The LCBO is the main retailer of alcoholic products in Ontario and the government-regulated chain has recently incorporated door-to-door drink drop-off in its purchasing features. Now consumers can order the products they need online and either pick them up in store or have them delivered to a specified location for added simplicity.
The service is operated via the LCBO main website and it allows consumers to select either an in-store pick up or drop off location that is most convenient to them. Shoppers can browse through over 5,000 different products including liquors, wines, beers and spirits. The platform is ideal for large get togethers, parties or businesses in need of massive quantities of products. The service requires a minimum charge and a delivery fee, with up to four days to process.
