Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012

Sale and supply of alcohol generally - Licensing generally, requirements on licensees, and conditions - Kinds of licence and their effect

19: Off-licences: direct delivery of alcohol, by arrangement with holder, by distributor, importer, manufacturer, or wholesaler

You could also call this:

“Alcohol can be delivered straight to off-licences from suppliers with a prior arrangement”

If you have an off-licence, you can arrange for a distributor, importer, manufacturer, or wholesaler to deliver alcohol directly to you from their premises. You make this arrangement with the person or company that holds the alcohol. The alcohol is treated as if it came from your licensed premises.

When the distributor, importer, manufacturer, or wholesaler delivers alcohol to you, it is like you delivered it from your own premises. This is how it works for the purposes of the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012. You can find more information by looking at the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012 and similar laws, such as s 29(2) from 1989.
