  • Shipping and Refunds: Orders, delivery, and refunds are governed by our Shipping Policy and refund policy.

Pre-Orders

From time to time, we may offer certain products for pre-order prior to their official release.

A pre-order allows you to reserve a product that has not yet been released or is still in production. By placing a pre-order, you secure your place in line for that product and agree to the following terms:

  • Payment in Full: All pre-orders must be paid in full at the time of checkout.
  • Indicative Release Dates Only: Any release or availability dates provided for pre-order products are estimates only and may change. Brewing, packaging, and logistics timelines can vary, and delays may occur outside of our control.
  • Delays, Changes, or Unavailability: If a pre-order is significantly delayed, changed, or cannot be fulfilled as planned, we will contact you and offer one or more options, which may include:
    • continuing with the pre-order,
    • modifying the order,
    • receiving store credit, or
    • cancelling the pre-order for a full refund.
  • Cancellations: Pre-orders may be cancelled in accordance with our standard cancellation terms, as outlined in these Terms and Conditions, our Refunds and Returns Policy, and our Shipping Policy.
  • Limited Quantities & Allocation: Pre-order products are often limited release or small-batch. Quantities may be capped per customer and may sell out. Final packaged quantities are not confirmed until production is complete.
  • Shortfalls & Allocation Priority: If final available quantities are lower than anticipated and we are unable to fulfil all pre-orders, orders will be allocated on a first-in, first-fulfilled basis. Affected customers will be contacted and offered a full refund or an alternative option.
  • Shipping & Fulfilment: Pre-order products will be shipped as soon as reasonably possible after they become available. If an order contains both in-stock and pre-order items, in-stock items may be shipped separately and fulfilled prior to the pre-order item. Shipping fees are calculated at checkout and are governed by our Shipping Policy.
  • Age Verification: All pre-orders are subject to the same age verification requirements as standard orders. Valid identification may be required upon delivery.
  • Acknowledgement of Risk: By placing a pre-order, you acknowledge that delays may occur due to brewing schedules, packaging timelines, or logistical factors.
