Message Jdizzle1 beers 3 º 13:52 Tue 10/25/2016 I noticed Mikkeller and other European beer sites have stopped shipping brews (for sale on website) into the US. Has anyone who has been trading w/ US based members had any issues? Any boxes seized, held up extended periods in customs, or any other occurrences of note? I’m just wondering as Black Friday is coming up and I’m trying to score some Bourbon County bottles. Please tell me it isn’t so!!!

Message DietPepsican P beers 1592 º places 63 º 14:39 Tue 10/25/2016 Big shakeup in shipping bier currently on a federal and state level unfortunately. I think you’ll see less and less of it done legally until people care enough to throw enough money at it to make it a thing again.

Message acurtis beers 53 º places 7 º 14:59 Tue 10/25/2016 I’ve had a few west coast buddies have their stuff shipped to me (east coast) and then I relabel and send it to its final destination. Not sure if west coast delivery is still an issue.

Message Travlr beers 33887 º places 4583 º 16:05 Tue 10/25/2016 Yeah I also got a box from Germany about a week ago, slicker than snot
Message biggsbowler beers 635 º places 22 º 16:20 Tue 10/25/2016 I only heard that people on the west coast were still having boxes confiscated, which has been a problem for at least a year now.

Message Countbeer beers 6586 º places 259 º 16:53 Tue 10/25/2016 A couple of years back I had send a box to the States which was confiscated. That was a damn good box and loosing those beers made me re think the whole shipping beers to the states thing. Than I kept trying and all went fine, inc the west coast. But quite recently a box to Canada, which I never had problems with before, was also confiscated and thus another fine box was gone...

Message Alen places 1 º 20:00 Tue 10/25/2016 I had numerous issues having beer shipped to California (through LAX), so ended up having someone from the east coast accept it for me (I think it went through JFK), then they just shipped it to me across the states.
