  1. Non-Delivery and Cancellation

 

4.1 If you receive a wine from inspiringwines.co.uk that you believe is spoilt or if a bottle has broken then we will either refund you for the full value of this wine or we add the value of the broken wine to your account to use towards any future orders placed with inspiringwines.co.uk.

4.2 You may cancel your order for any reason up to and including 7 working days from the date of delivery of your order, provided all the bottles are unopened, undamaged and in a saleable condition. We will refund the price of the order excluding any delivery charge and less the cost incurred to collect the wine.

4.3 Rarely a wine you order may go out of stock. This should not happen as inspiringwines.co.uk only advertise stock that we have on hand and ready for next day delivery. However, sometimes stock maybe damaged for example and we would not be aware until the point of dispatch. If this is the case, we will contact you to inform you of the potential delay or offer you an alternative wine of equal or greater value.

4.5 We will always do our upmost to deliver the correct vintage of the wine you have ordered. If we deliver the wrong vintage then we will of course collect the wine if required and refund in full. inspiringwines.co.uk is under no obligation though to source the original vintage ordered if it is no longer available.

4.6 Any complaint is taken very seriously and we endeavour to respond to complaints as soon as possible. If for any reason you are unhappy with your wine please let us know to allow us to rectify the problem as soon as possible.

4.7 If you are not completely satisfied with your wine for any reason, please advise us immediately so that we can arrange collection, then simply return your unopened wine in it’s original packaging and we will process a refund.
