Update on Canada Post mail delivery

Updated: 2024-11-15

 

As you may be aware, Canada Post has currently shut down operations. More information is available on the Canada post website.

 

If you are a BC Liquor Distribution Branch (LDB) supplier who is currently receiving payments by cheque, you may wish to consider direct deposit to reduce the risk of payment delays. Through direct deposit, your payments are automatically transferred into your bank account, providing a convenient, secure, and environmentally friendly alternative to physical mail.

 

To receive your payments by direct deposit, please complete the LDB Direct Deposit Application Form and return to the LDB as instructed in the form.
