Delivery Terms & Conditions

• We aim for goods to be dispatched within 24 hours of receipt of order (subject to all stock being on the premises at South Downs Cellars, Hurstpierpoint).  If stock needs to be transferred from the warehouse, this may take slightly longer.  
• Our local delivery service is offered on deliveries of all wines and beers in stock, local to South Downs Cellars (in Hurstpierpoint and Lindfield), with a minimum order of 6 bottles or £50.
• Regional and national deliveries are carried out Monday-Friday. Some local deliveries are possible on Saturdays after 6pm for items in stock, however please call our shops to  confirm.
• If a wine is not in stock, you shall be contacted with a date when you can expect delivery, or to offer a substitution. 
• If you require your order urgently, please make sure this is made clear when placing the order.  Please ensure adequate instructions are noted in the delivery details on your order.
