| | In general, I also like to ship late March or early April, the earlier the better depending on the weather forecast. | | | |

| If its going ground, then the timeframe above is appropriate. I've done 2nd day air when I see there is a break in the cold like we had a couple of weeks ago when it was in the High 40's low 50's, but that's on a rare basis.
I made the mistake of shipping a case of wine last year ground in January. I received a Pride Popsicle and a few others that were a bit slushy. I drank the frozen one that weekend and it tasted fine, but I vowed never to go ground in the winter again. | |
