Prohibited delivery

  • In the USA delivery to a number of states is prohibited – click here for more on USA delivery.
  • We regret that we are unable to ship to Tenerife due to restrictions on alcohol delivery.
  • PO boxes are not acceptable for delivery purposes.
  • Schools are not acceptable addresses due to the nature of the contents of the packages.

Additional Delivery Notes:

  • Delivery is calculated per bottle, where a bottle is assumed to weigh 2kg. Please note that delivery for some larger items may cost more due to additional weight.
  • We offer an optional Loss & Breakage Cover to all Auctions customers during the delivery section of the checkout process. This is provided by The Whisky Shop Auctions and covers loss of items or breakage in transit. Orders sent by Standard Shipping without Loss & Breakage Cover are covered only by our courier’s standard liability insurance, which includes loss of parcel but not breakage of glass. In the event of a breakage, we will enter a claim for compensation with the courier on your behalf but this is not guaranteed. The claims process takes 7 days with the courier, after which we will be in contact with you.
  • We require someone of legal age under local licensing laws to be present at the delivery address to sign for acceptance of the goods. Goods are dispatched by a third party courier and their terms and conditions apply.
  • Military bases are very difficult to deliver to and must as a minimum have a physical address attached to them.
