Corked or bad bottle?
Any older vintage or library wines are purchased at the buyer’s risk. We will not accept any returns on bottles that have been opened, and we do not issue refunds on wines.
Current or recently released wines will be accepted for returns, with a minimum of two-thirds of the contents to verify the defect. Because our products are perishable, we cannot guarantee wines that have been out of our possession for 30 days. After the 30 days window, we cannot make exceptions to the policy even in the event of a bad bottle.
Please note that all bad bottles must be returned to finding.wine for inspection by a manager before a refund or credit can be issued. If you cannot bring the bottle into the store, a Customer Service representative can assist you with a return shipment. Recork the bottle as tightly as possible and pack it safely in a box. Finding.wine will send you a return label at no additional cost. No restocking fees apply to bad bottle refunds once verified.
Note on older vintages: Finding.wine takes extensive effort to source wines that have been appropriately handled from cellar conditions to transportation. Wines are sourced from leading importers and distributors. All wines are carefully inspected before selling to ensure integrity in each one of our library products. All older vintages and library wines are purchased at the buyer's risk in case of a problem. We will not accept any returns on bottles that have been opened, and we do not issue refunds on wines.
Shipping Regulations:
Within the United States, many states have laws regulating the shipment of wine into their jurisdiction and may limit the amount of wine that can enter the state without permits or licenses. By placing an order with Finding.wine, you are expressly representing and warranting that you have reviewed any pertinent local and state laws before purchasing wine on this website and that your purchase complies with all applicable local, state, and federal laws and regulations.
A street address at which an adult over 21 years of age or older is available during daytime hours to receive wine is required. We therefore recommend a business address wherever possible. Wine cannot be shipped to a P.O. Box nor to an APO address.
Buyer also acknowledges that finding.wine does not recommended ground shipping during extreme temperatures due the fact that the ground shipping may take more than 5 days; shipping times do not include Saturday and Sunday.
Buyer, therefore agrees to indemnify and hold harmless finding.wine and its affiliates for any harm, damage, claims, liabilities and losses arising caused by extreme temperatures or temperature fluctuations that may occur during transport
All shipping costs are to be paid by the purchaser.
If one or more items are not available for shipment, we will notify you to offer substitutions or make other arrangements.
Delivery Attempt
It is the Customer's responsibility to be present at delivery time. If no one is available to receive the package, a subsequent delivery attempt will be made. Whenever possible, we encourage you to use a commercial business address to ensure the fastest delivery time at a cheaper cost. If subsequent attempts are unsuccessful, your order will be returned to Finding.wine. The Customer will be required to incur the cost of shipping and handling, regardless of the Customer deciding to cancel the order. We charge a 15% cancellation fee for all canceled orders. Should the shipment be unable to deliver, the Customer will be responsible for the cost of return shipment and subsequent charge to resend the wines.
