Re: LCBO Online Ordering Launches

Few new online only beers posted.. including Even More Jesus Good to hear that there are new additions - hopefully this trend continues! If it does, it would be good to get a thread going to announce new online arrivals (or use this thread for that purpose). Yeah, for now this thread is good becaus...

Re: LCBO Online Ordering Launches

Got my LTM Porter delivered to the store. Took exactly one week. Not bad after all. If anyone is serious about splitting orders with me, please PM me.

Re: LCBO Online Ordering Launches

So I finally got a notification that my LTM order shipped, 6 days after the order. Anyone had better results?

Re: LCBO Online Ordering Launches

Yeah, the Speciality beers is the first category I clicked on the first day the store opened, expecting all micro craft, only to find sake concoctions lol. Yeah, just stick to universal categories LCBO, but most importantly make your online exclusive selection much larger as so far it is bleh and ri...

Now they just moved it from the right sideto underneath.

Wonder what team of geniuses worked six months on that project? :D

The same that got a performance bonus afterwards.

Re: LCBO Online Ordering Launches

Wow, almost all the LTM beers are sold. Clearly the quantities were too low. I hope the bars aren't just snatching up most of them. So far the online exclusive section is extremely paltry. Leave it to KGBO to start something with a whimper.

Re: LCBO Online Ordering Launches

so the special edition baltic porter is sold out on lcbo.com.. but Keep6 still has it listed as available on their website. So keep6 gave the lcbo a portion of their inventory? Good question. But there must be more on the way shortly. According to a Star article, the store will expand offerings rap...

Re: LCBO Online Ordering Launches

I'd love to hear how successful you will be in immediately returning half the order. Great idea! Short of splitting orders with others, this is probably the best route. As some have pointed out elsewhere, there should be nothing that stops a customer from returning any unopened LCBO product within ...

Re: LCBO Online Ordering Launches

In the spirit of things, I placed my first online LCBO order for the Baltic Porter, to my nearest store. I intend to return at least six bottles, right at the store when I pick it up, so we'll see how that system goes. Hopefully the store will honour its return policy (with some degree of unwillingn...

Canada Post. And they'll be checking ID's at the door :lol:

So the person has to be home to receive it. I bet the postie will be doing a lot of cursing hauling heavy cases back to the truck.

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

Looks like the online store is up and running. So the beers that are already available in stores have a minimum order of $50 online and those that are available exclusively online have to be purchased per case, as someone said earlier. Delivery to stores is free, while home delivery is $12. So far o...

Re: Beer Coming to Grocery Stores?

so we have websites we can use to find lcbo products and TBS products.. any way to see which beers each grocery store has in stock? Even if it were possible, I don't think I'd be worth the effort at least for now. Has anyone actually spotted an excellent beer yet at any of these stores? I see mostl...
