    Hello all.

    I have received my first box from the UK into the USA.

    I'm in search of some advice on how to get my box into the UK safety. Tip, tricks, etc. Any help is greatly appreciated.



    Cheers,
    Anthony

    I assume you're referring to customs issues, which shouldn't be a problem coming into the UK. We don't mind if you ship alcohol....

    Just wrap all the bottles carefully.

    Customs issues on my end mainly. My box will be bomb proof for sure. Which carrier is commonly used state side to get it into the UK?

    Sorry, I can't advise, but do you know of any customs issues sending stuff to the US from the UK?
    Cheers.

    The beers I got from the UK came by the PO so I guess, use the PO.

    @ant_wailes : I would have a chat with @Kirk . He's an all-round great guy and he does a ton of UK to US shipping. I appreciate you want to do it the other way round but I'm sure he knows tricks both ways. Cheers!

    Single big heavy boxes attract much more attention from customs than modest stealthy multiple packages.
