FAQ
Lifford Quebec is a company specializing in the private importation of wines and spirits based in Canada. They are dedicated to the direct import and resale of quality products
from around the world that are not available at the SAQ, thus offering customers a unique selection.
Lifford Quebec is also a key partner in the restaurant industry. Our team of dedicated representatives work closely with private customers and restaurants to provide a wide range of wines and spirits to meet the specific needs of each establishment.
In Quebec, several options are available to you for purchasing wine. Whether at the grocery store, on the shelves of your SAQ branch, or through private imports, everything must pass through the government corporation, which allows us to benefit from price control and an exceptional variety compared to other provinces.
The private import service represents an opportunity for agencies to order exclusive products via the SAQ,
in order to sell them directly to individuals or to restaurants. These products are often resold at checkout, making them rarer and available in limited quantities, and they won't end up at your regular branch.
By separating the service charge from the SAQ price, we can offer you more competitive prices. This is why you pay the service fees directly to the agency, and the rest of the amount is paid directly to the SAQ when picking up your order at the branch. This approach allows us to maintain full transparency and offer you exclusive products at advantageous prices.
We strive to make your wine shopping experience more convenient and affordable.
