7. Delivery

After confirmation of the order once payment has been received, the order is dispatched within 48 hours. For international orders, delivery times vary depending on location. Delivery charges are calculated based on the weight of the product(s) and destination address. Vintage-liquors cannot make guarantees concerning delivery times and is not responsible for delayed orders.

Once the package has left our warehouse by handing over to the transportation company, the goods are out of our responsibility and considered to be delivered to the costumer, irrespective which circumstances are leading to losses, missing, damage or confiscation of the goods, whatever the reason. Each delivery of our products is subject to local tax and duties upon arrival in the designated country, which are levied once the package reaches customs clearance. It is therefore your full responsibility to verify any import regulations upon arrival your designated country.

Any additional charges for customs or other kind of clearance must be borne by the recipient; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. Customs policies vary widely from country to country, so you will need to contact the recipient’s local customs office in your country of landing for further information.

Please note that standard deliveries are made during business hours on Monday to Friday; to ensure prompt delivery someone must be present to sign for the parcel. For this reason we cannot under any circumstances accept Post Box Numbers as a delivery address for any order. Orders with Post Box Numbers as delivery addresses will not be dispatched and processing will be delayed while we contact you for a valid delivery address. After processing, (which may be subject to delay if we are out of stock of any items ordered, in which case we will notify you), all orders are dispatched using a 24 hour service to most mainland destinations in France, 3-5 working days service to most European addresses and 7-10 working days for international orders, delivery times vary depending on location. Delivery charges are calculated based on the weight of the product and the destination address.

Please note that we are unable to guarantee the punctuality of service provided by our delivery agents, particularly during spells of difficult weather conditions. If your shipment is delivered unacceptably late after having been collected from us on time by our agent we will try to secure a refund where appropriate.
