Do you offer international shipping?

Unfortunately at this stage we only ship within Australia

What if I am not home when my parcel arrives?

Your order will be left attended at your address, unless specified otherwise.
Please note that deliveries may not occur at an unattended address if any of the following circumstances apply (as assessed by our delivery partners at the time of delivery);

  • The address is unclear, ambiguous or has a current re-direction or hold in place
  • There is a risk that minors may access the alcohol
  • The site cannot be safely accessed
  • There is no secure location to leave the goods
  • There is no suitable location to leave the goods that is not visible from the street or public view.
  • There is a possibility the goods will be damaged (e.g. due to weather, interference, damage by pets etc.)

For Australia Post deliveries, the driver will leave a note for you to collect your local at your local post office. Parcels are kept at the post office for five days – you will receive another note to remind you to pick it up. It will then be kept at the post office for five more days. If the parcel has not been collected by then, it will be returned to our warehouse.
For all other couriers, the order will be returned back to base or our Warehouse and a re-delivery will need to be arranged.

Note: for residential deliveries being made by Australia Post, they can occur as early as 7am. For business addresses, the delivery will be made during standard business hours, 9am to 5pm AEST.

Indentification

Emperor supports the responsible service of alcohol. It is against the law to sell or supply to, or obtain alcohol on behalf of, a person under the age of 18 years. You must be over 18 years of age to place an order online or over the phone, or receive a delivery.

Returns

Due to the perishable and delicate nature of Champagne we do not allow returns of stock unless the bottle was damaged or corked.

Change of mind

We have a strong quality control of storage and shipping and once the stock has left our warehouse and been delivered to you we cannot guarantee correct storage or treatment of wines.

Our expert panel has selected the best of the Champagne category so we can assure you all champagnes on our site are wonderful but they may not be to your personal taste. Please let us know if you did not enjoy a certain champagne so we can add this to your personal profile which will help to send you future champagnes that suit your taste.

Please note we can not and will not accept any change of minds. Please make your Champagne selection carefully. If you are unsure of your choice/s please contact our friendly Customer Service Team on 1800 CHAMPAGNE Monday to Friday 9am – 5pm AEST or Contact Us.

Corked wine

If you open your bottle and note that the wine is corked please contact us for a replacement. A replacement will take approximately 7 days as we will need to authorize a replacement with the importer.
Corked wine is natural and you may notice an aroma of wet cardboard, or a dusty, mouldy smell. Sometimes this is subtle and sometimes it is strong. If your Champagne smells fine but has no bubbles, try rinsing your flutes with hot water to make sure there is not detergent residue as this can be a bubble killer!

Please contact our team via email or phone with your corked bottle and we will contact the importer and have it replaced. Please note you will need to send the cork back to us for a replacement bottle.

Incorrect product shipped

If the wrong product was shipped according to what you had selected and paid for via the system then a replacement or full refund will be offered.
