Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about Kirby Estate and our wines.

Shipping
Yes, we kindly request a minimum purchase of two bottles per order.
Enjoy complimentary shipping on orders over $300. For orders falling below this value, a flat shipping fee of $20 (tax included) will be applied.
We partner with Canada Post or local couriers, depending on your delivery destination.
Orders are processed and readied for shipment from Monday to Friday, typically within five to ten business days. For orders beyond major centers in Southern Ontario, Canada Post will handle the delivery, with timeframes varying based on distance. By providing an email address during your purchase, you will receive a Shipping Notification from either Canada Post or our local courier. (Be sure to check your spam folder as tracking emails sometimes land there.)
We offer shipping year-round; however, we recommend that customers outside major Southern Ontario centers place orders before November's end or wait until spring. This helps avoid potential freezing during transit.
After placing your order, expect an email confirmation. If it's missing, check your spam folder. Both our courier and Canada Post will send you tracking information once your order is en route.
For security and legal reasons, your wine cannot be left unattended. Should you miss the Canada Post delivery, a pickup notice will guide you to the nearest postal outlet. Should you miss our courier, they will make a second effort to deliver to you and will be in contact with you. Please note, a recipient 19 years or older must sign for the order, which is why we suggest using a business address for delivery.
If your order arrives damaged, faulty, or incorrect, please contact us so we can resolve the issue promptly.
