CUSTOMER DETAILS & DELIVERY SECTION IF YOU FAX YOUR ORDER, PLEASE WRITE YOUR NAME ON BOTH PAGES ** Delivery instructions are important - enter delivery address below ** A business address that is open between 9am & 5pm where someone is able to receive the wine is preferable. However if we are delivering to a private address, Australia Post has the provision on its label for a brief instruction of where you are happy for wine to be left if no one is home. (i.e. on front porch under cover, in garage on left side of house, by front door out of weather etc.) If there is nowhere safe and nobody home they will leave a card and take delivery to nearest Australia Post outlet.
