Section 2 of 6:
How do I ship alcohol as a gift or for personal use?
-
Use an alcohol delivery app. In recent years, apps like Drizly and Thirstie have become popular and convenient ways to get alcohol directly delivered. These apps work with retailers across the country to offer direct-to-door alcohol delivery. This makes them perfect for when you want to send a gift or get alcohol sent to you, and keeps you from having to worry about all the laws surrounding shipping. [4] X Research source
-
Work with an alcohol retailer directly. If you’re trying to send someone a bottle of wine or spirits as a gift, try contacting a retailer within their state. An in-state retailer will have a way easier time getting alcohol shipped to you or someone else, since they possess the proper licenses to do so. [5] X Research source
