Our Products

This website is for the use of persons of legal age to consume alcoholic beverages. By using this website you acknowledge that you are over 18. We operate a Challenge 25 Policy and we will check your ID before the physical handover of goods to you via our courier.

Products may vary slightly from their pictures. The images of the products on our website are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that a device’s display of the colours accurately reflects the colour of the products. We reserve the right to change the contents of mixed cases, replacing items with similar products.

Your Rights to Make Changes

If you wish to make a change to the product you have ordered please contact us. We will let you know if the change is possible. If it is possible we will let you know about any changes to the price of the product, the timing of supply or anything else which would be necessary as a result of your requested change and ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change. If we cannot make the change or the consequences of making the change are unacceptable to you, you may want to end the contract (see Your rights to end the contract).

Our Contract With You

How we will accept your order. Our acceptance of your order will take place when we email you to advise we are shipping your order at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us. If you have provided us with an email address, we will send you an order Confirmation on receipt of your order, however our Order Confirmation is sent to confirm that we have received your order into our system and for you to check that your order is accurate. Your order will be subject to stock availability and fraud checks. It does not constitute a binding contract. On rare occasions where there is a problem with your order, we will get in touch with you to resolve it prior to dispatch.

If we cannot accept your order. If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this and will not charge you for the product, or if you have been charged this will be refunded. This might be because the product is out of stock, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because we have identified an error in the price, our offer codes or description of the product, or because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified.

Your order number. We will assign an order number to your order and tell you what it is when we accept your order. It will help us if you can tell us the order number whenever you contact us about your order.

We only sell to Great Britain (excluding Northern Ireland.) Our website is solely for the promotion of our products in the UK. Unfortunately, we do not accept orders from or deliver to addresses outside the UK. We regret we are no longer able to sell to Northern Ireland.

Delivery Costs

All prices shown exclude delivery. Delivery is charged at £5.95 for the first case, and £2.95 per case for any subsequent cases. Like most couriers, DHL charge extra for deliveries to the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, Isle Of Man, Isle Of Wight and Channel Islands so unfortunately we have to pass these costs onto you.

DD8-11
GY
HS
IM

JE
KA27-28
KW
PA20-80

Delivery Times

In-Stock Items. We will always endeavour to send your goods to you promptly and we will usually dispatch in-stock items within 2 working days.

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. We operate a Challenge 25 Policy. 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 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 (see Our Rights To End The Contract).

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.

Your Rights To End The Contract

You can always end your contract with us. Your rights when you end the contract will depend on what you have bought, whether there is anything wrong with it, how we are performing and when you decide to end the contract:

(a) If what you have bought is faulty or misdescribed you may have a legal right to end the contract (or to get the product repaired or replaced or a service re-performed or to get some or all of your money back), see If There Is A Problem With The Product;

(b) If you want to end the contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do, see Ending the Contract Because Of Something We Have Done Or Are Going To Do;

(c) If you have just changed your mind about the product, see Exercising Your Right To Change Your Mind (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). You may be able to get a refund if you are within the cooling-off period, but this may be subject to deductions and you will have to pay the costs of return of any goods;

(d) In all other cases (if we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind), see Ending The Contract Where We Are Not At Fault And There Is No Right To Change Your Mind.

Ending the Contract Because Of Something We Have Done Or Are Going To Do. If you are ending a contract for a reason set out at (a) to (e) below the contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any products which have not been provided and you may also be entitled to compensation. The reasons are:

(a) we have told you about an upcoming change to the product or these terms which you do not agree to;

(b) we have told you about an error in the price or description of the product you have ordered and you do not wish to proceed;

(d) we have suspended supply of the products for technical reasons, or notify you we are going to suspend them for technical reasons; or

(e) you have a legal right to end the contract because of something we have done wrong.

Exercising Your Right To Change Your Mind (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013) For products bought online you have a legal right to change your mind within 14 days and receive a refund. These rights, under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, are explained in more detail in How To End The Contract With Us (Including If You Have Changed Your Mind).

Ending The Contract Where We Are Not At Fault And There Is No Right To Change Your Mind. Even if we are not at fault and you do not have a right to change your mind (see You Can Always End Your Contract With Us), you can still end the contract before it is completed, but you may have to pay us compensation. A contract for goods is completed when the product is delivered. If you want to end a contract before it is completed where we are not at fault and you have no right to change your mind, just contact us to let us know. The contract will end immediately and we will refund any sums paid by you for products not provided but we may deduct from that refund reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your ending the contract.

Deductions from refunds if you are exercising your right to change your mind. If you are exercising your right to change your mind:

(a) We may reduce your refund of the price (excluding delivery costs) to reflect any reduction in the value of the goods, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop. If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the goods and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount.

(b) The maximum refund for delivery costs will be the costs of delivery paid by you.

When your refund will be made. We will make any refunds due to you as soon as possible, normally within 14 days.

Product Details & Substitutes

Any information we publish electronically or via printed materials is always intended to be as accurate as possible. However, in some cases approximate dimensions or capacities may have to be given.

On rare occasions we may have to substitute a product with a very similar item for something you have ordered. We will always do this with care and ensure the replacement is appropriate and similar to the item originally ordered.

Our Rights To End The Contract

We may end the contract if you break it. We may end the contract for a product at any time by writing to you if you do not, within a reasonable time, allow us to deliver the products to you.

Prices always include VAT where appropriate. If the VAT rate changes or there are any unforeseen circumstances affecting the price of goods, we reserve the right to increase or decrease prices accordingly.

Trade / Wholesale Orders

Whilst we are more than happy to take orders from everyone, we cannot guarantee to make any special arrangements for orders made on behalf of any commercial enterprise in order to meet certain deadlines, or deviate from our standard delivery procedures. Whilst we will obviously make every reasonable effort to accommodate customer requests, and we always endeavour to ensure deliveries are delivered promptly, our couriers cannot provide a specifically timed delivery or guarantee delivery for a specific day.

Any orders placed by or on behalf of a commercial enterprise will always be treated in the same way as any other order and subject to our standard prices and delivery promise. In such cases where a refund is provided, our liability is strictly limited to the value of the order including the cost of the product and the associated delivery charge.

A detailed confirmation of the specification of the product will be provided to customers prior to confirmation of their order, in addition to full details regarding charging and shipping of the order.

Such orders will only be taken on a sold as seen basis and full payment must be received prior to shipment.
