Delivery & returns

Delivery Costs

All prices shown exclude delivery. Delivery is charged at £6.95 for the first case, and £2.95 per case for any subsequent cases. Like most couriers, Parcelforce charge extra for deliveries to UK islands, Scottish Highlands, so unfortunately we have to pass these costs onto you. Sorry, we cannot yet deliver to Northern Ireland or the Channel Islands.

Delivery Times

In-Stock Items. All orders received by 12.00 (midday) will be sent by overnight courier for next day delivery. Next day delivery only applies to standard mainland deliveries - UK islands, Scottish Highlands and Islands will take longer. Orders received after 12.00 will be sent the following day.

Pre-Orders. Where items are sold on pre-sale for a future delivery date e.g Christmas Gifts, you will be advised at purchase of the sale date, which is when deliveries of this item will commence.

Age Verification on Handover of our Parcels. As a Term of our license to sell alcohol, we are required to operate a Challenge 25 policy on delivery. If the person receiving the delivery appears under 25, we will require a valid ID (passport/ proof of age card/ photo driving licence) to complete the delivery. If none is available, then a redelivery will be attempted at a later date.

If you are not at home when the product is delivered. If nobody is available to receive the order, the courier will leave a card, and the purchaser can then arrange redelivery or collection direct with the courier. You will also be able to change the allotted delivery timeslot online, through links via our email shipping confirmations.

If the product is to be delivered to someone else. If the purchaser elects to have the goods delivered to an address other than their home address (for example if it is a gift), the same age verification terms apply and the recipient must be able to prove that they are over 18.

If you do not re-arrange delivery. If you do not collect the products from us as arranged or if, after a failed delivery to you, you do not re-arrange delivery or collect them from a delivery depot we will contact you for further instructions and may charge you for any further delivery costs. If, despite our reasonable efforts, we are unable to contact you or re-arrange delivery or collection we may end the contract and you may be required to compensate us.

When you become responsible for the goods. A product which is goods will be your responsibility from the time we handover the product to the address you gave us. We cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property.
