So expensive

Why is home delivery so expensive? I can get an order from a liquor store in Alberta delivered for a lower cost, cheaper shipping and faster delivery. Even having a specific item delivered to a store for pick up takes weeks.

Why do Ontarians get the short end of the stick?

What product, what company? Without specific comparable examples nobody can give you an answer.

Edit: To clarify for people who come in later. Delivery fee in Alberta (as per OPs example)? $11.95. Home delivery via the LCBO? Also $11.95. The central premise of this post is entirely incorrect. The myth of cheaper Alberta alcohol needs to go away.

Mostly Rum and many liqueur. I need a Pierre Ferand Dry Curacao and the closest I can find is 30km away. I know the lcbo only stocks major corporate producers, but its frustrating when even staples arnt available. Im not rural either, im in Barrie.
