§ 11.64. Bulk purchases.
(a) Bulk purchases are allowed under this subchapter only in quantities of 50 gallons or more per order, consisting of at least 12 gallons per type in containers of 1 gallon or large capacity. If operating conditions do not permit supplying the sizes, the Board may, upon receipt of a written application setting forth satisfactory reasons, permit the use of smaller sizes. The Board will not approve applications for sizes smaller than 1 gallon if the same brands are listed for sale in State Liquor Stores. Permittees shall place their orders with the Bureau of Purchases of the Board. Every order shall include the following:
(1) The name and address of the purchaser.
(2) The name and address of the person or firm to whom the order is directed.
(3) The brand name or description of the liquor desired.
(4) The manner in which the liquor is to be packed, including the size and number of containers.
(5) The manner in which the liquor is to be shipped, including the name of the carrier. If the carrier is a trucking company, the carrier shall hold a valid Transporter-for-Hire License issued by the Board.
(6) The destination to which the shipment is to be made.
(b) An order shall be accompanied by a remittance in the amount of $5.
(c) Upon approval by the Board of an order from a permittee, the order will be forwarded to the specified vendor who will be notified to make shipment to the Board at the destination given in the order.
(d) The Board will also furnish the purchaser with a notice of release in duplicate, both copies of which shall be signed by the purchaser and surrendered to the carrier upon delivery of the liquor. The carrier shall then sign the original in the space provided and forward it to the Board, retaining the other copy for his file.
(e) The Board will not be liable to a vendor for the purchase price of liquor purchased, nor for transportation charges, or claims, in connection therewith.
(f) The Board reserves the right to inspect purchases made under this subchapter, as well as records covering transactions thereunder.
