Delayed LDB Deliveries From DDC Due to Weather and Road Conditions

Dear ABLE BC Members and Industry Colleagues,

We are sharing the below message from LDB Liquor Wholesale Operations. We hope you are staying safe and warm in the snow!

From LDB Liquor Wholesale Operations:

Due to yesterday’s heavy snowfall and its impact on road conditions in the Lower Mainland, we regret to inform you that the majority of wholesale customer orders from the LDB’s Delta Distribution Centre (DDC) will be delayed.

We are working closely with our freight carriers to deliver shipments as quickly as possible; however, we expect that deliveries will continue to be delayed through the week.

While the LDB Liquor Wholesale Customer Centre will continue to reach out directly to impacted customers, we are unable to provide estimated delivery windows at this time.

Orders coming directly from the LDB’s Kamloops Distribution Centre are currently on schedule; however, most of these orders will not contain the portion of product that comes from DDC due to current delays.

With the continued snowfall advisory across much of the province, we will continue to provide updates on the status of deliveries.

We recognize this is a busy period for many wholesale customers and greatly apologize for the inconvenience the weather impacts have caused. We are working diligently with our freight carriers to resume regular delivery schedules, while balancing the safety of our drivers and other drivers on the road.
