Cellaring fees may apply if your auction purchases remain in our care beyond the applicable shipping window and are not covered by an automatic delivery preference.
The fee
Calculated at $0.40 per bottle, per month.
When cellaring fees begin
If your wines are not covered by an automatic delivery preference, cellaring fees may begin from the 21st day of the month following your purchase. For example, a purchase made in March would attract cellaring fees from 21 April, if not yet dispatched.
If your wines are held under consolidated shipping, the cycle runs from the oldest unshipped invoice in your account. Where that invoice is more than 30 days old, it will fall outside automatic consolidated shipping and cellaring fees may apply.
How fees are charged
Cellaring fees are generally charged to the nominated credit card on your account, processed at 5pm on the 21st of each month. If a payment is unsuccessful, we will contact you to arrange an alternative.
If fees remain unsettled
If cellaring fees remain unsettled for 30 calendar days, LANGTONS may cease cellaring the wines and, in line with our Terms and Conditions, re-sell or otherwise dispose of them.
Avoiding cellaring fees
To avoid cellaring fees, you may:
- enable auto shipping or consolidated shipping in your account
- arrange dispatch or collection before the 21st of the month
