Previously, I have received free credit to order resources. Is this still available?

As Drinkaware is a registered charity, we do not seek to make profit from selling our resources. However, as there is a cost involved with producing and distributing the products, we charge a small fee per item to cover, in part, some of our costs. 

I can’t find the resource I am looking for.

We try to provide a range of resources to meet the needs of those looking for alcohol education.  We are always willing to hear ideas for new resources which would benefit you, if you have an idea please contact us.

How can I see what I’ve ordered in the past?

Registration

Why do I need to register to order resources?

By registering your details, the system will save your orders and your address details to make it quicker to check out the next time you log in. You’ll also be able to sign up to receive information about new products and hear about our latest campaigns.

I’ve forgotten my password, how do I find it out?

If you have forgotten your password, you can send yourself a password reminder from the login page.  This will generate a new password and send it to your registered email address.

Can’t I just open more than one account to get more credit?

Our system has a verification process which prevents people from opening more than one account with the same details. 

If I register to receive news and updates from Drinkaware what will you send me?

We’d like to be able to keep you up to date with what we’re up to.  So, if you register to receive news and updates from Drinkaware then we will add you to our database and will keep you informed of our latest campaigns, activity and let you know about any new resources we think you might be interested in based on your past orders.  You can unsubscribe from the news at any time by logging into your online resources account and going to the My Account section.

Why do you need my phone number?

If your parcel is being delivered by courier, should they be unable to deliver we may try and phone you to arrange re-delivery. 

Payment

Why do I have to pay for the resources?

As Drinkaware is a registered charity, we do not seek to make profit from selling our resources. However, as there is a cost involved with producing and distributing the products, we charge a small fee per item to cover, in part, some of our costs. 

Do you offer discounts for bulk orders?

Unfortunately, as Drinkaware is a registered charity, we do not seek to make a profit from selling our resources, so we cannot offer discounts on bulk orders as our prices are kept as low as possible for everyone. 

Is WorldPay a secure payment method?

The WorldPay payment system uses techniques to ensure the security and integrity of sensitive information.  You can find out more information about the security of WorldPay here.

Can I be invoiced for my order?

Only NHS and Local Authorities can be invoiced for orders.

Delivery

When will my resources be delivered?

Most orders are processed on the day they are placed, but please allow up to a week (5 working days) for your order to arrive with you.

If a parcel is under 2kgs it will be sent via Royal Mail Second Class Post, so should arrive with you in approximately 5-10 working days.

If a parcel is over 2kgs it will be sent via courier.  In this case, items should arrive within 2-3 working days.  The parcel will require someone to be at the delivery address to collect it – should no-one be available, the courier will put a card through the door and you would need to arrange re-delivery with the courier.
