What's your delivery policy?
We use an outside courier to deliver our goods. All orders placed will be despatched and delivered Monday to Friday during working hours (8am to 6pm). Unfortunately, we are currently unable to specify what time goods will be delivered. Therefore we recommend to use business addresses, or private addresses where there will be someone to sign for the goods during our delivery hours.

The carrier will attempt to deliver the product 2 times, after which the intended recipient will be responsible for making arrangements with the carrier for delivery of the products. The carrier will return your order to Bijou bottles, usually within 7 days following the 2 attempts, if it has not been collected or a suitable redelivery agreed with the carrier. If the order subsequently needs to be despatched again either to the original address or an alternative address then this would be at the expense of the person who placed the original order.

Are there UK locations that you cannot deliver to?
For orders placed on the website, we can deliver to most addresses in the UK mainland (with the exception of PO Box addresses).

However, some large institutions such as educational establishments, corporate headquarters, government offices, hotels and hospitals can prove difficult to deliver to. In some cases, institutions many simply refuse any delivery of alcohol. At other sites, people are spread over multiple buildings with many different entrances and it can be difficult for the couriers to locate the intended recipient or the correct drop off point.
If you are wishing to send a gift to someone working or staying in one of these locations, please check the delivery rules and please make the delivery address as detailed as possible, to avoid disappointment.

I bought a bottle that was advertised as a specific year but you've sent me another vintage!?
By its very nature, wine is a product in a finite supply and vintages can often run out or be replaced at very short notice. We always endeavour to keep the information on the website up to date but we do reserve the right to send out different vintages from the ones advertised without notice. If you are especially keen on a specific vintage, please do call us on 01603 784 990 beforehand.

Once you've found something you like, just type in how many in the box next to the item and click on the "add" or "add to basket" button. The selected quantity of your chosen product will then be stored in your basket. As you add more products to the basket, you'll see a running total on the top right of your screen.

How do I enter a different recipients name and address?
The first thing that must be entered is the recipient's name. Please take care with this because many companies will refuse deliveries if the name doesn't match one of their employees. NB: This is limited to 30 characters.
Next you can choose the delivery address. You'll be given the choice of all of the addresses that you've saved on the site. You can either select one of these addresses or add a new address. If you have added a new address, remember to check that the address you want to use is the one selected by the radio button.

What are the delivery options?
We offer 2 types of delivery; "Standard", which is delivery within 4 working days and "Next Day", which guarantees delivery the next working day (please note, you must place your order before 3pm the day before delivery and that this service will not be available in certain areas)

Top of page

Why aren't all of the delivery options available to me?
We always offer "Standard" delivery. However, the availability of "Next Day" delivery is limited by a number of factors, such as the intended delivery address and stock availability. There are certain areas of the UK to which our couriers cannot guarantee next day delivery and consequently we do not offer that option if your order is to one of these regions.

Top of page

What payment options are there?
We accept Visa, Mastercard, Visa Debit, Maestro and American Express cards. We also cheques. - we do not accept Diners Club, JCB or Electron.

Please note: Orders paid for by cheque will not be released until the bank confirms that the funds have cleared.

Once you are happy that everything is a-ok, just press "continue to confirm order".

How can I tell what the status of the delivery is?
An order can either be "in progress", which means we still have it in our warehouse and are getting it ready or it can be "complete" which means that it's now left us and is in the hands of our couriers.

Can I amend an order that’s "in progress"?
As soon as you realise just email us at or phone us on 01603 784 990. We'll try our best to change any erroneous details but please be aware that we may not be able to change details at busy times of year or if the item has already been packed. Please have your order details at hand when you call.
