Rules and regulations for sending bottles and cans of beer as individuals
Sending and receiving alcoholic drinks by mail or courier from online stores is perfectly legal. However, when it comes to individuals wanting to ship beer, it is worth noting that most courier companies include alcoholic drinks on the list of restricted items to ship. Still, many people send bottles and cans of beer in the mail or by courier on a daily basis. Although sending beer is common, it is done at your own risk, therefore when shipping beer, make sure you understand the relevant regulations and restrictions in the pick-up and delivery country.
