What is the rule regarding deliveries to customers who are not on the licensed premises?

• A. Deliveries are never allowed under any circumstances.
• B. ABC rules typically require licensed sales and restrictions on off-premises delivery with proper permits and ID checks if required.
• C. Deliveries are unlimited to any location.
• D. Delivery requires no permits or ID checks.

Answer: (B)

Deliveries to customers not on the licensed premises fall under off-premises sales and are tightly regulated. The rule is that the sale and any delivery must occur under the seller’s licensed authority and follow restrictions on delivering off the premises. This often means you need the appropriate off-premises delivery permits and you must verify the recipient’s age at delivery, typically by checking a valid ID and ensuring the customer is 21 or older. These safeguards prevent sales to minors and keep the transaction within regulatory boundaries. That’s why this option—emphasizing licensed sales plus restrictions on off-premises delivery with any required permits and ID checks—is the correct one. The other choices imply no restrictions, unlimited delivery, or no ID/permitting, which don’t align with standard ABC compliance practices.
