Default Re: Anyone have recommendations for shipping alcohol?
Here at work, we ship wine all the time via FedEx Ground. But, as others have noted, there are potential problems. Not only do laws vary from state to state, with many prohibiting shipping into their state altogether, there are laws allowing wine but prohibiting beers or distilled liquors. We once had a state (I believe it was Delaware) return to us a case of brandy a customer had ordered because it was distilled. We argued with our FedEx rep that it was "fortified wine", and managed to get the shipment approved.


Bottom line, if you are not sure, you have two options. One, don't send it. Two, lie like hell.
