  • The delivery options available depend on whether you are ordering only whole unbroken cases (whether of 6 or 12 bottles) or not.
  • If you are ordering only whole unbroken cases, you can specify a specific time slot on a weekday for delivery. In the alternative, which is cheaper for deliveries of up to 12 standard bottles, you can specify a day (which must be a weekday) for delivery and delivery will be made at any time during working hours on that day.
  • If you are ordering a mixed case, you can specify delivery up to noon on a weekday. In the alternative, which will always be cheaper, you can specify a day (which must be a weekday) for delivery and delivery will be made at any time during working hours on that day.
  • Your preferred delivery day/times should be entered on the order form. You should allow three working days, if the delivery address is in London or the Home Counties and five working days, if it is elsewhere. If the day or time you suggest is not possible we will contact you to agree an alternative.
  • Independent carriers are used for all deliveries. If you do not receive the goods at the agreed time or day, any further attempts to deliver will be at your expense.
  • If for reasons beyond our control delivery to you is impossible, we reserve the right to cancel the order and refund all charges to you.

Returns

  • We will provide a full refund of any wines that are faulty. This does not affect your statutory rights.

Breakages

If any bottles are damaged or broken the carrier will normally not deliver the case and a replacement case will be despatched, at no additional cost, as soon as possible. We will keep you advised on the status of your order. If a breakage is found after delivery please contact us immediately and we will arrange for a replacement case to be delivered and the damaged case picked up. Please wherever possible retain the original packing.

Substitutions
