Can I purchase at Winerite without logging in or registering?
All customers are required to first register before being able to purchase. The account registration form is simple to complete. Most account registrations are activated within 1 hour during normal business hours, provided all the information on the online account registration form has been provided accurately. As Winerite is for trade only, we are required to perform due diligence checks on all prospective customers before an account can be activated. Once you register for an account and it is approved, you can start to purchase immediately. You can also view past orders, download invoices, create a favorites list, save multiple business addresses in your address book and experience a streamlined checkout experience. At Winerite, we endeavour to make the purchase experience as simple and user-friendly as possible. |

How can I specify a delivery address which is different to the invoice address for my order?
In the checkout you enter your shipping address first. You are later prompted as to whether your invoice address is the same as the delivery address. If not simply move the slider to say NO, and you will be prompted for the invoice address. It's really simple. |
|
|
How can I pay for my order if I have problems paying online?
To avoid most issues which can occur when paying for your order online, please make sure the Invoice Address you enter on the Winerite website is the same as the address to which to which your card is registered.
Providing an incorrect Invoice/Billing Address can result in the transaction not being authorised and the order may be subject to further transaction checks which can delay dispatch.
Also, please make sure the security code entered is exactly as shown on your card. The security code is the last 3 digits, usually printed on the signature strip.
If you experience any problems using the online payment method, you can also call Winerite on 0113 365 1050 for assistance in paying for your order. |

Do you have a minimum order level?

FREE Mainland UK delivery is provided for orders over £450 (£375 ex VAT) in value.

I'm having problems with making payment by card, what do I do?
This can be due to :
- the 3 digit Security Code (this is the last three digits above the signature strip on your card or the last 4 digits on the front of your card for American Express) being entered incorrectly.
- your Invoice/Billing Address entered during checkout is incorrect (this is the address to which your Card is registered)
- your Card Issuing bank has put your card on hold.
If you originally entered any of the above details incorrectly please amend accordingly for any further transaction attempts. Please note the Invoice/Billing Address entered during checkout must be the same as the address to which the Card is registered.
If you continue to experience any difficulties paying for your order, you can call Winerite on 0113 365 1050. A member of the team will then be able to assist you in placing your order (office hours: 9.30am - 5.30pm, Monday - Friday).
As an alternative payment method, you can select "Payment by Bank Transfer". You will then be sent bank account details to send payment for your order. |

Can I specify a delivery date for my order?
Yes, you can specify a delivery date request for your order on the checkout page.
We appreciate some businesses are not open everyday of the week. As such, you can request delivery on a particular day, Monday to Friday or Saturday. Simply enter your delivery date request in the respective box on the checkout page. This will then be picked up by the orders system.
If you leave the preferred delivery date blank, this will be interpreted by the dispatch warehouse that the order is required asap. |

What if there's no one in at the time of delivery?
Not a problem. You can rearrange the delivery of your order with our courier partners via the couriers website or if you receive a text message regarding a missed delivery you may be able to rearrange delivery that way too. Delivery must be rearranged within 48 hours to help ensure the order is not automatically returned to the dispatch warehouse.
Our courier partners are instructed not to leave orders without first obtaining a signature or image capture at the time of delivery, to acknowledge receipt..
Our couriers will attempt delivery on up to 2 separate occasions. The second delivery attempt is usually made the following working day unless the courier is instructed otherwise.
If delivery is not possible on the second attempt the order can be collected from the couriers delivery depot for free. Our couriers will hold the order for up to five days after the second delivery attempt, thereafter the order will be returned to the respective dispatch warehouse.
A majority of orders are delivered successfully on the first attempt. We recommend where possible, the delivery address you provide is one where there is the best chance of successful delivery the first time.
You can also track the progress of your order by clicking on the link provided within the email you will be sent once your order has been dispatched.
Many of our courier partners send a text message on the day of delivery, to advise the order is on its way. This can only be sent to customers who provide a mobile contact number. Many of our courier partners are also now sending a text message with an estimated delivery time window on the day of delivery . |
