    Taking a trip to Spain/Portugal next week and was wondering if anyone had experience or advice on how best to ship a box back to the U.S. from Europe?? I'm aiming to stock up on Cantillon and Westy, etc and ship back home. Any advice is welcome!!
    Thanks in advance

    I recently sent some stuff to the US from the UK (not that Cantillon shit mind :-D) and it arrived there after only six days. In fact I sent two packages and they arrived together. I made some notes for future reference:

    ... To keep it legal I had to wrap each bottle in a plastic bag, then in sticky tape, then put bubble wrap around them, then tissue paper (or anything absorbent). On the custom’s form DO NOT declare. I put '2 x collectable bottles and glassware'. Got there well within a week.
