Very simple, sign up! The Vintrado team will contact you as soon as possible!

Vintrado receives the payment from the buyer at the check-out. This payment will be held on a third party bank account until the order has been received by the buyer. After the legal cooling-off period these will be transferred to you. Therefore you never have to worry about not receiving your funds.

Every bottle is different. A bottle’s label or capsule can be slightly damaged or the fill level of an older bottle can be slightly diminished. These are all relevant pieces of information for a buyer. Buyers need to be able to see the actual product that they will receive rather than a perfect, professional image. Therefore we ask Vendors who are not professionally involved in the business (without VAT number) so add pictures of the actual bottles. Make sure the item is well lit and there are no reflections from flash or other light sources. The item you are selling might be in perfect condition but if the images are of poor quality it will diminish the chances of a quick sale.

The price of a bottle of wine varies greatly depending on region, sub-region, vintages and producers. To get an idea about the value of your bottle the Internet is of great help. Websites such as www.wine-searcher.com are great to get an indication. Vintrado asks you to check these prices and to not offer wines for a price 15% above the cheapest offer on the Dutch market. This will be checked by Vintrado before the wine becomes visible on the platform. In case you require assistance determining a fair price for your wines don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.

Yes, it is essential that the correct vintage is filled in and that the vintage sold is the same as the vintage sent to the buyer. The buyer has the right to return bottles with a different vintage.

There can be a number of reasons for your wine to remain unsold. First of all check if the information on the product page is complete and you have added a high-quality bottle shot. In case this information is complete it is possible that the price you asked is too high compared to other Vendors on the Vintrado platform or elsewhere in the market. Check these prices and decrease your price if needed.

Congratulations on your first Vintrado order! You have received an e-mail with the details of the order. Please check carefully the number of bottles, bottle size and vintage. In your personal Vendor account you will find a shipping label. This label can be used for all order, regardless of the number of bottles as long as they fit in one case. It is your responsibility to deliver the package to a postal service within 2 working days from the moment the order came in.

The earlier you send out the package, the earlier you receive your settlement. From the moment the buyer receives the package there is a cooling-off period of 14 days after which we will transfer the settlement, minus the commission, to your account.
