Yeah, FedEx/Kinkos is also good because you just fill out the ground shipping form, attach to your box of beer and into the mail box it goes. No annoying questions asked.

I've been shipping collectible art pottery with the local UPS folks for the past 10 years or so. They know me so they don't question it when I ship "collectible beer bottles".

I just signed up for an account on UPS and fill out all the info, pay, print the label and attach. I then just drop off at a local UPS store. I don't even need to talk to anyone. No questions asked.

Don't ask; don't tell, dude. My local UPS point is a hardware store. The rednecks there can barely write their own names, let alone ask me what's in the package.

Yeast samples is the excuse I use. It is fucking ridiculous that webstores can ship beer without a problem...
