Default Re: Liquor online

To be serious, Michael, there may be good reason for high shipping costs of scotch you found. Namely, it is illegal.

I worked for a store that shipped wine. Most states allow that interstate, some only allow it intrastate (for instance, Texas will let you receive wine from a Texas vineyard, but not one of those crappy California ones), and some ban it entirely. But that is wine, which is allowed from a licensed supplier to a consumer. When it comes to beer or spirits, that is only allowed from one licensed supplier to another one, and is prohibited to consumer addresses. Some companies will still do this, but they risk confiscation of the shipment, as well as fines and penalties.
