Shipping whisky within the UK and to EU

[Dan75]

Does packages sent with DPD or Parcel Force usually arrive ok? Within the UK or from the UK to the EU?

Thanks!

Any alcoholic beverage with alcohol content greater than 24% ABV is prohibited from sending internationally using Royal Mail, you can post within the UK with Royal Mail, if packaged correctly it should arrive intact. I have never posted anything with DPD so I cannot comment.

Avoid DPD if you can. Dreadful.

If I'm sending anything to a UK-based friend, I drop it into Mail Boxes Etc. They pack the bottle(s) and then send using either Parcelforce or UK Mail. No problems so far.

I've never sent a bottle abroad.

your in a minefield sending alcohol anywhere make sure you know the relevant customs rules where your sending from and were to
because your not a business the rules are different also contact the courier they all vey
