Stop Overpaying for Alcohol Delivery in Canmore: Compare Prices Before You Order
Most customers ordering alcohol through delivery apps have no idea how much extra they are paying.
If you're ordering beer, wine, vodka, whisky, rum, gin, coolers, tequila, or other liquor products through Uber Eats, DoorDash, or Skip, there's a good chance you're paying significantly more than if you ordered directly from a local liquor store.
At Liquor Lane, we believe customers deserve transparent pricing and the opportunity to save money. That's why we encourage everyone to compare prices before placing an order.
The reality is simple: delivery platforms charge liquor stores commissions that can reach 20% to 30%. To offset those costs, many products on delivery apps are listed at higher prices than they are in-store.
For customers, that often means paying more for the exact same bottle, case, or pack.
Real Price Comparison: Direct Order vs Delivery Apps
Here are actual examples showing how much more customers can pay when ordering through delivery apps.
| Product | In-Store Price | App Price | You Pay Extra |
|---|---|---|---|
| Budweiser 24 Pack | $49.59++ | $52.99++ | $3.40+ |
| Johnnie Walker Black Label 750ml | $55.99++ | $68.31++ | $12.32+ |
| Smirnoff Vodka 750ml | $28.99++ | $32.93++ | $3.94+ |
| Twisted Tea 12 Pack | $29.99++ | $40.25++ | $10.26+ |
On a typical party order containing multiple cases of beer, bottles of spirits, coolers and mixers, these differences can add up very quickly. Many customers unknowingly spend $20 to $50 more per order simply because they did not compare direct pricing.
Why Alcohol Costs More on Delivery Apps
Most customers assume the delivery app price is the same as the liquor store price. In many cases it isn't.
Apps such as Uber Eats, DoorDash and Skip charge liquor stores commissions that can range from 20% to 30% or more. To offset those costs, stores often have to increase product prices on these platforms.
When you order directly from Liquor Lane, you avoid many of those markups and only pay a straightforward delivery fee.

Always Compare Promotions
To be fair, there are times when Uber Eats, DoorDash or Skip may have promotional offers that reduce the final cost of an order.
Before ordering, compare the final checkout price including:
- Product prices

- Service fees

- Promotional discount caps
Many app discounts have maximum savings limits. Once the order value increases, direct delivery is often still the cheaper option.
