TOP FIFTEEN QUESTIONS

 

1. Do I need to login to start shopping?

Yes, you will need to login (or register as a new customer if you have never bought from us before) to complete your purchase.

However we do encourage you to login first before you start shopping for our great bargains.

 

2. How do I find out when a product you've sold out of is back in stock?

Click into the product and leave your email address to be notified when it’s back in stock….often this will only take a couple of days.

 

3. A product you used to have listed is no longer on your website, what happened?

This means we either it's no longer available or we can't get a date when it will be away again so we've removed it to stop the website getting cluttered with 'out of stock' products.

 

4. Can you deliver to a PO Box?

We currently use PBT Couriers and they don't deliver to PO Boxes sorry.

 

5. Are you guys legit?

Not according to our wives, so if you’re having doubts too (sometimes are prices seem too good to be true), then perhaps check out our Facebook page which has over 13,000 likes (some of your friends might be one of them) and over 100 reviews. You're also welcome to give us a email (info@whiskyandmore.co.nz) or a phone call on 029 773 0394.

 

6. Do I have to sign for the delivery?

Yes, unless you select ATL (authority to leave). The Courier then leaves your  deliveries at your nominated delivery address but you bear any risk involved with this.

 

7. Can I see what's new on your website?

Yes, we have a new arrivals page on the website. Go to it and click next to 'sort by' and chose 'date, new to old'.

Due to limited space we don’t list every new arrival on the website here, just those that we think are of most interest.

 

8. Do you have a retail store?

No, not at this stage. We’re online only and that allows us to keep our costs low and pass on the savings to you guys.

 

9. Sometimes your prices don’t make sense ie. A Giftpack might be cheaper than the bottle by itself or your 1000ml bottle might be cheaper than the 700ml.  What's the story?

This all comes down to deals. Sometimes we can source products cheaper direct from suppliers overseas than we can from New Zealand distributors and we pass the savings onto our customers. So hence you’ll sometimes see prices that don’t make sense but it all comes down to what deals are available at the time.

 

10. You’re way cheaper than my local bottle store on some products but not on others?

This depends on where we source the product. If we purchase it direct from a overseas supplier then we can often offer it much cheaper than if we purchased off the NZ middleman but when we have to purchase from the local NZ market then we have to build their margin into our pricing.

 

11. Is the gift wrapping charge per bottle?

Yes, if you buy three bottles and pay for one gift wrap then one bottle gets gift wrapped, not all three. So in these instances please specify which bottles you'd like wrapped.

 

12. When going to pay why am I sometimes being asked extra security questions?

This is a result of 3DS / Verified by Visa. It typically occurs if you are spending outside of your normal spending profile and your bank therefore insists extra security questions are answered by yourself before they’ll let us process your payment. I know this may be annoying but it usually only takes a minute and is for your protection.

 

13. I wanted a bottle on special but you’ve sold out?

If we sell out often we’ll order more stock straight away and it’ll get to us in a day or two and we’ll honour that price so please drop us a line (info@whiskyandmore.co.nz) and we’ll put you on the wait list.

 

14. Why don’t you advertise the percentage discount for your products on sale?

Because it’s illegal to advertise discounts of greater than 25% so we don't want to risk getting caught out with this.

 

15. Do you ship to addresses outside New Zealand?
Sometimes, please email us your requirements - info@whiskyandmore.co.nz

 

16. When viewing from a Mobile device your 'Give us feedback' link covers the 'Contact Us' button 

Turn your phone on its side and you can access it.
