Q: Do you sell products on this website?
A: Products are not available for ordering online. You may purchase products featured on this site at BC Liquor Stores and agency stores. However, product selection and availablity vary from store to store. To search for a product and the BC Liquor Stores locations that carry the product, please use our product search (top right corner).
Q: I'm looking for a specific product and wondering if you carry it in stores. Why am I not able to find it (using the product search)? Why don't you carry the product I'm looking for?
A: There is a standard process by which products are selected and listed for sale in BC Liquor Stores. A product may not be carried in our stores for a variety of reasons. However, if there is a product listed for sale in our stores but is not stocked at your local liquor store, you may speak to your local liquor store manager to discuss arrangements for bringing the product into your local liquor store. Inter-store product transfers are at the discretion of the manager. Products not listed or carried by BC Liquor Stores may be purchased via our Special Orders program. Read more about Special Orders program under Customer Service tab.
