Is there a service or a way to ship a bottle of Bourbon to buddies house in Alabama & Mississippi? I’d like to get this done by Christmas.

Remember, USPS is illegal. FedEx is just frowned upon.

But their employees don’t care that it’s illegal. I’ve had boxes delivered with beer leaking from them because the bottle or can busted. FedEx and UPS won’t deliver and will send an angry letter to the sender.

Got 3 alcohol shipments in the last 2 days. 2 bottles of bourbon and 12 cans of beer. All were USPS.

Can't speak for FedEx, but I work for UPS and we absolutely will deliver alcohol. There just has to be someone home at the time of delivery who is 21+ with ID to prove it and sign for it, otherwise it does not get delivered.

And every beer box I've ever shipped has arrived safely.

Do your due diligence and it doesn't matter.

Will yall ship alcohol from unregistered individuals?

Haven't tried in a long time, but used to there were lots of hoops to jump through just to be able to ship.

Just don’t label it as alcohol. If it’s in glass bottle just label it as fragile and no one will give a shite.

This.

USPS is illegal. UPS or FedEx the sender has to have a license. Box up at home and use which ever. I know a guy that’s shipped a lot of “Olive Oil” and “BBQ sauce”. Only gotten a package returned once by FedEx. They took one of two bottles and sent a letter. It was Stagg Jr so not huge deal but still sucked.
