Terms & Conditions

Welcome to The Bargain Bottle Shop

We're delighted you've found us. We're passionate about rescuing perfectly good bottles from warehouses, clearance sales and forgotten corners of the drinks world.

By using our website, you agree to these Terms & Conditions. Don't worry… they're considerably shorter than a Russian novel and far more enjoyable than assembling flat-pack furniture.

Who We Are

The Bargain Bottle Shop is a trading name of Tipple Tours Ltd. Throughout these terms, "we", "us" and "our" refer to The Bargain Bottle Shop. "You" refers to the sensible person looking for bargain booze.

Age Restrictions

We sell alcohol. That means:

• You must be 18 years or older to purchase alcoholic products.
• By placing an order, you confirm that you are at least 18.
• We operate Challenge 25.
• Our delivery partners may ask for photo ID.
• If suitable ID can't be provided, your alcohol won't be delivered.

Sorry. Blame Parliament.

Prices

We try very hard not to make mistakes. However: sometimes humans type. Sometimes computers have a funny five minutes.

If we accidentally list a £300 whisky for £3.00, we'll contact you before dispatching your order. Sadly, that doesn't make it legally yours. Nice try though.

Product Availability

Our stock changes constantly. Sometimes we only have:

• one bottle
• six bottles
• an entire pallet because somebody clearly ordered too much.

When it's gone… it's gone.

Best Before Products

Many of our bargains are discounted because they're close to or past their Best Before date. We'll always tell you if that's the case.

Remember: Best Before doesn't mean "unsafe after". It simply means the manufacturer believes the product is at its best before that date. Many wines, spirits, liqueurs and mixers remain perfectly enjoyable well beyond it when stored correctly.

Product Images

We photograph products ourselves whenever possible. Sometimes colours vary slightly. Sometimes packaging changes. Sometimes manufacturers decide today's label wasn't exciting enough. The liquid inside is what matters.

Orders

When you place an order, you'll receive an email confirming we've received it. That's not the same as acceptance. Your order is accepted once we've dispatched it.

Payment

Payments are processed securely using trusted payment providers. We don't store your full card details. Mostly because we'd have absolutely no idea what to do with them.

Delivery

We'll do our best to dispatch your order promptly. Once it leaves us, delivery times depend on the courier. If your parcel decides to tour Britain before arriving, we'll help chase it down.

Local Delivery

Where available, local delivery operates within our advertised postcode areas. Challenge 25 still applies. Your neighbour's teenager cannot accept your order.

Returns

If something isn't right, we'll always try to put it right. Please see our Returns Policy for full details. We cannot accept returns on opened bottles unless they're faulty. "Just checking it tasted okay" is not a manufacturing defect.

Promotions

Occasionally we'll run discounts, offers and voucher codes. We reserve the right to:

• withdraw offers
• change promotions
• accidentally create deals that are far too generous before somebody notices.

Reviews

We love honest reviews. Even if you think our jokes are terrible. We may display reviews on our website unless you ask us not to.

Acceptable Use

Please don't:

• Attempt to hack our website.
• Upload malicious software.
• Pretend to be someone else.
• Order alcohol if you're under 18.
• Ask us to declare whisky as "olive oil."

Limitation of Liability

We work hard to ensure our website is accurate and reliable. However, we can't guarantee:

• uninterrupted access
• that every product will always be available
• that buying one bottle won't somehow lead to buying six more.

Our liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by UK law. Nothing in these Terms limits your statutory consumer rights.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will be dealt with by the courts of England and Wales. Hopefully it never comes to that. Life's too short.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Usually because:

• the law changed
• our website changed
• somebody cleverer than us suggested improvements.

The latest version will always appear here.
