You sound like you work for the LCBO.Belgian wrote:$3.33 a bottle for ET is that bad? I would look at a few things.Blasphomet wrote:LOL!
$80+ for a case of Evil Twin Bikini Beer? Bikini Beer... more than $20 a six pack. Looooool! You can now consider me a person who has zero interest in using this complete shit service.
A) The cost of buying that Bikini Beer stateside & then bringing it back across with or without the added 30% border fees Ontario charges you as thanks for doing all the work for them. Not even factoring the border hit or the gas, taking just the exchange fees plus added taxes and deposit can bring it close to $20 CAD a six pack if not well beyond.
You might drink these beers more cheaply (and fresher) in Ontario using this ordering service if you actually do the research.
B) Some LC online things (like Oude Beersel Kriek for under ten bucks) are obviously a better price here. So then is it a terrible service, or does the pricing depend on the item with its particular add-up of costs?
If a bazillion Ontarians started buying Evil Twin Bikini reducing the price to buy it, would you really complain about that re-scaling of costs, based on the identical math principles?
And since we're talking about Evil Twin, tell me, when are guys like ET and Mikkeller ever all that cheap in Ontario to begin with, in the stores and bars? Perspective, dude...
I've never once seen even a six pack of US craft beer for $20, let alone more than $20, which this comes to. And yeah.... $3.33 is actually a joke to me for a 2.7% beer... especially when you are forced to buy 24. That's all it comes down to. If I wanted a Mikeller beer while they are here, I can buy one. Just one single bottle.
LCBO online shopping at this stage is completely laughable compared to what they do south of the boarder and elsewhere. It's not surprising, but I wanted to ask the details. I will never use the service ever. And I'm okay with that. But I can still LOL at what a complete joke it is.
