When a domestic beverage alcohol manufacturer chooses to make their product available to wholesale customers via LCBO’s online ordering platform, they have the option to manage the fulfillment and delivery of their products themselves, or to have the LCBO or The Beer Store manage it on their behalf.
If they choose to manage it themselves, this is what is referred to as ‘dropshipping’ since the product goes directly from the manufacturer’s premises to the customer.
What is a supplying source?
Whoever is fulfilling and delivering the product is referred to as the ‘supplying source’ for the product. Supplying sources also have the ability to manage some or all fulfillment and delivery for each SKU, by region and by customer type.
What is dropshipping?
Dropshipping is an ecommerce fulfillment method where an online store sells products without physically stocking or shipping them. It provides suppliers with greater flexibility and wholesale customers with more choice when it comes to purchasing domestic products on wholesale.lcbo.com.
