FAQ
Why am I prompted to select my Porters Liquor store at the start?
Porters Liquor stores are independently owned and operated. Each store has a unique selection of products based on your local needs. Product availability and pricing may vary from store to store. We ask you to select your local store at the start to ensure you browse available products in your local shop.
When you select your local store, the delivery zone that the store delivers to will be displayed so that you can quickly check if your chosen store delivers to your address.
Why is my local Porters Liquor store not available in the store list for me to select?
If you are unable to select your local Porters Liquor, this means that they may not yet be set up to accept or cater to orders for delivery or click & collect. All stores will be available via the "browse products" option through the Porters Liquor Online Shop website. Tell us if your local store isn’t available by using the Contact Us form and we’ll let them know.

How are products priced on the Porters Liquor Online Shop website compared to my local Porters Liquor store?
Products are offered online at the same price charged by the local store you selected to order from. These prices, including any associated promotions and specials available at your selected store are current on the date you place an order. Once your order is submitted, the price you pay does not change even if the price offered on the site changes, unless you edit and resubmit your order before it is picked.
There may also be promotions and offers exclusive to the Porters Liquor Online Shop website that are not available in your selected store. Where this is the case these offers will be applied to your order, but you will not be able to take advantage of them when shopping in store.
Each Store also sets their own in-store purchase prices and the purchase price shown on the Site may not be the same as the purchase price for the same product in-store. Metcash reserves the right to amend any pricing errors caused by human error, system error or other reasons. If such an error results in an increase in the price of your order, we will either attempt to contact you to confirm you wish to proceed with your order at the amended price or cancel your order.
Is there a minimum order value?
