Will you deliver to my area?

We process orders to Mainland UK addresses (England, Wales and Scotland). Delivery to the Scottish Highlands, the Scottish Isles, Northern Ireland and Isle of Man can be selected during checkout. For more information on delivery please see the Delivery section.

 

Unfortunately we do not currently deliver to European or International delivery addresses.

What happens if no-one is available when delivery takes place?

For successful delivery you must ensure there will be someone over 18 years of age to sign for your order. If no-one is available at the delivery address our couriers may also attempt delivery to a neighbouring property. In such instances a calling card should be left at the delivery address confirming where the order has been delivered.  

 

If delivery of your order is not successful the order will be returned to the courier's local depot. A calling card will be left by the courier company with their contact details to arrange re-delivery. Orders will be attempted for delivery on up to two separate occasions before being returned to the courier's local depot for customer collection.
 

What happens if my package arrives damaged?

We work with leading couriers to ensure your order is delivered in pristine condition. If your order is visibly wet or damaged, you should refuse to sign for it and have it returned to us. If you do sign for the order damaged please ensure you mark on the couriers paperwork which bottles are damaged and the quantity. You should contact us within 24 hours of delivery if there any breakages.

 

If you sign for your parcel and subsequently find that something inside is damaged, please take photos of the delivery box and contents before disposing of them. Please email the pictures to us within 24 hours of delivery so we can initiate a claim.
