Is it LEGAL to ship wine from Illionois to Texas? Plz. only if you really KNOW.?!
Answers: I am wanting some Iowa wines for Christmas. BUT, Iowa law does not allow them to ship wines directly to Texas. I am over 21, and can send my DL - thats not the issue. The issue is interstate wine laws. However, they CAN ship to Ill. I am thinking of having the wine shipped to a Mail Boxes Etc. type store in Chicago where they can repack it and ship it to me in Houston. But, to assure the store owner/manager in Chicago that I am not pulling something illegal I would love to be able to show them that shipping wine from IL to Texas is not illegal. Does anybody have a link or something that can give the store owner that assurance so they will act as my intermediate with confidence? If you can post a link or resource, I'd be so thankful!!!
You should be able to ship the wine just fine.
The law that you are referring to is Direct Shipment, meaning that the alcohol would have to come from a source like eBay or an actual wine store. Since it is a gift, it is not considered direct shipment.
Also, you will not be able to ship it through the United States Postal service. You will have to use a service like UPS because the US Postal service cannot ship alcohol ANYWHERE in the US regardless of the state
Try to get shipping insurance on it in case of any problems since the item will be delicate
Good luck
PS telling them that it is perfume is a good idea but will not help, the US Post office cannot ship liquids of any kind regardless of how small it is.
google !
As far as I know the prohibition era is over...
I can suggest that you package the wine well and when asked what is inside, tell the shipping service perfume.
