Export Gifting Orders
We are only offering Delivered Duty Paid quotes when the ‘Sold-to’ & ‘Ship-to’ are different.
Please also note that there cannot be any ‘surprise gifts’ as the recipient will be contacted by the local import customs agent to process the clearance and will have to provide identification.
Bonds
It is important to note that a guarantee on delivery or collection before Christmas cannot be given as this is dependent on availability at the receipting warehouse.

The wine is faulty
We are committed to providing our customers with an unsurpassed level of service and are equally committed to ensuring we provide a safe and legal product.

We will ask for the return of the bottle in question.

All international orders and some UK orders are taken out of their original cases and repacked in delivery boxes for safe transit. If you would like the original cases, then please contact us to arrange.
Can I send items to multiple addresses in one transaction?
No, orders can only be dispatched to a single address per transaction. If you intend to ship items to multiple addresses, please create individual orders for each destination.
