Authority to Leave

For deliveries completed by the Rochford Wines delivery team within the Yarra Valley and Greater Melbourne, you may provide Authority to Leave (ATL) instructions at the time of ordering. By providing Authority to Leave, you authorise our driver to leave your order at the nominated location without obtaining a signature.

Once your order has been delivered in accordance with your Authority to Leave instructions, the risk of loss, theft, damage, weather exposure or deterioration passes to you. Rochford Wines accepts no responsibility or liability for any loss, theft, damage or other issues arising after the order has been left at the nominated location.

If Authority to Leave is not provided, a signature will be required upon delivery where practicable. If no one is available to accept the delivery, or if the delivery is outside our local delivery area, your order may be sent via Australia Post or another nominated carrier. Where a signature cannot be obtained, the parcel may be transferred to the nearest Australia Post outlet or carrier collection point for collection in accordance with the carrier’s standard delivery procedures.

Rochford Wines reserves the right to refuse Authority to Leave instructions where, in our reasonable opinion, the nominated location is unsuitable or where the contents require a signature due to legal or regulatory requirements.

Heat Policy

During the warmer months, Rochford reserves the right to delay the shipping of wine, as the product could become affected by heat stress during transport. This is done to protect the quality of the wine and reduce the chance of wine being delivered with taint from heat exposure. Although every effort is made to avoid heat exposure at the winery, we can’t guarantee that our products won’t be impacted by high temperatures once the wine has left the winery, especially if it has a long way to travel. Please ensure shipping instructions account for the wine to be left in a suitable, shade/cool position at your delivery address to further assist in protecting your order from heat exposure. For more information on our heat policy, please contact our team at cellardoor@rochfordwines.com.au

Returns Policy

Wine will be replaced if the wine is damaged during transit or if the incorrect wines have been shipped with your order. We do not offer refunds in these circumstances. All our wines pass a stringent quality assurance test during production. If you have any queries or feedback regarding your Rochford wine purchase, or to arrange for a replacement for damaged/incorrect stock, please contact our team at cellardoor@rochfordwines.com.au

Change of mind order cancellations or exchange will only be considered if the order has not yet left our warehouse. In this instance the original order will be refunded and a new order processed. Please note refunds can take up to 3 business days to appear on your statement once processed by us.
