  I wonder how they get round the 10am and 10pm rule for products shipped from Scotland - do they deliver anything before 10am ?

I would imagine they would just have to follow the same rules as supermarket deliveries, ie: early slots no alcohol can be included in the order.

I have been using Waitrose Cellar for a few years now, mainly for convenience and price and have found it a good shopping experience.

Too late for this year but around the end of October the beginning of November they usually offer 25% off ,on orders of six bottles or more which I find a good way of getting wine in for the festive season or as stocking fillers.Also gives you a bit of variety from what you find on your local shelves.

Certainly the Amazon/Morrisons instant shopping delivery thing follows the 10-to-10 rules on booze supply.

If you had a bottle of Voddy in amongst a bunch of other stuff in a normal Amazon delivery I can't imagine that they'd do exception processing just in case it was to be delivered at 09:30am or 10:15pm.

Mind you, I believe that Amazon have quite a big computer and if they wanted to they could.

    When I am doing online shop with Morrisons and have a early slot selected ( click and collect or delivered) the system will not let you include any alcohol in the order.
I would imagine all other retailers will be the same.

If its any consolation, minimum unit pricing will come to England in the next few years - not to protect our livers, but to keep pubs afloat. The disparity in the cost of drinks out encourages us to stay in atm.
