You don’t need to be a fan of the iconic TV comedy ‘The Office’ to recognize that party planning can sometimes be fraught with peril.
Catering to different tastes, finding all the necessary brands and nabbing good deals can be tricky.
Then there’s the legwork: finding dolleys, dealing with cumbersome pallets and applying the requisite elbow grease to get the liquor to its eventual home.
And, what about getting all this done quickly, and for the best price in town?
Neighbourhood Liquor is the Tylenol to all of those headaches.
This online service provides next-day turnaround at the best prices you’ll find for large-scale orders of wine, beer and spirits from Sea to Sky to the Fraser Valley.
It really is that simple.
“Our prices are always at or below government liquor stores prices, so our pricing is very aggressive and that’s why people order in bulk from us,” explains the company’s managing director Jonathan Tarnowski. “These are customers who don’t mind ordering a case of their favourite wine because they know they’re getting convenience, they’re getting great value and they’re saving a fortune by doing so.”
Let’s put those savings into perspective.
Take the highly popular wine Caymus Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, for example. Ordering a case of this normally $100 bottle of wine saves you close to $200 off the grand total.
And orders totalling more than $199 get free delivery.
“Our advantage is two-fold: pricing and convenience,” Tarnowski says. “I don’t care how much money you make, everyone loves a deal and you’re not going to find better prices anywhere in the Lower Mainland.”
The Neighbourhoodliquor.com business model is quick and easy by design.
You can place orders over the phone or online, and provided you do so by 5 p.m., your delivery gets to you the next day.
Perhaps the best part?
The online inventory is live, continually providing an up-to-date snapshot of what’s in the offing.
Neighbourhoodliquor.com is backed by a full suite of employees, including a marketing department, call centre, a crew of drivers and a fleet of delivery vans. These are all local employees, meaning no job is outsourced to third parties. This in turn, saves customers precious dollars.
“You can go on our website at any time to place your order,” Tarnowski explains. “We have customers who work all kinds of different hours or work from home and they’ll place their orders at early hours in the morning – it’s about whatever is convenient for the customer. You don’t have to wait for the brick and mortar stores to open anymore.”
Now let’s say you have a particular taste and want a niche brand from a remote corner of the Earth.
You go to your local liquor store or neighbourhood watering hole and still, no dice.
No problem.
“If you can’t find something on our website, we will look into it and order it in,” says company director Chelsea Drigics. “If you’re a regular customer who is committed to buying that product weekly or monthly, we’ll try to find it for you or will offer the customer a discounted price on the case because we didn’t carry it. We are very customer-focused here.”
Mondays through Saturdays, Neighbourhoodliquor.com’s delivery reach spans to the east in Abbotsford, to the waters near Tsawwassen, all across Metro Vancouver and out to Lions Bay.
And in looking ahead to the summer season, there are deals aplenty to be had on a handful of top-end refreshments: Beringer Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, Whispering Angel Provence Rosé and Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc, among others.
“People are busy – they have businesses, they have families and they don’t have time to go out and search for the best deal,” Tarnowski explains. “And with us, they know they’re getting the best deal at the best price with the convenience of delivery to their home or office.”
