Subscriptions can be purchased in 3, 6, 9 and 12 month allotments, or ongoing (no end month). Once a subscription is purchased there are no additional costs. We also offer a pay by the month option for those that do not want to pay the full amount up front.

Can I buy a beer subscription as a gift?

Of course! Simply place the recipients address in the delivery details at the checkout.

Is there a gift card I can send or give to the recipient?

Yes. You can download a gift card to either print or send to the lucky recipient here.

Can I choose which beers are included in the subscription pack?

Our monthly subscription packs are predetermined to feature a selection of the best beers from Australia and overseas. By having a pre-set selection it helps us to get the absolute best beers around at a competitive price.

Can I buy a particular beer in the subscription pack in larger quantities?

Yes, some of the beers provided in the subscription packs will be available in larger quantities. You can find these on the Beer pages of Beer Cartel.

Can I cancel my beer subscription?

If you have selected a set subscription time frame (3, 6, 9 or 12 months) and have paid upfront and need to cancel it for any reason you can do so. Please note any remaining months and associated payments already made will be forfeited.

If you are on a Pay By The Month subscription and cancel before the 15th of the month, the previous month will be your last pack. Cancellations after the 15th of the month (for Pay By The Month subscriptions), incur a cancellation charge of $10. To cancel a subscription please visit the My Account area of the website.

 

Delivery Questions 

When are Monthly subscription packs delivered?

Beer Subscriptin orders are taken year round.

For monthly subscriptions you will receive your first selection the month after you join, e.g. if you purchase in December, your first delivery will be the January selection. Unfortunately we are unable to hold off the first beer subscription delivery from being the following month's pack.

Please note that January Beer SUbscription packs are dispatched in the second week of the month, all other month's packs are dispatched in the first full week of the month.

For Beer Cartel subscriptions given as a gift you can download a printable personalised e-Card here with your order confirmation which can be given to the recipient letting them know they are now part of the Beer Cartel Beer Subscription.

How much is delivery?

When you enter the delivery State on the checkout page, the pricing shown will be inclusive of shipping.

Who delivers the beers?

Beer Cartel uses Australia Post to deliver its packages using the Australia Post E-Parcel system, as well as other partner courier companies during busy periods. Packages are typically shipped in a brown or black cardboard box with Beer Cartel logos and fragile warnings.

Who can sign for the delivery?

Because of the nature of the contents, an adult (18+) is required to sign for the package. To ensure this legal requirement is met, the person responsible for the delivery of the alcohol may ask to see some form of identification.

Can I add delivery instructions?

Yes. When placing your order you can indicate any specific delivery instructions you may have in the comments box. Please note deliveries are made Monday to Friday during business hours.

What if I’m not home to receive the delivery?

We recommend using a business address where possible as packages are delivered during business hours. If you do use your home address and aren’t home don’t worry. If a signature is not received on the day of delivery the package can be collected from your local Post Office - you have 14 days to then collect the parcel.

If your subscription pack is not collected from Australia Post it will be returned to Beer Cartel and we will contact you to arrange either re-delivery or to pick-up from our store. Please note a re-delivery and admin fee will be charged. If you do not advise us on re-delivery or fail to pickup your package within 30 days the parcel will be deemed forfeited.

Alternatively, you can provide authority for the package to be left. To do so please enter any specific delivery instructions e.g. leave on back porch if no one home, during the checkout process. Please note this authority to leave is done at the risk of the purchaser.

What happens if my delivery details were incorrect?

If there has been a delivery issue at our end we will re-deliver the package at no additional charge. If the delivery details you provided were incorrect we will contact you to arrange for either re-delivery or to pick-up from our store. Please note a re-delivery and admin fee will be charged. If you do not advise us on re-delivery or fail to pickup your package within 30 days it will be deemed forfeited.

Can I have a different address for delivery?

Yes. When placing the order simply enter the address you would like to have the package delivered to. You can have a billing address and a separate delivery address.

If you would like to change the delivery address of a beer subscription you can do so by logging into your account and clicking My Addresses.

NOTE: If you are updating your address between the 13th and the end of the month please also contact us with the updated address. This is an extra precaution to ensure that your address is correctly updated prior to the next pack being sent out.

Can I pick up my order?

We do not currently offer in store pickup.

 

Order Questions 

Who do I contact if I have any issues relating to the beer subscription or delivery?

If you have any issues simply contact us and we can assist.

Can I put my beer subscription membership on hold?

You can place your subscription on hold at any stage by logging into your account, click Manage Subscription and then click Pause Subscription. If you run into trouble please contact us and we can assist. 

Can I purchase more than one subscription?

Absolutely, we do however require that each subscription is processed separately so that each has its own unique order ID.

Why can I not order a beer subscription together with other products?

Beer subscriptions are unable to be ordered alongside non-subscription products as these have different dispatch dates and Australia post tracking details. Both items can be purchased separately, but not together
