NSW Same Day Delivery Frequently Asked Questions
So what’s changing?
From July 1st 2021 Same Day Deliveries in NSW will require by law written instructions by the licensee to the delivery person detailing the adult who has been specified or nominated to receive the delivery.
We will only deliver alcohol to the adult in the written instructions received and verify the recipient’s age is over 18 years of age.
This means that if you are placing a Same Day Delivery with us then we ask that you read the options in the checkout online carefully as they have changed.
To read more on this new legislation taking place on July 1st 2021 please head to the NSW Liquor & Gaming website.
