Delivery 

Sample Collection and Delivery Process:

At the Intercontinental Wine Challenge, we prioritise convenience for our participants. To streamline the process, we have partnered with FedEx to collect your wine samples free of charge. Once payment is received, our team will promptly instruct FedEx to collect the samples directly from your specified location, eliminating the need for you to manage the delivery process. Once you receive an email from us stating that FedEx will collect it, please ensure the samples are ready for collection.

Secure Packaging for Safe Transit:

Ensuring the safety of your wine samples during transit is our top priority. Participants are kindly requested to pack their samples securely to prevent breakages. The Intercontinental Challenge will not be responsible for breakages.

Commercial Invoice Details:

Participants must include a commercial invoice with their shipments to facilitate customs clearance. The invoice should prominently feature the statement: “Samples of no commercial value – for attention The Intercontinental Wine Challenge” and declare a nominal value of 2 USD per bottle. This declaration helps expedite customs procedures and ensures that your samples are recognised solely for their evaluative purpose within the Intercontinental Wine Challenge.

Our commitment is to make the entire process as straightforward as possible, allowing participants to focus on showcasing the excellence of their wines without the hassle of logistical intricacies.
