Im looking into posting some whisky to Europe and USA and its a bit of a minefield!!
Does anyone have experience of this?
Whats the best courier to use?
Likely costs?
I want to send two bottles to Germany
One bottle to Sweden
One to Maine, USA
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

| I sent whisky to the US a few years ago via royal mail airmail but I believe they don't take alcohol by airmail now so you will be looking at a courier. Contact courier companies such as FedEx or UPS, they should be able to advise you on costs and taxes etc for each destination you are posting to. |

be very careful royal mail have changed there rules you can contact them about it as far as I know you cannot send alcohol by them outside of the uk
you would need to speak to people like fed ex about posting
it is a bit of a mine field check before you send anything as you will be the loser
haven't you noticed the amount of whisky auctions as they are a business so slightly easier for them
