Send Champagne, Cognac and Gifts to London from Hong Kong
Hong Kong is seven hours ahead of London in the British summer and eight hours ahead in winter. That means an order placed in the middle of your working day would reach London in the small hours. Our licensed dispatch unit in Battersea delivers across Greater London 24 hours a day, typically in 30–45 minutes — so the trick is simply to order in your evening, and the gift arrives during London's day.
Everything is dispatched from London, so nothing is exported from Hong Kong: no customs, no duty and no delay for the person receiving it.

Questions from Hong Kong
Is the stock genuine?
Yes. Everything is bought from UK wholesalers approved under HMRC's Alcohol Wholesaler Registration Scheme, with UK duty paid. See
authenticity and sourcing.
Can I send to a student in the UK?
Only if they are 18 or over. We check age on every alcohol delivery under our
Challenge 25 policy, and anyone who looks under 25 will be asked for photo ID. For a younger recipient, choose
chocolates or
non-alcoholic gifts.
Do you deliver outside London?
Yes, across mainland UK, with express (1–2 business days) and standard (3–5 business days) options shown at checkout.
Will the recipient pay customs?
No. The order is fulfilled inside the UK.
