For members who live outside the United Kingdom, we offer the following services:
Channel Islands
The Wine Society offers an export service to the Channel Islands enabling members to purchase wines free of UK duty and VAT.
The majority of The Society’s listed wines can be exported free of UK duty and VAT (that is ‘in-bond’) from our bonded warehouse. Customs and Excise regulations mean that we are able to supply unmixed cases only, or unmixed half-bottle cases, where these are available.
Wines will be charged to you at the time or ordering inclusive of the shipping / delivery charge, together with local taxes & agent fee.
The Society arranges two group consignments a year: one in July and one in time for Christmas:
| Unmixed Cases from | Order Deadline | Consignment Arrival |
| Current listed range | 30 April | By June/July |
| Current listed range | 30 October | In time for Christmas |
Our charges are outlined below:
| Jersey & Guernsey | Delivery | £21 door to door |
| Agent Fee | 1% of total duty charge | |
| Alderney & Sark | Delivery | £32 port only |
| Agent Fee | 1% of total duty charge |
Delivery charge is per case.
The order deadlines provide The Society with four to six weeks to prepare the necessary paperwork & local customs clearance. Once wines have arrived in the Channel Islands, members will be notified by the shipping agent.
If you would like to place an order or have any further questions, please telephone 01438 741177 and ask for the Export Department. Alternatively, please email export@thewinesociety.com.
Please note delivery charges are subject to change.
