Shipping

Unfortunately due to increased transport costs being passed on FREE Shipping is not available. The current shipping options will be outlined in the checkout relative to your Location/Cart contents and will allow you to select from for various shipping/services in the checkout to best suit your needs.

Orders usually ship from the warehouse within 2 business days . You should then receive an email once it has been dispatched with more info. Depending on where you’re based, Australia Post will deliver in 2-4 days for most metro (Eastern Capitals), up to 7-10 days for more regional areas, and sometimes even longer if you're really remote. So all up, we ask that you allow 5-10 business days for your order to arrive, If you need your wine by a certain date, you should definitely call us on 1300 366 906. or make make specific reference to this in the comments section when ordering, we can then assess and come back to you if the shipping method needs to change!

No unfortunately, we don’t. It’s simply too expensive, with often too much risk. It’s not out of the question that we won’t have this option available in the future, but right now we can’t.
In the event you or your recipients not at home to sign for the goods we will have the Courier leave a calling card for the persons to collect via a specified collection point. This is most often the local post office closest to the recipients address. We unfortunately do not offer a re-delivery option as the parcel once shipped is is the secure hands of the Australia post delivery channels and will be held securely until collected and signed for via the Post office branch with 10 business days allocated for the collection prior to the parcel being returned unclaimed. Unclaimed parcels will be held in situe for a nominal period while we investigate recipients address and details for re-delivery, unfortunately if a parcel is required to be reshipped once returned charges may apply. Can I waive the signing for delivery if I know i wont be home in the delivery/business hours due to work? Adding delivery instructions to your order is the best way to have a successful delivery and we ask that you have a safe and secure location for the courier to leave if requested. For example, if you’re not home, the driver can leave it somewhere safe on the property if we are directed to do so, Otherwise, perhaps your work address may be more suitable! We certainly recommend the signing for goods as we cannot take responsibility once the items are "left" by the courier.
