What is the legality of shipping alcohol across state lines?

I tried to research it and found a lot of conflicting information regarding hazardous material, okay to receive but not send, etc.

Does the USPS, UPS, other places check/confiscate/turn you over to the authorities for a fine?

Technically, it's not legal without the proper paperwork and applicable duties paid, but on the flip side, unless you are sending via USPS Media Mail, the packages are all sealed against inspection without a federal warrant.

(use lots of bubble wrap)

Customs is a whole different story.

They can open packages, since the packages haven't been handed off to to the USPS yet.

PS: Commie rum is average at best. Their cigars are great though. Nicaraguan rum is way better..

Not really. Aside from the HC barrel proof. whch is pretty good but not great, there are better rums from other countries.

But if your pseudo-elite philistine palate likes it, I won't try and convince you otherwise.

If you enjoy it, you enjoy it. Who am I to say what you should enjoy.

Honestly, I just don't think that HC is that great. Not bad, but not great.

For sipping rum, I'd give Flor de Cana 18 and 21 a try. Seriously. It might surprise you.

For mixing, meh, whatever.

Aaaah, yes... I've shipped a couple of "snow globes."

One of them broke and I had to claim the soggy box at the Post Office. Fortunately, the liquid within the "snow globes" was colorless and odorless...
