Shipping Beer

by Rick Glos 7/30/2008 11:01:00 PM

So I've had this box of beer sitting in the living room for awhile with the intentions of shipping it to my buddy back in Illinois.  Problem is, UPS won't let you ship beer.  You have to lie.  So my wife takes it down to the UPS Store and the first thing on of the employees say, without even knowing what's in the package is, "Is that alcohol?  We can't ship it."  She wasn't even helping her but eavesdropping.  So we pay the $35 bucks and sure enough next day it arrives back on my doorstep.

Return To Sender - Alcohol.

They opened the box up after we left!  UPS Nazi!

So I'm stuck.  Googling wasn't too promising.

Sorry Ryan.  I guess I'm just going to have to drink this beer...

It's a tough job but somebody has got to do it.

Later.

Did they give your $$ back?? So you Can't ship beer, but they can ship all sorts of other crazy shit(Blood/chemicals/viagra) without a problem. I told them it was a gift when I sent some of the Midwest's finest to you around Christmas time(I think they were just too Busy to give a shit). I have a back up if the UPS Nazi's try to Beer Block me. I'll just send out the back door from the Mazak Dock. We'll call it "Machine parts". They are on a tight timeline and don't have time to check shit out. Out the door, on the truck and off to be sorted. Thanks for trying though!!!!

I know it's crazy. And no we didn't get our money back actually... so now I'm on a UPS Store strike. There on lockout until further notice. The googling did turn up DHL. I may try them to see if I can get beer shipped since I don't have 'connections'.

BTW, did you finally get Celis White around you anywhere? And if there was one beer you could have from out here that you remember, what would it be?
