Single Bottle LCBO Transfer?

Post by lister »

For the LCBO employees here, is it possible to have transferred a single bottle of something? In this case a sparkling wine. There`s a bottle out at the Crossroads LCBO that`s not time sensitive for me to get but I`d like to avoid driving out there if I can. Lazy bastard I know...

It`s not available on the online Vintages shop. I have ordered from the online Vintages shop before of a single bottle and picked the LCBO to have it ship to so I don`t see why a single bottle transfer isn`t possible too.

Hey Lister, AFAIK there has to be at least a break-even scenario of cost. It can't be a special expensive trip for them that loses money.

The big boys don't want to 'loss' a tiny transfer of a single unit of something that is not worth a lot of money. If it was a $400 Cognac you might have a solid argument, but no, the Monopoly suddenly play it for profit once the shoe is on the other foot.

But you could piggy-back it on a more expensive item. (Whether you keep it or not.) Hope this is of use.

You could ask for the whole case to be transfered closer to you - and then next day refund the other 11 bottles. :wink:
