Placing an order with Drinkstuff

You can order from Drinkstuff in the following ways:

  • Online via the website – www.drinkstuff.com
  • By phone 01763 264 280: Choose the option for Sales
  • By Fax +44 1763 262 420 for attention of Sales
  • By post/cheque (Please make all cheques payable to Drinkstuff)

When you place an order for any products in any of the methods above, you are buying the product at the price stated at the time of order, subject to these terms.

When you place an order online we will send you an email to confirm that we have received your order. This email is produced automatically and confirms the details that you have given us. It is a receipt of order but it is not confirmation that we can fulfil the order. If we cannot for any reason fulfil the order we will contact you directly. Confirmation of fulfilment will be received in the form of a dispatch email. This will include how to track your order if a tracking number is available. This is dependent on the service used to dispatch the order. We store the contract's content and will send you the details of your order as well as our general terms via e-mail. You can find the terms here at all times. The details about your recent orders can be found in "My account".

Drinkstuff may cancel any sale and not supply products if it is reasonable to do so and may change or discontinue the availability of products at any time.

All new orders are deemed separate and each order is treated individually.

Product Price

Our prices on the website www.drinkstuff.com are in GBP and are inclusive of VAT at 20%. Please note our currency converter is only a guide and may not accurately reflect current exchange rates.

You are responsible for the disclosure and payment of any import duties or other taxes, which may apply when the products are delivered. Unfortunately we cannot advise you what these costs may be. Please consult your local customs office for more information.

We always try to make sure that the prices on Drinkstuff.com are correct but errors may occur. If we discover an error in pricing of the products in your order we will inform you as soon as possible using the contact details you supply us with. We will then give you the option of reconfirming the order at the correct price or cancelling it. If the order is cancelled, we will refund you for any payments made. If we cannot get hold of you using the contact information given we will cancel and refund the order.

Delivery Price

You will be notified of the delivery costs automatically before you submit your order. The delivery cost will be based on the delivery address you supply.

For more information on delivery please view the Delivery Information.

For international deliveries, the postage price for delivery is charged on a per parcel basis. The checkout process assumes the delivery is for a single parcel only. The majority of orders are sent by one parcel however in rare cases, the delivery may require more than one parcel to be sent. Any orders of this nature will be sent as a pallet delivery. If this occurs, we will contact you for an additional payment to cover the postage charges prior to dispatch. You will also be given the option to cancel your order. This would normally be applicable to large orders where a high quantity of products has been ordered.

Payment

You must pay for your order before it is dispatched (except account customers) and you can do this by:

Credit/Debit Card

We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Delta, Switch, Solo, Eurocard or JCB. We aim to debit money from your account within two working days after receiving your order however this can depend on your service provider. Should your payment decline we recommend double checking all the details entered to make sure these were correct as often a typing error can be the cause. If they were correct you will need to contact your card issuer to find out the reasons why.

PayPal / PayPal Express

Payment method available through website only.

BACS/CHAPS

BACS/CHAPS payment transfers are accepted for higher value orders (you will be responsible for all charges).

Cancellation Policy

Orders may be cancelled prior to dispatch providing the status in "My account" is not set to "Packed (Awaiting Despatch)" or "Despatched". If the order is either of these two statuses, the order will need to be dispatched with our couriers. However, when delivery is attempted, you can refuse the order from the courier and the goods will be returned to us for a refund. Please note: For any unwanted dispatched orders, you will be liable for any postage charges incurred.

Cooling off period

Customers have a 30 working day cooling off period from the day after receipt of the item. During these 30 working days, you may decide your item is not suitable and wish to return the order. You will be able to return the goods for a full refund, however the return postage will be borne by you unless the item is faulty or damaged. If the item is faulty or damaged, we may collect the item from you. Any damaged items must be reported to us within three working days of receipt of damaged goods. You can also notify us of cancellation in writing to hello@drinkstuff.com or by post to our address at the bottom of this page.

Please note: You will not have any right to cancel a purchase for the supply of goods made to your specifications or clearly personalised.

For more information on returning items please see our returns policy.

Availability

We try to keep Drinkstuff.com as up to date as possible but cannot guarantee that particular products will always be available. If we can’t supply a product you will not be charged for it and we will refund any money taken for that item.

All offers are available while stocks last. If we are unable to supply a product you have ordered, we will notify you as soon as we can. If this happens you may cancel your order and we will refund you in full.

Delivery

Our aim is to deliver all goods on a Standard Delivery service within 2-4 working days and all other addresses within 10 working days of confirming the order (unless otherwise stated), however sometimes delays do happen and deliveries can take up to 28 days. This can be the case with some Direct Delivery items.

We also have a next working day delivery service available to England and Wales mainland. Please see our delivery page for further details. Next working day delivery orders need to be placed before 16:30. This guarantees Drinkstuff will dispatch your order on a next day service however we do have to rely on a third party courier to deliver within the stated time.

All delivery costs will be shown automatically before you confirm your order. Please click on the delivery page for more information.

Delivery outside the EU may be subject to local import taxes, which is your responsibility where these apply. If they do apply our shipping company should contact you once your goods are in the country to let you know the customs charges. We cannot be held responsible for any charges.

Please be aware that your supplied telephone number may be printed on the delivery label to provide a point of contact if the courier needs to contact you.

Parcels will be dispatched by either Evri or UK Mail.

Parcels will be sent UK Mail if they are:

  • Domestic orders over £150

Please note the order will not be dispatched until we have spoken with you. If you are unavailable on the contact information given at the time of ordering, dispatch will be delayed until you contact us.
