WHAT IF I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY ORDER?
We want you to be satisfied with every aspect of your experience. If for any reason you are dissatisfied, we would love to hear from you and have the opportunity to make you happy.
MERCHANDISE DAMAGED IN SHIPPING
It is unusual to receive a damaged product from Siwela Wines. However, in the event you do experience a problem with a shipment, please let us know! We can replace your wine, issue you a Siwela Wines account credit or process a refund for your damaged items. The choice is yours.
INCORRECT OR MISSING ITEMS
Although the occasion is rare, if we made a packing error, we would like to resolve it for you! In the event that we shipped you incorrect items, we may ask you to hold on to those items and the existing packaging so that we can arrange for a return pick up. If you find that items are missing from your order, we are happy to assist you to process a new order, Siwela Wines account credit or a refund for your missing items. The choice is yours.
RETURNING AN UNWANTED ORDER
We are happy to assist with any returns for items purchased that you no longer want or need. Please let us know and we will arrange for the return and advise on expenses.
