Ordering and Delivery Process
Upon receipt of your order and payment, we will begin preparing your order for delivery to the address you have stipulated. Your order will be shipped with only minimal purchase information (such as “gift”) and prices will be set at €00.10. This is especially helpful if you have bought your selection as a gift and have asked us to deliver to your chosen recipient’s address. You can of course retrieve your full purchase information by viewing your account with us online. Please do contact us if you need help retrieving your login, password, or purchase information or if you have any other questions about your order.
Vinilu.be has selected DPD and Partners as our chosen distribution agent. Other means of delivery are possible. However the best modus of delivery remains fully at choice of Vinilu.be, in order to guarantee you the best service.
Terms and conditions
Once your information has been sent through we must consider your order confirmed. Orders may then be packaged and shipped as early as 2 hours or less after an order has been received through the system. So please check your order carefully before submitting and be sure to notify us of any changes or cancellations immediately. Once an order has been packed for shipping, we, unfortunately, cannot guarantee a cancellation without applying some administration fees.
Return Policy
We do want you to be happy with your wine and to continue a long-term friendship with you. In case you are not happy with your selection and would like to return some bottles in exchange for perhaps something different we will do our best to help you. Generally, we will accept a return of any wine that is unopened within the 14 days of purchase. Specials or
Promotions might be excluded from this, but if necessary do feel free to check with us.
However, please understand that we may have to charge a restocking fee of up to 12% of the returned merchandise and cannot refund shipping charges.
Wine Transport Quality Assurance
All of our wines are stored in a climate-controlled environment and we caringly check and maintain the condition of all our wines as best possible. Our wines are packed and transported in specially designed and certified bottle shippers that protect the bottles and their contents from predictable damage during shipping. Upon delivery, you will be asked to confirm that all is in order (and generally to sign for your purchase). In the unlikely event that you are delivered a cracked, leaking, or otherwise sub-standard bottle, please do let us know right away. If you do receive a spoiled wine, please save the rest of the bottle until you have contacted customer service; we might ask for a photo and/or for it to be returned to our location. In the interest of maintaining the highest quality customer care we will offer you a choice of a replacement wine or a credit note as relevant. Please note: We must be notified of any spoilage or damage within 15 days maximum from the time you receive your wine. Also, all wines and spirits over 10 years old are at the buyer’s risk, unless otherwise noted.

Weather Conditions – Extraordinary Circumstances
We ship our wines using industry-standard transport. Generally, this is sufficient to assure the quality of all orders on board. However, wine can be damaged by temperature extremes. We, therefore, reserve the right to hold your shipment during extreme weather conditions. Hence, so as to guarantee a quality delivery and product for you, during the hottest or coldest times of the year it can happen that we will delay shipments until the next immediately appropriate time. We may therefore also hold orders so as to prevent packages being stored over the weekend in the transporters’ facilities. Please be aware, that it is your responsibility to advise us what temperatures are in your area and that we cannot be held responsible if you request shipment and the wines travel in/to a climate outside an acceptable temperature range.
