Making A Purchase

Making a purchase could not be easier, just browse our store and add any items that you wish to buy into the shopping cart. After you have finished your selection, click on 'Checkout' and you will be asked for a few details that we need to be able to complete the order.

We accept card payments from Amex, Visa and MasterCard. 

 

If you are shopping from overseas we can only deliver within the UK, (see shipping for the full details of shipping) but it is possible to place an order for delivery to the UK.

If you have made a mistake in your order and cannot correct it in the shopping cart, contact us and we will sort it out.

When confirmation of your order is received, this is to indicate that we have received your order. It does not indicate that a contract exists between us. We will indicate acceptance of your order, and hence a contract between us, when we send you an invoice. We have included this term to protect us in the case that a mistake has been made in pricing and we have inadvertently underpriced goods, or we are no longer able to supply a particular product for some reason. In the case of a change of price, we will always contact you first to ensure that the price is acceptable.

We will not be held responsible for pricing errors due to software mal-functions, or human error. This website operates on an 'invitation to treat' basis and not as an 'offer for sale' as a result, Paul Adams T/as Fine Wines reserves the right to decline orders for bulk or high value purchases.
