How is shipping calculated and where can I see delivery costs?
Shipping is calculated by order weight. A full breakdown of the charges including tax can be seen at checkout. Please note, prices may appear differently on the site depending on where you have set your shipping address to. This is due to some countries including taxes e.g., products in the UK are inclusive of VAT.
How long is delivery in the UK?
Orders to the UK mainland can expect to receive orders in 3-5 business days. Our orders are shipped on business days only, by our fulfilment partner’s warehouse in Glasgow, Scotland.
Can you deliver to the EU?
We can ship to the EU except for Sweden, Poland, Slovakia and Italy. Due to Brexit surcharges and resultant processing fees, our delivery cost has increased, however, we will continue to process all fees on the website to ensure a seamless transaction for you. In addition to shipping charges, the following will also be charged at checkout: Courier Shipping Brexit Surcharge: £5 Customs Clearance: £6 Please allow extra time for orders going to the EU as due to Brexit, there may be a small delay in customs.
Are there any further charges I'll need to pay upon delivery to the EU?
No, we process all fees and taxes on our website, with the exception of Spain and Finland. Due to updates in local customs, VAT is no longer added on our website and the consumer will need to pay this upon delivery.
Where can I find my order number?
Once your order is placed, you’ll be sent an order confirmation email with your order number and details. Please check your junk folder if this does not appear in your inbox.
Can I change or cancel my order?
If you would like to cancel your order, please contact us on tobermory@mailmarkuk.com as soon as possible. If your order has already been dispatched, we will not be able to process the cancellation until the goods are returned to us. Please allow 7-10 days for the money to show in your account after cancelling an order.
Can I combine my orders?
We cannot combine multiple orders, regardless if they are going to the same shipping address and were placed on the same day. We would ask you to be patient and check your basket to ensure you have everything before checking out.
·Why is my promotional code not working?
Please check the terms & conditions associated with the promotion for all the details on inclusions and exclusions and timings. Some items you are trying to purchase may be excluded from the promotion, or the promotion may have ended. If you believe the promotional code should work on your order and you are still having issues with it, please contact tobermory@mailmarkuk.com and we will investigate your issue, and, if relevant, give you a new code.
Are there limits to how much product I can buy?
Some of our products are very limited in number, therefore, sometimes we may limit the number of bottles available to purchase to one or two per person. This is to give more people the chance to get our most popular bottlings.
Will you restock an item that is out of stock?
Depending on the product, we will restock. However, items such as limited editions or single cask whiskies only have a small number of bottles so once they’re sold out online, there will be no more. Sometimes an item which has sold out online is still available at the distillery visitor centre. These are two separate shops, so we are unable to process orders and send directly from Tobermory Distillery.
The cork in my bottle is broken what do I do?
Whilst we do our best to ensure our corks are
robust, cork is a natural product, which can sometimes break. If you experience
any issues with your cork, email us here and
our customer services team will be in touch to organise a new cork for you.
This is also raised with our quality team, so we can ensure we are producing
the best products we possibly can

Let a member of the team know you're here and they'll take you to the experience when it is ready to begin.
What should wear to my distillery experience?
Not all surfaces at the distillery are completely level, so we would recommend you wear sensible footwear (no high heels or flip flops). If you are attending one of our warehouse experiences, please wear warm clothing as the warehouses are kept at a consistently cool temperature.
I've booked on an experience but I'm the designated driver. Will I still get whisky/gin?
If you're driving, we offer 'driver's drams' so you can take away the whisky or gin tasted in the experience to enjoy in your own time at home.
