How to Post Beer

[Zephyr259]

Hi folks,

I'm just curious how people go about posting their beer to each other for swaps and competitions? What rules do the postal companies have etc. I did some searches on here but didn't see an existing thread.

Thanks

small parcel with post office for �£2.90 and under 2 kg - you can fit 2 x 330 in. The smallest Maximum dimension is 16cms. i.e one side of the parcel will need to be under 16cms that's the hardest bit to achieve, if you're doing your own packaging.

An old beer order box cut to size and a bit of tissue or bubble wrap for security then LOTS of tape. 😂

Thanks guys, very helpful. I wasn't sure if there was an issue posting a pressurized glass vessel.

A few of us did a group buy on eBay to buy polystyrene cyclinders used for posting bottles. Very useful to have

I have found when posting if you say 🍺 is inside they often um and ahh because the y don't know how to classify it. No it's not a spirit tsk tsk. Clearly they need to know if it's potentially flammable. I get that, but I say fizzy pop in a glass bottle. That usually leads to the fewest questions, although a few nosey ones then ask... Ooh how do you do that...
