I just noticed that Keep6 posted a tweet saying the order is undergoing the LCBO lab testing, etc. and should be available for pick-up soon! Woohoo!! Although I'll still have to wait for it to get shipped to my local LCBO... Still stoked nonetheless!

Keep6 has been on the ball with PO's lately. The last DDC order was also done very quickly, aside from an initial delay due to Aphrodite production. I swear the store transfer took longer than the actual order.

I paid today and they said the store transfer could take up to 6 weeks... :( Here's to hoping it's sooner than that!

Just picked my order up, had to wait about a half hour for all the wine merchants to load up but its better than waiting six weeks to get to my local.

On past orders they have said the same (up to 6 weeks), but usually ends up being 1-2 weeks to get to Kitchener/Waterloo area.

I had them ship my DDC order to a different LCBO, and they said six weeks, and I asked if it would really take six weeks. They said that that was the baseline, but often it was much faster. I believe it took about 2 weeks for them to ship it, but it was only going to the Mississauga area.

I'm curious to know how much the area impacts the delivery times... If it's based on proximity, it'll be a 6 week wait for me because I'm all the way in Thunder Bay! :x

they actually shipped to RH?!? i was told they didn't ship within the GTA so markham was out and have always gone down and picked my orders up since. the speed of having it right away is nice, but their hours are not exactly convenient...

Gahh. Never picking up an order first thing in the morning again. Waited over an hour to get my 2 cases. Going back to midday and the 'short' 20 minute waits
