Orders, Delivery and Collection of Goods
You must not order or purchase goods from us:
- if you are aged under 18;
- for re-sale purposes (all goods must be purchased for personal use); or
- which are outside any order limits or restrictions which we may apply to our wines on this site.
It is up to the customer to ensure that someone over the age of 18 is present to accept delivery of the goods. They may be asked to provide proof of age. If no-one is at the delivery address, or if there is no-one aged 18 or over, unless indicated on the order to leave if no-one is home, an attempted delivery notice will be left at the delivery address and you will need to collect your goods from the location specified in the notice.
Global Wine Merchants will deliver the goods to the requested delivery address. Best efforts are made to ensure delivery times are accurate however, any delivery timeframes specified by us are indicative only. We are not liable for any loss or damage that you may suffer if delivery is not made within the delivery timeframes or is delayed for any reason.
During periods of hot weather Global Wine Merchants may in its discretion withhold shipments and re-arrange delivery at a more suitable time, and the customer will be notified of any possible delay to the shipment.
In the case of ‘corked’ wines, in order for us to assess the condition of the returned bottle we must receive a claim within three (3) days of purchase. If it is deemed by us (in our sole discretion) that the ‘corked’ wine is tainted, a full refund will be issued.
All goods ordered are subject to availability. If a product is out of stock, we will contact you to find a suitable alternative. If the substitute is not accepted, we will cancel the order and issue a full refund.
Price and Payment
The price of the goods (and delivery services if applicable) in relation to an order will be calculated by reference to the prices specified on the site at the time that order is placed.
All our prices include GST. The expression ‘GST’ has the same meaning as supplied in the A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999 (Cth).
Sales made excluding Wine Equalisation Tax and GST are at the discretion of Global Wine Merchants and any such request must be made in writing upon application.
If a product appears on our website at an inaccurate price or with a wrong description, we reserve the right to cancel or decline any orders placed on such items.
Payment is only deemed to have been made once it has been received by us.
Returns and Refunds
Please note that once you have placed an order, we are unable to cancel or edit your order. Accordingly, please ensure all product and delivery details are correct.
In the unlikely event that the goods received are faulty or defective, not as ordered or not of acceptable quality in accordance with Australian Consumer Law, then we will either replace or refund the price of the bottle using your original payment method. If we are unable to supply you with wine of the vintage that you ordered, we reserve the right to substitute it for the same wine of a different vintage. We do not offer a refund or replacement if you simply change your mind or you don’t like the wine.
In order to obtain a refund or exchange please contact one of our team members on 0407 012 710. You will need to have your original purchase receipt that was emailed to you when you placed your order.
