Refunds & Returns

Returns Procedure / Unwanted items:

We are able to cancel your order whilst within the order processing status, however, once the order status has changed to Order at Depot or Completed and Dispatched and dispatched to the courier, orders cannot be recalled or stopped by a cancellation.

If the order is delivered and the items are unwanted and you wish to cancel your order you may do this within your rights of the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. You are obliged to retain possession of the goods and take reasonable care of them and ensure you inform us by email to myorder@thechampagnecompany.com with your name, address, email address and telephone number and details of the order you wish to cancel within 14 days of receiving the goods or services.

Please ensure you return the goods to us within 14 days of the cancellation (at your cost) and we strongly recommend using insured postage to the value of the goods as no refunds will be issued on goods that arrive damaged). We do not arrange collections for unwanted items. Please fill out the reason for return on the reverse of the delivery note and enclosed this with the product(s) being returned. Please package up securely and please remove any original dispatch labels.

We will reimburse to you the amount in relation to the goods to which the cancellation rights apply this includes the initial cost of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you choose a type of delivery other than our standard least expensive method of delivery). We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is either as a result of unnecessary handling by you, signs of damage or tampering or damage caused during transit of the goods back to us any of which may render the goods unsaleable. We will make the reimbursement no later than 14 days after the day we receive back from you any goods supplied.

Our usual order cancellation, returns and refund policy does not apply for bespoke 'made to order' goods or perishable goods which cannot be returned unless faulty.

Damaged or faulty goods:

Due to the nature of the products we send, some items are packed in airpacks for protection during transit. Please deflate the air pack carefully before removing the bottle. Yanking or pulling out the bottle/s before deflating may damage the label, wrap or seal on your bottle and render it unreturnable.

The Champagne Company will provide a replacement, credit or full refund if breakage occurs during transit or for products that are faulty. We must be notified of damaged or faulty products within 48hrs of delivery. We may require the faulty products to be returned to us so please keep all the original packing. In order to process a refund or replacement due to damage or breakage, a photograph of the damaged goods may need to be provided.

On the extremely rare occasion where you may have received a corked product or a product that does not taste or smell as it should, please ensure that you do not dispose of the contents or bottle as we will will be unable to assist further without the bottle and/or label when looking into this issue for you.

Damage to Gift Boxes: Where there is an upcharge for a gift boxed item over a standard bottle and a gift box is damaged, we will refund the difference paid. If there is no price difference or a gift box is standard then no refund can be applied. Items are sold for the bottle and contents but where we consider the gift box to be intrinsic to the product then a replacement may be sent. Boxes for the large format bottles, whilst attractive, are considered to be protective in nature and therefore any damage to these in transit is not eligible for replacement or refund.

If any replacements are required to be sent, this will be sent using a courier service by The Champagne Company at our cost. Should these be returned to us by the couriers following delivery attempts and or a card being left, any further redelivery costs will not be met by The Champagne Company.
