Farr Vintners - Fine Wine Merchants

Hong Kong Delivery Charges

Making sure wines are handled correctly during shipping is incredibly important and, at Farr Vintners, we have invested a huge amount of time and effort to ensure that we only ship wines in the very best possible conditions. Shipping to Asia has some added complications, but, before we ever offered our air freight service (which started around 13 years ago!), we ensured that systems were in place to make sure your precious bottles arrive safe and sound with as little stress as possible.

Five years ago, we decided to take the plunge and purchase our own reefer truck for our Hong Kong office in order to guarantee that in Hong Kong wine is always delivered in the correct temperature controlled conditions. With increased loads as well as lots of wear and tear the time has come to renew and upgrade! With the New Year of the Dragon your wines will now be delivered in our sparkling new 4.5 ton Isuzu lorry equipped with a Thermo King unit (set at 12 degrees), insulated goods container, easy access and lockable side door, as well as a rear lift (making life a lot easier for our delivery guys on bulk deliveries).

When wines are shipped by Farr Vintners to Hong Kong you can rest assured your wines will be guaranteed the following:

  • Collection from Octavian and checking by the forwarder at their airport consolidation port which is temperature controlled
  • Loading into Airline containers which during the summertime will be lined with heat protective material
  • A direct, non-stop air flight from London to Hong Kong
  • Unloading of our consignment from the aircraft into the airport’s temperature controlled cool room (15 degrees) within 60 minutes of the plane wheels touching the tarmac
  • Collection from the airport in a reefered container lorry
  • Sorting in our temperature controlled and certified consolidation warehouse in Shatin
  • Delivery in our own Farr Vintners’ temperature controlled lorry
  • Fully comprehensive insurance cover

With this peace of mind we look forward to assisting our customers in Hong Kong to ensure their cellars are kept well stocked!

We are pleased to offer a regular air-freight delivery service from London to Hong Kong.
