    Nice, I've only found one or two sites willing to ship to my state and have had to get a proxy for way to many beers now. I'm missing out on a lot of stuff but on the bright side of things I should have some Pliny for President sooner rather than later!

    I know I say this a lot, and I may have even already said it in this thread, but the state and federal government need to kill all these regulations regarding where beer can be shipped. All 50 states should be able to ship all their products to all 50 states. At the very least the 48 contiguous state deserve it although I don't want to screw Alaska and Hawaii either. Why can I buy 190 proof everclear 3 minutes down the road but a CA brewery can't ship me some beer direct?

    I'll try not to rant about this issue any more in the future but it really grinds my gears.

    Probably/Maybe, because all 7 shipments from Hi-Wire came via UPS.
    Cases of Pounders are heavy! Thus the Heavy Shipping cost.
    I did a breakdown of buying Craft at a local store vs having it shipped.
    It worked out to be about the same.

    Assuming you have the right permits for the right state I believe all the carriers allow alcohol shipments. I have received them via UPS, USPS, and FedEx where the box was clearly labeled as containing alcohol and required a 21+ signature.

    That Burial Anatomical Transmutation costs $43? Because that's about what it came out to when I put it in my cart and put in my zip code for shipping. You talking about having stuff shipped from in-state?

    I don't he is talking about all cases but there have been a number of breweries that are shipping now that either have a flat rate for shipping or are offering discounted/free shipping on purchases over a certain amount. In those cases, I can see the price being close to local bottle shop prices.

    That some states won’t allow legal shipping it is all about money and taxes on said product. Nothing more or less. If a Ca brewery ships to PA it gains nothing. If they all worked together they could fix that, but it would kill trading as we know it.

    Burial have really gotten their shipping game down pat. My initial order when they first offered shipping (to FL) took a little over a week and a half to get to me, which isn't awful by any means, but my most recent order was placed last Thursday and on my doorstep today. Very satisfied with the ability to get one of my favorite breweries that doesn't distro in my area so easily.
