My order never arrived.
Please note the standard delivery times in the first question above and contact us if you have any concerns after these times have elapsed and you still haven't received your wine
An item is missing from my shipment.
Sometimes when you order multiple cases Australia Post will deliver the wine as a split consignment over consecutive days. If you've ordered multiple cases and they don't all turn up at once you can advise us but we won't be able to lodge an enquiry directly with them until the standard delivery times have elapsed. In most cases the additional case(s) will be delivered the following day or shortly thereafter. On some unfortunate occasions wine is damaged in transit and when this occurs we'll arrange to have the damaged wine returned to us before it reaches you and will send you a replacement case - which will result in a further but unavoidable delay in your delivery. We'll send replacement cases for damaged wines immediately when we become aware of the damage occurring.
