USEFUL INFORMATION FOR BUYERS IN JERSEY & GUERNSEY
 

Sending wines to you is not complicated or very expensive. Here is some information for you, however, if you have any questions not covered here then please contact us.

VAT
VAT (Value Added Tax), is not included in the prices quoted on this list and U.K. VAT is not applicable to residents in The Channel Islands. Customers may have to pay Channel Island duty

TRANSPORTATION
We have been sending wine overseas for many years and have concluded that the easiest, cheapest and fastest method of despatch is by mail for any order less than 3 cases. The wine will be despatched as soon as payment is received. Approximate costs are as follows:

POST : delivery next day
1 bottle £10 2-6 bottles - £20 7-12 bottles - £40

All above prices include packing in special strong polystyrene cartons with cardboard outers.

Options will be investigated for larger orders and for wines required in original packaging.
IT IS NOT SAFE TO SEND WINE BY OUT BY POST IN ORIGINAL WOODEN CASES.

STOCK CONDITION
Please note that we are not a broking operation. With very few exceptions, all wines offered on our list belong to us. Should you require a stock condition report on levels and labels do let us know; otherwise you may assume that all wine is in a satisfactory condition making due allowance for its age. Please do not take this to mean that in older wines all fills are in the neck and labels in pristine condition. Age takes its toll on all of us! However, as most of our older wines are cellared here in Plymtree, they are checked by us prior to release. Any items found to be in a doubtful state, poor labels, and levels etc., will not be shipped without your approval.

We are not permitted to inspect wines held under bond, but in any case we do not consider this necessary as we leave only the more recent vintages in bond.

PAYMENT
We do not accept credit cards. For full details about payment please see Terms & Conditions.

CELLARAGE
We are able to store wines purchased from us for either collection or delivery at a later date. Clients receive a letter of ownership and in addition all wine is clearly labelled and kept in a part of the cellar specifically designated for paid reserves. Storage conditions are good and the cost modest at £12 per annum per case, plus insurance (optional), at 1% of the replacement value of the wine. If you require further information then please let us know.
