Guest guest Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Break it up into 32oz. (or less) containers and you should be able to ship those (individually) without special requirements or fees, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 > > Quantity/size is not an issue. > This is apparently not true with UPS. Here is a quote from snowdriftfarm regarding shipping alcohol: " UPS ground service is the simplest option for the shipment of consumer commodities. Even they have some restrictions, though. 1) UPS will not accept consumer commodities at UPS Stores or drop-off locations 2) you must have a UPS account and pick-up service UPS ground shipments do have several requirements, though. 1) All packages must weigh less than 20 pounds if packed in EC32 boxes (the most common type of box -- a single wall box); 2) a label bearing the notation " ORMD " and the statement " inner packings comply with prescribed requirements " must be affixed to the outside of the box; 3) the inner packages must be tightly sealed and properly cushioned to prevent breakage and spillage. All lids must be sealed to prevent opening during transit. Tape or tamper-evident seals are required. Secondary containment, such as over-bagging, is also desirable. Glass, metal or plastic containers may be used. Glass containers may hold no more than 500 mL. Metal or plastic containers may hold up to one liter. NOTE: These are ground restrictions. Air shipments may require smaller containers. " You can create a UPS account on their website with a credit or debit card, so if you really wanted to ship it you should be able to it looks like. -mikeH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
