DELIVERY

How much does delivery cost?

Delivery cost is calculated at checkout, depending on the UK delivery address entered.

*Unfortunately, due to prohibitive delivery costs, we cannot deliver outside of the UK.

How long will my order take to arrive?

All orders completed before 12noon on a working day (Tuesday – Friday) will be dispatched the same day. Any orders completed after 12noon or on a non-working day (i.e Mondays, weekends, bank holidays) will be dispatched the next working day. Once dispatched, most orders are delivered the next working day, however please allow 5 working days. Our courier company delivers anytime between 7:30am and 5:30pm.

Do you deliver internationally?

Currently not. The logistics around posting liquids and exporting alcohol are tricky, and we are currently looking into a cost effective way of doing so. It is something we hope to start in the very near future. We currently are only able to deliver to mainland UK.

What happens if I’m not in to receive my order?

Our courier company will leave a note with instructions on how to contact them to arrange redelivery or collection. Once contacted, delivery will be scheduled for a day to suit you. If delivery is not possible on this rearranged date, the order must be collected from the courier depot or an additional redelivery charge must be paid.

What happens if my order hasn’t arrived?

We will send you a tracking code for the courier once your order has been dispatched which can be used to track the progress of your order. However, if your parcel has not been delivered after 3 working days, please contact us.

What forms of payment do you accept?

We accept a range of major debit and credit cards via our online checkout which is powered by SagePay. We are pleased to accept Visa, Visa Debit, Visa Electron and Mastercard.

When am I charged for my order?
