    Default Sending Liquor?

    What do you guys write on the customs form when you send liquor? I just checked the US Border Protection website and it says sending liquor is prohibited And is it ok to send liquor in the states? Just not across borders?

    Write anything on it EXCEPT for liquor or cigars. That is what I (hypothetically ) would do. My success rate going south has been 100% on well over 50 packages.

    My success rate coming up here to me on the other hand is a different story.

    I think it is technically illegal for me to even ship across a provincial border.

    Don't write it off just yet. I believe that they send you a letter if they confiscate anything.

    US Expxress Mail has a max weight limit of 4 lbs., making liquor weight-prohibitive unless you use another courier.

    Don't panic yet Pal. I've had packages take up to 29 days to reach their destination, and 27 days coming this way.
