Placing an Order and Changes to your Order

You must be of legal drinking age in Alberta (currently 18 years old) to enter and make a purchase on the Application. It is prohibited to deliver alcohol to those under the legal drinking age or to individuals who appear to be intoxicated. To shop and make a purchase, simply log in with your PCTM ID and add your selected items to your cart. For more details on the ordering process, please refer to the Frequently Asked Questions

By submitting your order, you agree to pay in full for the final selection of items included in your order, all applicable taxes and deposits, either by credit card or other permitted payment method, subject to any cancellation of your order. In order to complete an order, you may be required to provide certain additional information that is required to process your order. If you do not complete or improperly complete your order, it may not be accepted or acknowledged. We reserve the right to change the permitted methods of payment, including without limitation, the accepted credit cards, at any time.

During the authorization process when you submit your order, your card is validated and must have enough available funds for the transaction to be approved. Upon approval, the order will be received and prepared for delivery as explained below. This authorization is cancelled when your order is processed for payment or when your order is cancelled.

You may only place an online order if you are of legal drinking age in Alberta (currently 18 years old). Unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts stated are in Canadian Dollars. You may only place an order for scheduled delivery the next day.

Loblaw reserves the right to charge a delivery fee at its discretion. Fees may vary by delivery location, date and time. All delivery fees will be disclosed when you are selecting your delivery location, date and time. Loblaw reserves the right to require a minimum order value before an order may be submitted. Loblaw may at any time, in its sole and unfettered discretion, waive any minimum order requirements.

Once your order is placed, you may contact our Customer Service team to modify your order. You may modify your order up until 5 pm the day before your scheduled delivery. Please note, any changes made to your order after that time will make your order ineligible for your original scheduled delivery date. You will receive a confirmation email with your changes noted and a new delivery date. To modify your order or for inquiries on pending orders, please contact our Customer Service team.

Order Payment

As noted above, when you submit your order, your payment card may be authorized for the amount of the order. You will only be charged at the time of delivery of your order. You agree we may charge your payment card for any order placed and for any additional amounts (including any taxes) as may be applicable in connection with your purchase. You are responsible to ensure that all of your billing information is current, complete, and accurate.

Loblaw may use the third-party payment processors to effect charges onto your payment card. You consent to the collection and use of your information (including personal information) by such payment processing service as necessary to process your payments, in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

If you fail to pay any fees or charges when due (including cancellation fees or damages arising from fraudulent use), we reserve the right to charge such amount directly to the payment card provided by you at the time you submitted your order. You are responsible and liable for any fees, including legal costs and collection costs, that we may incur in its efforts to collect any unpaid balances from you.

Pricing and Availability

The prices shown on this Application at the time of ordering reflect the current prices of the selected items. Any applicable taxes and deposits will be calculated and displayed when completing checkout and prior to submission of your order. Once you submit your order, the price of items is guaranteed unless you placed an order for an item where we have inadvertently listed the incorrect price.

Although our goal is to fulfill 100% of each order, from time to time, products may be unavailable due to market conditions, or other conditions beyond our control. We will not be liable to you if we are not able to provide you with any particular product.

Please note that we reserve the right to limit your order or the quantity of a particular product you may order.

For any of our coupons or promotional offers, in the event we have inadvertently made a typographical error on any coupon or promotional offer, we reserve the right to suspend redemption or terminate altogether the offer. Where legally available to be offered, we may also offer our customers the opportunity to participate in contests, sweepstakes or other promotions as decided by us.

You must be of legal drinking age in Alberta (currently 18 years old) to place an order and/or to sign and accept alcoholic beverage deliveries from Real Canadian LiquorstoreTM. It is prohibited to deliver alcohol to those under the legal drinking age or to individuals who appear to be intoxicated.

We reserve the right to refuse delivery to anyone who appears to be intoxicated or cannot produce government issued photo ID. In such a case, the order will be returned to the store and a refund will be issued less the delivery fee, as applicable.

Your order will be carefully packed to help ensure product quality. It’s our goal to stay within our standard delivery times of 10 A.M to 8 P.M. the next day following the day of your order, subject to availability. However, if there happens to be a change with your scheduled delivery, our Customer Service team will notify you as soon as possible.
