    I am looking for advice. My gf (a CAMRA member) needs to have her palate properly wrecked so I want to ship her some of my favorite US beers from time to time. I don't even know where to start. The interwebz is not being any help.

    Thanks for any info/help you can offer folks!

    no matter what you end up doing. PACK IT WELL, no sloshing sounds outside the box and LIE LIE LIE on the customs form. Good luck

    I saw DHL trucks all the time when I was stationed in the UK, so maybe you can use them. Just be sure to lie on the customs form. Better yet get to know a US service member stationed in the UK. As long as you pack extremely well and lie correctly on the customs form you can ship to their APO/FPO address via USPS and it will cost the same as shipping to New York. They can forward the box along or arrange an in person pickup.

    Your girlfriend lives in the UK, and you're in NY? Damn that sucks. I don't know how you do it.
