Have a friend in Kentucky for the festival this week and was wondering how a man could get some bourbon shipped back home? He is flying so that is not a option. Any suggestions?



not hard to do. lots of bubble wrap, packing peanuts, and fedex prepaid label

some people put various noise makers in the box to distract from the "glug" but i never have. i think it draws more attention to the package

yeah UPS typically does the trick. From my experience budget about 7-8$ per bottle for shipping. most I have ever shipped at once was 2 though and it was $15 for UPS shipping

Never had UPS ask anything, have an admin at work print the label for me and stick it on the box. Guess if you print the label at the store thats a different story?

I have had the UPS Store pack the bottles for me before. That has proven to be cost prohibitive. It has been my experience that the UPS Store will ship liquor but will make you ship with adult signature required.

Unc told him how much he loved that sweet Louisville shirt he had on and he tooked it out from under the counter. Real talk though I am pretty curious as well how something like that was just on the shelf, no way it wasnt marked up huh?
