We will advise you if your order goes over the maximum weight before adding on the additional charge. Delivery to more remote areas of the UK may take longer and incur a surcharge. If you have a deadline for delivery please advise us at the time of ordering and please include a contact number so we can inform you if there is a problem.

Important Delivery Information
Our courier company attempts delivery twice if necessary and leaves a contact card if the recipient is not in. If the recipient does not then call their local depot, the parcel is returned to us after a week – the cost of which will be passed on to the customer. If the parcel is returned to us and you do not wish us to re-send it, only the cost of the product minus the initial delivery charge and the return charge will be refunded. To re-send the parcel after this will incur a further delivery charge. Therefore we strongly advise all customers to:
- use a work address for delivery where possible (as the cost of returning a parcel will be charged at cost to the customer).
- Leave an instruction at the time of ordering for the parcel to be left with a neighbour.
- Contact the local depot as soon as the card arrives.
- We strongly advise against leaving goods without a signature. We will not be liable for any losses incurred in this way.
Order Returns
If Drinkswell.co.uk has accepted an order from you (acceptance will be communicated via an email on receipt of your order), and you wish to withdraw from the contract, you may do so by communicating that wish to us within 24 hours of our acceptance. If you have already received the goods and they are unwanted, you must return the goods to us at your own cost and risk. It is imperative that you contact us within 5 days of receipt of goods. Provided the goods are returned in the same condition as we supplied then to you, we shall reimburse all monies paid by you for those goods minus the initial delivery charge. For further information, please contact us by phone or email.
Damage in Transit
If the goods are damaged at the time of delivery, you can refuse to sign for the parcel. The parcel will be returned to us and we will arrange for a new delivery. Our courier company usually informs us of broken consignments before they attempt delivery, and we will endeavour to let customers know as soon as possible.
Drinkswell.co.uk shall replace, free of charge, goods lost or damaged in transit, providing that the Buyer shall give notice by telephone, email or mail, confirming the nature of the loss and damage within 3 days of delivery.
