I am wanting some Iowa wines for Christmas. BUT, Iowa law does not allow them to ship wines directly to Texas. I am over 21, and can send my DL - thats not the issue. The issue is interstate wine laws. However, they CAN ship to Ill. I am thinking of having the wine shipped to a Mail Boxes Etc. type store in Chicago where they can repack it and ship it to me in Houston. But, to assure the store owner/manager in Chicago that I am not pulling something illegal I would love to be able to show them that shipping wine from IL to Texas is not illegal. Does anybody have a link or something that can give the store owner that assurance so they will act as my intermediate with confidence? If you can post a link or resource, I'd be so thankful!!!

Please stop posting BS. There are laws regarding shipping wine across state lines and it has nothing to do with prohibition.

You should be able to ship the wine just fine.
The law that you are referring to is Direct Shipment, meaning that the alcohol would have to come from a source like eBay or an actual wine store. Since it is a gift, it is not considered direct shipment.
Also, you will not be able to ship it through the United States Postal service. You will have to use a service like UPS because the US Postal service cannot ship alcohol ANYWHERE in the US regardless of the state
Try to get shipping insurance on it in case of any problems since the item will be delicate
Good luck
PS telling them that it is perfume is a good idea but will not help, the US Post office cannot ship liquids of any kind regardless of how small it is.

It relies upon on your state's regulation. needless to say you are able to continually attempt to deliver the wine with you (in spite of the undeniable fact which you're subject to customs on something over a liter - whether it fairly is often to plenty difficulty for customs to do it -- they have terrorists to seize, in spite of everything -- till you have a minimum of 10 bottles, offered YOU declare IT! in any different case bypass on your well-known wine keep and ask in the event that they'll "sparkling" your wine for you thru a qualified importer yet be arranged to attend till the wine is consolidated onto a container till you're prepared to pay astronomical delivery expenses. In 3 states (CA, MA and TX) and D.C. retailers is additionally importers that would keep somewhat for you. This has additionally been presently a court docket determination in yet another state - Washington - whether that's being appealed. In some states - enormous apple as occasion - there are reliable point importers that do no longer something yet clearing for shops.

I can suggest that you package the wine well and when asked what is inside, tell the shipping service perfume.
