Send Champagne and Gifts to London from Melbourne
Melbourne is between nine and eleven hours ahead of London, depending on the time of year. Order in your evening and the gift arrives in London's morning or early afternoon. Our licensed dispatch unit in Battersea delivers across Greater London 24 hours a day, typically in 30–45 minutes.
Nothing is shipped from Australia. The gift is dispatched in London, so there is no customs, no duty and no fortnight in the post.

Questions from Melbourne
Can I send to family outside London?
Yes. We deliver across mainland UK, with express (1–2 business days) and standard (3–5 business days) options shown at checkout. Allow for that around Christmas.
Who can accept the delivery?
Someone aged 18 or over. We check age on every alcohol delivery, and under our
Challenge 25 policy anyone who looks under 25 will be asked for photo ID.
Will the recipient pay customs or duty?
No. The order is fulfilled inside the UK with UK duty already paid, so nothing crosses a border.
Do I need a UK card or billing address?
No. Only the delivery address has to be in the UK. Your card and billing address can be where you are.
