Returns & Refunds Policy

Our Promise

DrinkSupermarket.com complies with all UK laws including the distance selling law. All parcels shipped by DrinkSupermarket.com are quality-checked prior to packing for any damages or defects. No damaged or defective items are sent out to you without prior notification to you, the receiving customer. Every bottle is shipped in a specially designed cardboard box that provides superior protection. DrinkSupermarket.com use the latest packing materials to protect each item contained within a parcel to ensure full protection during transit. Whilst we endeavour to protect all containers, some product containers are weaker than others and these are prone to leakages and breakages.

If you have received a damaged; defective; incorrect; unwanted or short/out-of-date item, then see the options below.

 

Damaged or Defective Goods

 

Our courier partners re-pack your items and continue with the delivery of your order. In some cases, you will not receive your delivery as the goods maybe excessively damaged.

 

In the event of receiving a damaged product, if the product is broken or has leaked, you can refuse to sign for it upon delivery. If you have opened the package, then the following procedure will apply:

 

1. You must provide photographic evidence of all item(s) to our customer support team within 7 working days of the goods being delivered according to parcel tracking details.

3. Should you wish to receive the correct item, we will arrange a collection for the incorrect item and resend the correct item. In this instance, the collection must be made and received back at our address before we can arrange the resend.

Out-of-date / Short-dated Goods

 

In the event of receiving an item that is out-of-date or short-dated (30 days from the Best Before Date (BBD) or Best Before Enjoyment (BBE) date product, the following procedure will apply:

 

1. Provide photographic evidence of all item(s) to our customer support team within 7 working days of the goods being delivered according to parcel tracking details.
2. Should you wish to keep the item, then our customer support team will discuss a goodwill gesture with you by way of a discounted refund.
3. Should you wish to return the item, we will arrange a collection for the item and resend a suitable replacement at no cost to you.
4. In the event a replacement is not available, then we will refund you back.

 

As a general rule with beverages, Best Before Enjoyment (BBE) does not mean the item is out-of-dated, it merely means that the item could possibly be passed its optimum taste but is still safe to consume. Refrigeration or careful storage will increase the longevity of products. For example, storing beer and red wine in a cool dark place.

 

Note: If the item you received was advertised as short-dated or was on promotion at the time of purchase, then we will NOT accept any returns or issue any refunds.

 

Failed Deliveries / Non-Collected Items

 

In the event your goods were not delivered because you had not collected them from the parcel depot or the goods were returned back to us due to incorrect delivery details being provided or if you were not available to sign for the goods, then the following procedure will apply:

 

1. We will refund you back for the cost of items received back at our address. You will not be refunded for any shipping charges if they were paid on your original order.

2. Should you want your items, then you are welcome to place a new order, alternatively, you can pay for the cost of resending the items to you. Our customer support team will confirm this cost with you.

3. If your original order was placed using our free delivery service, then we will deduct £10 from your refund if you no longer require the goods.
