Order Cancellations

If an order has been decanted / poured and / or collated a 30 % restocking fee will be incurred if you wish to cancel. This is due to the labour costs and the loss of plastic (PET) / glass bottles and lids and caps / packaging items and the like.

Most orders will be processed within the day they are received ( Monday to Friday) and mailed within 24-72 hours.

We will do our best to accommodate you if the order has not been packed and/or shipped. If your order has already been packed and you wish to add on, the addition may need to be considered a new order.
