    Deliveries and Returns

    1. The delivery address that you nominate needs to be within a location where Bilgola Cellars provides delivery services. We will advise you if the delivery address which you nominate ceases to be in an area where we deliver goods. We will not be obliged to continue to deliver orders to you if you change your delivery address and the new delivery address which you nominate is not in an area within which Bilgola Cellars deliver goods.
    2. If there is no one at the delivery address or no one over the age of 18 to receive the order when the order is delivered, Bilgola Cellars may charge you and you may be required to pay an additional fee.
    3. All attempts will be made to ship items in original packaging. There may be instances where packaging can be damaged in transit. This includes products that Bilgola Cellars has received from suppliers. Minor label and/or packaging scuff is impossible to avoid in every instance, therefore we request that customers have realistic expectations in this regard. If you require a pristine example of the bottle and packaging please advise at the time of ordering and we will confirm the condition of the item(s) on hand and/or do our best to preferentially select the item(s). Alternatively, we recommend you visit the store to make your own selection.
    4. At this stage Bilgola Cellars only delivers to locations within Australia. NSW and VIC, Queensland, SA, TAS, have a standard delivery time of 2-5 business days. WA (Perth Only) can take up to 14 days.
    5. Bilgola Cellars offers a 7-day return policy on certain* products that are proven to be faulty in any way. Bilgola Cellars will offer a replacement where possible or a full refund. To satisfy this return process, we need to have access to most of the contents of the bottle in its original cork or cap to assess whether the wine is faulty before we can offer a refund/replacement. Bilgola Cellars will test all products returned to us within 7 days of receipt. Some wines may need to be returned to the original supplier/winery for further chemical analysis and/or testing. If the wine is determined to be in working condition, not defective or faulty, it will be returned to you and you will be invoiced for the processing and freight costs associated with the return. "Change of mind" returns are up to the discretion of management.

      * It is important to note that a lot of our wines fall into the category of “Old and Rare.” These wines are in excellent condition in terms of their cellaring history in our cellar, levels, labels and physical appearance. Having said this, there is risk inherent to handling such items and the buyer must beware. The buyer accepts all losses ensuing from purchasing a tired or undrinkable "Old & Rare" wine. If you contact us within a reasonable period from the delivery of the wines, we will be happy to discuss whether we can provide a refund or exchange, but there is no guarantee. We are here to help in any way possible and don't want you to be disappointed, but we can only make a decision for any compensation on a case-by-case basis.

    6. In the event that your product must be returned to Bilgola Cellars, please allow 3-7 business days for your refund to be processed after the product has been received.

    7. In the event that you change your mind with respect to an order that you have places, please call (02) 9918 9169. Exchanges may possible at Bilgola Cellars’ sole discretion. For exchange of a delivered product, unfortunately additional delivery charges will be incurred at your expense. In this case, the delivery charge will be deducted from the refund to the customer. Please note that all change of mind returns must be in their original condition and packaging.
