What is the return policy of Caribbean Liquors & Tobacco?

The customer can choose to be refunded by way of store credit, gift certificate or exchange of product. All purchases are non-cash refundable. Exchange or credits will not be issued for returns without a receipt.
All product returns require a customer’s name, telephone number, and email address, and customers are asked for identification to verify the information given. This information is used to minimize fraudulent transactions and ensure product quality standards are not at risk.

Proper storage is integral to the quality of wines and champagnes. After a sale we are not in control of where an item has been stored, and as such we cannot issue a refund for wines or champagnes.
Can I return delisted or sale product?
No. When CLT decides to stop carrying a product or carryout a sale its price is decreased to enable us to clear remaining inventories of the product. The sale of all delisted and on sale product is final.
