HOW LONG WILL MY DELIVERY TAKE?
To help us keep our prices down and reduce our carbon footprint, some wines we sell are delivered straight from the supplier. Others are ordered on demand and we also stock a range in our warehouse. As a result, our delivery times vary – depending on their location and where your order is being delivered.
We use Australia Post and Sendle Couriers (Fastway)
Here’s a rough guide to how long you should allow for your order to arrive:
Standard Orders:
Melbourne, Sydney, 3-5 business days
Adelaide, Perth, Hobart: 6-8 business days
All other areas: up to 10 business days
Wines coming from cellar doors are located in regional areas and may only be open a few days per week, we ask that you allow an additional 2 business days for these to be delivered.
The delivery time frames shown above are not guaranteed and we ask that you allow 10 business days for your order to arrive (excluding weekends and public holidays.)
Please note that delivery times over the Christmas, New Year, and Easter holiday periods may be longer than normal.
CAN I STIPULATE A DELIVERY TIME?
Unfortunately, we are unable to offer this service. We hope to introduce a premium delivery service in the future where, for a small additional fee, you will be able to choose the date and time of your delivery.
MY ORDER HASN’T ARRIVED!
Please allow up to 10 business days for your delivery to arrive. If after 10 business days you still have not received your delivery please contact us and we will do our very best to resolve this for you as quickly as possible.
DO I NEED TO BE HOME WHEN MY PURCHASE ARRIVES?
If delivered by Australian Post and Sendle Couriers and you are not at home your order will be left at your nearest Australia Post office or distribution centre for collection (with a card placed in your letterbox). Or, if you have selected “yes” for “Authority to leave” when placing your order then the product will be left at your delivery address. Please note, the authority to leave is available for credit card purchases only. We cannot offer authority to leave for PayPal customers.
In some cases, where the wine is being sent directly to you by the winery, the wine may be sent via a courier and, if you are not home, your order may be taken to the courier’s distribution centre for collection. The person collecting the wines must be 18 or over and able to present identification corresponding to the name of the consignee.
Unfortunately, our couriers are generally unable to call you prior to delivering your order.
DO YOU DELIVER TO NEW ZEALAND?
At this time we are unable to offer deliveries to New Zealand addresses.
DO YOU DELIVER TO OVERSEAS?
At this time we are unable to offer deliveries to addresses outside of Australia.
