Q. How long will you hold items ordered for collection?
A. Due to space limitations, we will only hold orders (for collection) in-store for 10 working days following their fulfillment. If there are extenuating circumstances (e.g. covid), please email Info@TheCru.ie to update us, and we will extend the period as necessary.
After those 10 working days, we will cancel the order. A restocking fee of 25% of the order will be charged.

Q. How Can I Maximise The Cost Of Shipping?
A. Our standard shipping box contains 12 slots. Each slot can hold 1 330ml/500ml bottle or 2 cans.
Due to the shape of some of the larger 750ml bottles, they take up the space of 2 slots.
Our standard shipping box can hold 2 5L/6L mini-kegs or 2 Blade Kegs.
Due to the permutations of combinations of products (and their different shapes) that we carry, we may not always get the shipping exactly right. In the cases that we are able to safely fit your order into fewer shipping boxes, we refund any un-needed extra shipping. This decision is made on our years of experience in dealing with a large range of Irish/International couriers and typically very delicate products.
