    Hey guys,

    Fedex site is kind of rough to figure out price estimates, so i figured i'd ask everyone a couple questions on international trades:

    How big of a pain in the ass is customs/paperwork/etc?
    How much riskier is is than domestic?
    Ballpark cost on say, a 12 bottle shipper to EU (belgium maybe)?

    thanks, Cheers!

    I do them frequently to the Netherlands with USPS because it's half the price.
    Customs paperwork take about 5 minutes.
    Much riskier, shipping alcohol USPS is ilegal, so lie good.
    You will need to know the gift limit on the other end so you can declare the value and keep the value under it. It's $24 in Netherlands, so I ship alot of $1 energy drinks in cans.
    Ballpark on a 12 bottle shipper under 22 lbs is around $130 USPS, FEDEX was around $225.
