  10. Order Delivery:
    • NOTE: Due to Covid related industry closures, deliveries will be done as timeously as possible but we are unable to guarantee how long this will take.
    • All deliveries made in South Africa will be via courier to the customers nominated delivery address after receipt of payment. (P.O Boxes are not permitted as a signature of receipt is required).
    • During check-out, should the delivery fee not automatically be allocated, or allocated incorrectly, the client remains liable for any delivery charges that are incurred. Should this error occur, a manual invoice will be created and emailed to the client. Payment of delivery charges must be settled in full before delivery will be done.
    • All goods must be signed for on delivery. If signed acceptance is not secured at the recorded address when a delivery is attempted, the goods will be retained by the courier, and a notification of the attempted delivery will be left on site. The courier will then return the order to Wine Concepts® and any further delivery attempts will be at the customer’s cost.
    • Wine Concepts® will not be liable for any loss due to a delay caused by a customer in the delivery of an order, nor for any loss, damage to or misplacement of delivered products once a delivery has been completed. All damage risks thus shift to the customer once a delivery is completed.

    • We undertake to affect the refund within thirty (30) days of our receipt of the returned items. However should an order not be returned within the seven (7) day period, then it will be deemed to have been accepted and no return will be entertained.
