What the B.C. delivery rules require
A licensed store may deliver an order only from the store where it was purchased, and delivery must remain within British Columbia. The provincial summary lists delivery between 9 a.m. and 11 p.m., subject to local-government or Indigenous Nation restrictions. The underlying Cannabis Licensing Regulation sets the legal conditions.
A practical buyer checklist
Before ordering, verify that the seller is a licensed retailer with a physical store and that the delivery address is in B.C. Check any delivery fee and product cost when placing the order. On arrival, the customer or another adult acting for them may accept it; the recipient's name and signature must be recorded. The provincial rules do not require the customer to personally receive every delivery.
If something does not look right
A seller claiming to ship cannabis from outside B.C., collect payment at the door, or deliver without an age-gated licensed retailer deserves extra checking. Use the official B.C. store map. Rules here summarize retail delivery; they do not decide a specific complaint or establish whether an individual seller is licensed.
