What happens if there is an issue with my delivery (including overages, shortages, substitutions, wrong shipments)?
It is critical that you ship exactly what was ordered.
*Short Shipments: If you are short inventory, then ship what is available. If you do have any of the inventory, contact store0974@lcbo.com and the order will be cancelled.
*Overages/Mis-ships/Substitutions will be considered as unsolicited inventory. You will be notified of the unsolicited shipment and requested to provide direction to either arrange pick up at the Trillium facility or have it destroyed onsite.
If Trillium identifies any issues/discrepancies/load shifting/damage, this will be reported to and managed by the LCBO. This includes:
- *Any Substitutions/Overages/Wrong Shipments
- *Any defects identified during the inspection
- *Any visible holes, pests, animal droppings, pooling of liquids, and unusual odors
- *Any product or pallets that appear contaminated will not be accepted
- *Any drivers who fail to comply with Trillium policies and procedures
Are there any changes to the ordering process?
Yes. Orders will now come exclusively through the DDVP application. There will be no orders by phone or email.
How much time do I have to fulfill the order?
Direct Delivery orders are processed exclusively through the DDVP application. Once you receive the order through DDVP, ensure the delivery arrives at the Trillium Facility within 7 days from the date of the order. If you are not able to meet this deadline, email store0974@lcbo.com for next steps.
Are there any changes to the returns process?
Yes. You will need to pick up the shipment being returned from Trillium. An appointment must be booked to pickup the return.
Is there any flexibility if the vintage on the PO is different than the one shipped?
It is important that vendor shipments comply with all aspects of the Purchase Order and the LCBO’s packaging and labelling requirements. There will be no flexibility about any details of the Purchase Orders. If the Purchase Order is not shipped as requested it will have to be corrected with charges for the associated costs, that includes correcting the information on the cartons if they refer to the cancelled PO. Vendors must comply with the LCBO packaging and labelling standard posted here.
What are the packaging and labeling standards for Trillium?
Vendors must comply with the LCBO packaging and labelling standard posted here. Case markings must match the active Purchase Order and item number.
