Ship wine, spirits and vape with delivery you can verify

GLS US delivers alcohol, wine, spirits and, for approved licensed shippers, vape and tobacco products through a regional network across the western U.S. and Texas. Every age-restricted delivery can include an adult signature and ID check, so your customers receive their orders and you keep a delivery record.

Why shippers choose GLS

Shipping alcohol or vape products is not the same as shipping a sweater. Every package carries legal weight: it must reach an adult of the right age, and you need proof that it did. Many national carriers limit or decline these shipments, and those that accept them can treat them as an exception. At GLS US, age-restricted delivery is a core part of how we work, supported by more than 25 years in the adult beverage industry.

  • Regional delivery built for your business

    Fast, predictable shipping across the Western U.S. and Texas helps businesses meet customer delivery expectations.

  • Careful handling for valuable products

    A streamlined regional network with fewer touchpoints helps minimize damage and protect shipments.

  • Adult-Signature delivery services

    ID verification and adult-signature collection help eligible shippers meet applicable delivery requirements.

  • Visibility from pickup to delivery

    Real-time tracking, delivery notifications, and proof-of-delivery tools help businesses and recipients stay informed.

GLS works with wineries, distilleries, breweries and cideries shipping to customers, wine clubs and subscription brands, online and local retailers, and licensed vape and tobacco shippers. Whether you send a few hundred cases a season or thousands of packages a month, we match the service to your volume and your lanes.

Every age-restricted delivery produces a record you can use. Our ID scanning technology helps confirm that the recipient is the proper age on alcohol deliveries, and digital signature capture is available in most areas. You and your customers can follow each package with text or email notifications, from pickup through delivery, so fewer orders fail because nobody was home. If a regulator, marketplace or payment partner asks how you verify age at delivery, you have the answer and the paperwork.

How it works

  • Open an account. Tell us what you ship and where; we review your business and set your rates.
  • Print a compliant label. Mark every age-restricted package as required for your product and state.
  • We pick up and deliver. Your customer gets text or email updates along the way.
  • An adult signs. The driver checks ID and captures the signature; proof of delivery is available to you.
