dnoblett Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 The P.O. does not list that as prohibited or restricted. http://pe.usps.com/text/imm/ce_009.htm#ep1400280 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Am4wag Posted January 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Cool.......I thought there might be some restriction of sort because of liquor being regulated/taxed.........he'll be a happy guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhou Zhou Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 I have always taken 2 liters packed in my checked bag and never had any trouble. TSA, looks at it and touches it without a blink. BTW, they seem to really go for Southern Comfort and my Tai Tai loved Kahlua. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert S. Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Because it is in PDF form I could not copy/paste, but the answer for those who want to see is on page 21 of this USPS guide: Restricted items They don't tell why alcoholic beverages are restricted, perhaps because some of them are flammable, and a lot of them are bubbly and might explode.

JonathanM Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 you need a license to ship alcohol beverages through USPS, Fedex, UPS, etc... At least this was the rule of thumb when I was in the shipping business Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
