The Gourmet had a change of ownership on 1 November 2018 and is now owned by the bunch at Beerology. We’ve updated to a new system to bring you new and improved features to make purchasing your favourite wine deals easier. For security reasons, we require all past members to create a new account (using the same email address) if you would like to make a purchase, manage your wishlist, account preferences or access existing credit.

In our experience, the most common reason for a credit card payment to be declined is that the 3 digit security number (CCV security code) on your card was entered incorrectly. On Visa and Mastercard credit and debit cards, the CCV is printed on the back of the card. If a credit card number is provided with an incorrect CCV, the transaction will not be approved. Please also ensure that you have sufficient credit available on your credit card to complete the transaction. Not found what you are looking for? Submit an enquiry

Most of our orders are delivered by Australia Post, however some products may be shipped by other couriers. Not found what you are looking for? Submit an enquiry
Not at all! By purchasing from The Gourmet, you provide to authority to leave a parcel without your signature unless otherwise stated. This means the courier (e.g. Australia Post) will leave your parcel in a safe place if you are not at home. In the event that this is not possible, they will leave a card and the parcel will be sent to the closest Post Office for you to collect. There may also be other reasons why a card will be left: - Somebody was at home but they could not provide proof of age. - There was an authority to leave (and no one answered the door), but the driver was concerned that minors were present within the vicinity of the premises (e.g. children playing inside or outside of the house). Where the product is marked as “Can only ship with authority to leave” (you can find this information on the product page in the Shipping Info section), the courier will always leave the parcel at the shipping address if you are not home.

Authority to leave means that the courier can leave the parcel at the nominated shipping address if you are not home. Not found what you are looking for? Submit an enquiry
By purchasing from The Gourmet, you provide authority to leave a parcel without your signature, so you don’t need to do anything. If you do not want to provide authority to leave, please tell us when you add your item to your cart by responding with a ‘No’. You can also include delivery instructions with this response. Not found what you are looking for? Submit an enquiry
In most cases, you do not need to give authority to leave for us to ship to you. If you are not home when the parcel is delivered, the courier will leave a card and the parcel will be sent to the closest Post Office for you to collect. Some products can only be shipped if you give the authority to leave without signature. You can find this information on the product page in the Shipping Info section. If you do not give the authority to leave for orders containing these products, we unfortunately cannot ship to you. Not found what you are looking for? Submit an enquiry
