Customer Service FAQ

If you would like assistance placing an order, or have any other questions please call us at 1-844-989-9463 Ext. 1

Delivery

I want delivery of an item available in a store, can I order it for delivery?

Most of our deliveries come from 2 locations, so when you see “Available For Delivery” the inventory is at those stores. Sometimes the other stores will show an item is available for pick up. If you want that item delivered, the fastest way to get it is to call us at 1-844-989-9463 ext 1. We can arrange to deliver from the store that has the inventory, and possibly the other items you are looking for from the same store. In some cases we may have to split the shipment resulting in a delivery charge. If part of your order is over $200 delivery will still be free for that portion.  

Do you have free delivery?

We offer free delivery on orders over $200 before taxes, with some exceptions. Our free shipping offer does not apply to all areas of the province. A shipping charge may be calculated at check out when the delivery address and postal code is entered. When you've made your selections, simply click on Check Out and we'll take you through the process. You can expect your wine to arrive within 3-5 business days! Please note that you must be of legal drinking age to accept the delivery of wine. Wine shipments will NOT be left unattended by couriers.

How much is delivery if my order is under $200 (before tax)?

Our standard delivery (3-5 business days) is $24.99.

How can I manage my deliveries?

We use a variety of carriers, if your delivery is being done by Fedex (you will see this in your shipment notification) we strongly suggest you sign up for Fedex's delivery management system.

Why is there a second charge on my statement?

Everything Wine places a preauthorization on your card for the dollar amount of the order. Once the order has been completed and prior to any changes made and payment settled, the hold of funds will be removed. You may temporarily see what looks like two charges.

The timing of release/cancelation of preauthorization's vary between banking institutions. 

Products

I am looking for a product you don't carry, can you order it in for me?

If a wine is available with our suppliers, we are able to arrange special orders. Not all wines are available with our suppliers, but we are always happy to check availability of products. 

If the special order is for products we don’t normally carry, we require orders to be in case amounts. We can also order in large volumes of product, if you need a larger amount than what we usually carry in store.    

Products vary in lead time but typically take 2-3 weeks to arrive. If you have strict deadlines, we recommend ordering at least 3 weeks in advance.

The product I want is in stock at a different location, how can I order it for delivery?

On our website, when you select delivery, it automatically shows the inventory at our delivery hubs. If the product you’re looking for shows not in stock for delivery but is available at another store, please contact our E-Commerce desk at 1-844-989-9463 ext 1. Our phone staff can place the order for you.

How accurate are the inventory levels shown online?

We are usually able to fulfill 99% of online items but due to a high volume of orders and recent supply chain issues, some items may not be available. If we must remove any items from your order, you won’t be charged for them. If we remove items, it will not affect your free shipping or 5% case offer.

What happens if the product I ordered online is out of stock?

We are usually able to fulfill 99% of online items but during sales and in times of seasonally high volume, some items may not be available. If we must remove any items from your order, you won’t be charged for them. If we remove items, it will not affect your free shipping or 5% case offer.

Why aren't vintages listed on products?

Some products will have vintages, and we would love to have vintages listed on all our products. Unfortunately, we are unable to because the product codes which are used to verify product and are set by the BCLDB, do not always change between vintages. In addition, because we have multiple locations, vintages may vary between stores depending on how quickly the product moves. If you would like to know the vintage of a particular item, please contact your preferred store and we would be happy to check for you.

The person I sent a digital gift card to said they did not receive it, what can I do?

If you sent the gift card to a business e-mail, it may have bounced as some business have strict spam filters that stop e-mails. We can resend the gift card as many times as needed. It can be sent to the same e-mail address or to a different one entirely. The gift card can also be texted to a mobile number.

How do I check the balance of a digital or physical gift card?

To check your digital or physical gift card you can create an account, then on the account main page there is a Gift Card link in the menu on the left. You can enter your card information there and it will show you the balance. You can also visit any of our stores and they can check it for you.
