International Shipping Rates

Our shipping rates are calculated on the basis of a twelve-bottle case equivalent. Formats of any size — magnums, halves, fillette (50 cl), or litre bottles — are automatically converted into this count when quotations are prepared.

As all wines are sourced and held in bond, shipping is invoiced separately. Clients may elect to keep their wines in bond, either temporarily or for the longer term. This service is particularly suitable for fine wines intended to mature or appreciate in value.

Delivery charges are only incurred when bottles are released from bond. The sole exception concerns items designated “Duty Paid,” where shipping costs are charged at checkout.

Shipments outside the European Union are billed exclusive of VAT and may be subject to customs duties, import taxes and excise fees, payable directly to the courier.

Shipping Quality and Guarantee

All shipments are made using shock-resistant, heat-insulated export packaging designed specifically for fine and rare wines.

We guarantee all consignments against breakage, loss and transport damage. Both standard tracked and express courier services are available, with full door-to-door insurance. All handling is performed by specialists in high-value shipments.

Should a parcel arrive damaged, clients are requested to refuse delivery, note the issue on the courier’s slip, and notify office@ruepinard.com without delay. In the event of a significant delay beyond the stated timeframe, Rue Pinard will reimburse the shipping fees.

Postponement and Consolidation of Orders

To optimise shipping costs, clients may postpone release and combine multiple orders into a single consignment.

All paid orders benefit from ninety days of complimentary storage. After this period, storage fees will apply. Shipping charges are calculated on the combined case equivalent at the time of release.
