Insurance

Insurance is a necessary expense and at WineSafe it is compulsory. Whilst your wines are in our care, they are insured against breakage or theft by a staff member, under our own insurance cover at no cost to you. Due to the combined value of the cellars we hold, we have an insurance rate that's hard to beat. Full insurance cover against fire, earthquake and burglary costs just 1.25% of the agreed value of your wine.

Deposit & withdrawal fees

These are administration fees which are charged on a per visit/same day basis. 
A closed case is one that comes with an owner or winery supplied inventory of its contents, and does not require opening. An open case is one that we must open in order to inventory.

For depositing and withdrawing purposes, a case can mean either 6 or 12 bottles.

Deposits

• 1st case - $12.00 - open or closed
• $6.00 per case - subsequent closed case deposit - Client inventoried
• $12.00 per case - subsequent open case deposit - WineSafe inventoried

Withdrawls

• 1st case- $12.00 / $18.00 mixed*
• $ 6.00 per case - subsequent case withdrawal same visit
• $18.00 per case - subsequent mixed* case withdrawal - same visit, client specified 

*A mixed case can contain wines sourced from up to 3 other cases.

Couriers & Packing

If we are required to prepare cases for courier delivery, the resources used and the time involved increases somewhat. We charge $5 or $10 per 6/12 bottle case for time and materials, depending on condition. If the box is fine as is, it's $5. If we have to re-box/repack it - it's $10. Styrofoam tubes are extra.

N.B. Our insurance cover does not extend to wines in transit. Both courier and freight companies  view those wines as belonging to you, not us. 

Wines that are purchased from Truffle that do not enter WineSafe, are viewed differently, and are covered under our shop insurance.
