Returns And Refunds
For Returns - Before you send back your product you must call us for an RMA # within 30 days of receipt of your product. Let us know if there was a problem with your order. Once we receive the product back your credit card will be refunded within a week. Your cooperation will make sure the processing of your refund is handled quickly and easily. A copy of your original invoice must be included.

For shipping errors or delivery problems, please call customer service number at 800.883.1838.

You must return your product with a copy of your original invoice or it will not be accepted. All unopened returned products must be in original condition and packaging; otherwise, additional charges may be applied.

Once you acquire an RMA number, Return the product using your preferred shipping method to:

Save your return tracking number, and if possible, email it to us so that we can track the return. It is important that you save the tracking number and that you insure the return package in case there are any issues during transit.

Please Note: unless the return or exchange is due to an error on our part, we cannot refund shipping and handling. We will issue a credit to the credit card used for the original purchase on your return or in some cases store credit.

Some orders are offered with free shipping, so please be aware that if you return one of these orders, our actual outbound shipping costs will be deducted from your return refund. If a product arrives damaged, or we made an error, we will pay to return the item to us and send a replacement to you. Please keep in mind that once an order has shipped, it cannot be cancelled. If you refuse an order, it will then fall under our standard return policy, where roundtrip shipping costs will be deducted from your refund.

Restocking Fee
There is a 10% restocking fee.

Back Ordered Items
If we are out of stock on a particular item we will ship the in stock items first and ship the out of stock items to you when they arrive in our warehouse at no additional shipping charge to you.

Wrong Address Charge
If your order is missing a STE #, apt. # or has an incorrect address, UPS charges a $5.00 fee. We will pass that $5.00 fee on to you so PLEASE verify your shipping address before placing your order and remember suite numbers if any to avoid a $5 wrong address charge.

Privacy Policy

Information Collection And Use
WineStars is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement. WineStars collects information from our customers at several different points on our website for order fulfillment and newsletter subscriptions.

Orders
We request information from the customer on our order form. Here a customer must provide contact information like name and shipping address. This information is used to fill customer's orders. If we have trouble processing an order, this contact information is used to get in touch with the customer.

Security SSL Encryption
This website takes every precaution to protect our customers' information. When customers submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and off-line.

When our registration/order form asks customers to enter sensitive information that information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry - SSL. While on a secure page, such as our order form, you will see the URL changes from http to https. The (S) stands for secure. In some cases you will also see the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just 'surfing'.

While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect customer-information off-line. All of our customers' information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our billing clerk or a customer service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information. Our employees must use password-protected screen-savers when they leave their desk. When they return, they must re-enter their password to regain access to your information.

If you have any questions about the security at our website, you can send an E-Mail to
winestar@winestars.com.

Our website contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we, WineStars, are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our customers to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every website that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this Website.

Newsletter Subscriptions
In order for us to mail our newsletter, a customer must first complete the newsletter subscription request form. During registration a customer is required to give their contact information. This information is used to mail the requested information for which they have expressed interest.

Site And Product Updates/Info Sharing
We also send the customer website and product announcement updates via E-Mail only if they are subscribed to our Free E-Mail newsletter.

Correction/Updating Personal Information
If a customer's personally identifiable information changes (such as your zip code), or if a customer no longer desires our service, we will endeavor to provide a way to correct, update or remove that customer's personal data provided to us. This can usually be done by E-Mailing our Customer Support at winestar@winestars.com, or call us at 800.883.1838.

Changes To Our Internet Privacy Policy
This Internet Privacy Policy is effective as January 1, 2007. To date we have never sold our customer information. If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes here so our customers are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.

If you would like to make changes to your account or if you have any questions or concerns about our Privacy Policy, please call us at 800.883.1838 or send E-Mail Custome
