulinarySolvent.com are Shipped

Pints, Quarts, and Gallons

Pints, quarts, and gallons (single gallons, which are composed of four quart-sized bottles, not five-gallon jugs) of 200 proof Culinary Solvent ship via common carrier (UPS or FedEx) as other regulated materials (ORM-D) due to ethanol's hazmat status.  Although these specific quantities are not considered hazmat, they require a marking indicating that they contain a limited quantity of a hazmat that poses a limited hazard during transportation.  

All orders require an adult (21 years or older) signature at time of delivery. 

If you won't be home at time delivery, see "Shipping Culinary Solvent without an 'Adult Signature Required.'"

Note: 190 proof Culinary Solvent is not available to ship in these quantities due to state regulations. 190 proof Culinary Solvent is only available starting at five gallons.

Five-Gallon Jugs

Five-gallon jugs ship via common carrier (UPS or FedEx) as hazmat due to the weight and volume of flammable material in each package.  Hazmat fees apply to all orders of five gallons or more; these fees are included in the shipping price quoted at checkout. 

All orders require an adult (21 years or older) signature at time of delivery.

At this time, there is no way to deliver five-gallon orders without a signature at the time of delivery. 

Bulk

Bulk orders may be shipped via common carrier as freight, depending on destination location and order size.  Learn more about shipping freight here.

All orders ship using new containers, new boxes, and new packing materials that are fully recyclable and sourced with ecological sustainability in mind.
