How can I contact you?
Please use the Contact Us page to get in touch with us.
What are your operating times?
You can use our premiercru.biz website to place and track orders 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. However our business operating hours are Monday-Friday 8am-6pm and Saturday from 9am-1pm, Friars Hill Road and English Harbour (except public holidays). Our Duty Free Store in the departure lounge at V.C. Bird International Airport is open every day from 8am until the last flight leaves (except for Good Friday and Christmas Day).
Postage & Delivery
Where is my order?
There could be a number of reasons as to why you may have not received your order. This may include payment failures, shipping problems or even us. We ask that you allow 2-3 working days to receive your order within Antigua. To further assist you, please check the status of your order via Your Account. If you still need help then please contact our customer service team, who will be happy to help.
Who will deliver my order?
If your order is to be delivered in Antigua, we use our own delivery vehicles. If your order is to be delivered overseas, we use internationally recognized couriers to ship your order. They both provide a great delivery service and we reflect this onto your experience of shopping with us.
How will my order be packed?
As you can imagine, shipping of fragile items can be a challenge. At Premier Beverages, we ensure that all products are in their original packaging and when boxed, the products are protected securely and tightly to avoid them breaking in transit to you. We do our best to ensure that your order arrives intact and undamaged.
Do you offer next day / Saturday delivery?
All orders received Monday-Friday before 9am will be delivered on the same day. However if you place an order on Friday afternoon at 13.57Pm, you order will be delivered on Monday. Orders placed after 9am will be received the next working day, so please monitor your tracking via Your Account. Orders received on weekends or public holidays will be processed and shipped on the next working day. For example if you place an order at anytime on a Saturday then we will process and deliver it on Monday. For international orders, we will contact you via email with the delivery charges and, once approved your order will be dispatched the next working day. Currently we do offer limited Saturday delivery for local orders. Please request it on checkout and we will call to confirm your request.
What countries do you deliver to?
Our service is primarily for Antigua-based customers, but we can accommodate regional (Caribbean) orders and even international orders. However we are currently unable to deliver to any Middle Eastern countries and Canada due to local laws. Please note that you may need to pay duty depending on your country. Premier Beverages will NOT be responsible for import duties. All products sold through our portal are Antigua & Barbuda duty paid. You may need to pay duty at the destination port.
How much does postage and packaging cost?
Orders being delivered in Antigua over EC$250 qualify for our free delivery service. Under EC$250 we charge a flat rate of EC$25 per order. For overseas orders, we will contact you with the freight amount for approval before processing your order.
Can you deliver to a different address from the billing address?
Yes. This option is given to you during the checkout process. Please take care when entering your delivery details.
Can I collect my order?
Yes you can collect your order from our Retail Store, Premier Cru on Friars Hill Road in St. John's or any of our other locations.
I received a faulty / damaged bottle, what shall I do?
Shipping bottles and fragile products can lead to damages whilst your orders are in transit. Whilst we carefully select and package your products, once they have left our depot unfortunately we have no control over how they are handled (although we have told our courier to take extra special care). Should you receive a damage or faulty product, view our returns policy for further information.
