This will be followed by a first text message from our couriers on the day of delivery which will give you the opportunity to change your delivery date or to request that your delivery be left with a neighbour or at the local Post Office. Please note that the local Post Office may not be the one nearest to your address but will be a Post Office local to your address which has the capacity to take receipt of the delivery.

It will be your responsibility to follow the instructions on the card within the time given on the card to arrange redelivery. If our couriers are unable to access your mailbox either because you are not at home or because a neighbour is not at home and access to your mailbox is not possible from the front door the couriers will not leave a card and you will need to contact them to arrange redelivery. If you are unable to make progress with them to arrange redelivery you should contact us via our Contact Us page.

Please note that if you live in a property which contains a number of units and you do not, when placing your order on the Site, specify a particular neighbour with whom to leave your parcel but instead request the parcel be left with a neighbour in response to the text message you receive from our couriers, the couriers may leave the parcel with any neighbour in your property who grants them access to the property and any such delivery is left at your risk. It is your responsibility when requesting that your parcel be left with a neighbour to ensure that such neighbour will be at home and available to take collection of the delivery.

i) Where your delivery address is a property which contains a number of units (e.g. an apartment block, offices), we cannot guarantee that our couriers will deliver to the front door or individual entrance of your unit. It is at each individual courier’s discretion as to whether or not s/he will bring the delivery directly to your front door where you are in a building which is comprised of several units. For example s/he may not bring the delivery up several flights of stairs in the absence of a lift and may not be able to carry it from the main entrance to your front door/the lift. If our courier is unable to bring the package to your front door s/he will leave a card to notify you of the attempted delivery and it will be your responsibility to follow the instructions on the card in accordance with section 6e above.
Title to all Beartown Brewery Products shall remain under Beartown Brewery ownership and shall pass to the Customer on delivery, provided we have processed and received payment in full.

This email will contain a tracking code allowing you to track the progress of your parcel on www.parcelforce.com. This will be followed by a first text message from our couriers on the day of delivery which will give you the opportunity to change your delivery date or to request that your delivery be left with a neighbour or at the local Post Office. Please note that the local Post Office may not be the one nearest to your address but will be a Post Office local to your address which has the capacity to take receipt of the delivery. Please note that you cannot specify a particular neighbour using this process. You will receive a second text message from our courier who will advise you of the estimated delivery time.

It will be your responsibility to follow the instructions on the card within the time given on the card to arrange redelivery. If our couriers are unable to access your mailbox either because you are not at home or because a neighbour is not at home and access to your mailbox is not possible from the front door the couriers will not leave a card and you will need to contact them to arrange redelivery. If you are unable to make progress with them to arrange redelivery you should contact us via our Contact Us page.

Please note that if you live in a property which contains a number of units and you do not, when placing your order on the Site, specify a particular neighbour with whom to leave your parcel but instead request the parcel be left with a neighbour in response to the text message you receive from our couriers, the couriers may leave the parcel with any neighbour in your property who grants them access to the property and any such delivery is left at your risk. It is your responsibility when requesting that your parcel be left with a neighbour to ensure that such neighbour will be at home and available to take collection of the delivery.
