Delivery of liquor products as per confirmed orders will be made to the nominated address on your order.
All deliveries made will be by road freight directly to your nominated address unless otherwise stated in our confirmation of order.
All liquor products delivered must be signed for on delivery. If no one is available at the nominated address when delivery is attempted, the liquor products will be retained by the courier, in which case notification of the attempted delivery will be given.
The delivery of liquor products will require proof of age on delivery. Failure to supply such proof will render the sale null and void.

Namaqua has outsourced all delivery and collection arrangements. Accordingly, Namaqua shall not be liable for any damage suffered or loss incurred by reason of any act or omission of the courier, its directors or members, employees, sub contractors, agents, representatives and/or affiliates.
Namaqua shall not be liable for any loss occasioned by any delay in the delivery of any order, nor for any loss, damage, or misplacement of any wine products ordered from us after delivery has been made to your nominated delivery address. Liquor products are only insured by Namaqua up to the point of delivery. For the sake of clarity, it is recorded that the above provisions shall not apply to international buyers and the time, place and other relevant terms of delivery and insurance shall be set out by Namaqua in the confirmation of order and international buyers agree to be bound to such terms when placing any orders in terms hereof.
