This is already the case, anyone in BC with a liquor resale license must order products from their local BC liquor store. The product gets shipped from one of the four distribution centres to the store and is essentially cross docked at the store. Any licensee that directly shops from the store shelves is limited and are only allowed to take 25% of what is currently on the shelf.
