Licensee-to-Licensee
Wholesale Sales

The Lower Mainland's LDB delivery
is changing. Darby’s Has You Covered.

Wholesale Liquor Supply for Bars, Restaurants & Licensed Venues

Effective July 13, 2026, the BC Liquor Distribution Branch (LDB) is ending direct warehouse delivery to bars and restaurants. Darby’s Liquor Store is an authorized Licensee-to-Licensee (L2L) supplier under the LCRB’s trial program, meaning your Liquor Primary, Food Primary, Catering, or Manufacturer-Lounge licence can order directly from us — no LDB warehouse trip required.

We’ve run our own delivery fleet in Vancouver for over a decade. That’s the infrastructure now standing behind your wholesale account.

Why Venues Are Switching to Darby's

  • Direct-to-Door Convenience: Skip the LDB warehouse hassle. We leverage our own extensive stock to deliver wholesale products directly to your establishment.
  • A Decade of Delivery Infrastructure: We aren’t testing the waters—our in-house delivery fleet, temperature-controlled logistics, and trained drivers have been operating across Vancouver for over ten years.
  • Predictable Ordering Rhythm: Keep your inventory tight. Lock in your standard weekly order by Monday at 5:00 PM for guaranteed delivery between Wednesday evening and Thursday. Need an emergency top-up? We also offer fast, on-demand delivery options when you unexpectedly run out mid-shift.
  • Streamlined Procurement: Access a comprehensive catalogue of wines, spirits, local craft beers, and ciders through a single, dedicated account.
  • Transparent Pricing: Get compliant, reliable billing—fully transparent, with zero hidden fees.
  • Dedicated L2L Account Managers: You get a direct line to a dedicated account manager who understands the fast-paced nature of hospitality.
  • Seamless Digital Account Portal: Skip the phone and messy spreadsheets. Gain access to a dedicated Licensee portal where you can browse our full live inventory, place orders instantly, track deliveries, and manage your commercial invoicing all in one secure digital space. Setting up your portal account takes less than five minutes—just provide your licence credentials to get started.

Rapid Onboarding: How It Works

To maintain strict compliance with B.C. Liquor and Cannabis Regulation Branch (LCRB) guidelines, setting up your corporate commercial account takes less than 5 minutes: 
1. Verify Your Licence: Provide your valid Liquor Licence Number (Food Primary, Liquor Primary, Catering, or Lounge Endorsement) and the name of your authorized buyer. 
2. Lock In PST Exemptions: Provide your valid PST registration number or a signed Certificate of Exemption at onboarding to ensure completely seamless, PST-exempt commercial billing. 
3. Place Your Order: Connect with your account manager to access your custom corporate pricing paths.
