liquor via the post.

Hi lads, I have on occasions had bottles of wine sent to friends
and family through the post , usually by order from a dealer.
and surprisingly the cost of postage is negligable.
so as a matter of interest if we where sending samples of our brews
to each other via post , has anyone any idea of costs ?
PS. sorry Dogger doesnt mean you , hate to think what postage
to Canada would be .
dab.

I am not sure that it is all that bad

Using the Australia Post calculator, it looks like it would cost about $8 to send a 500g-1kg parcel.

Pretty expensive beer. But it might be a way to exchange yeast ...

Dogger, to send it to you it's between $A12.50 (sea mail) and $A18.50 (air mail) for a parcel up to 750g. That's $C11.75 to $C17.40.

There is probably some customs thing to, prick bastards exploiting the working

So if we were to post bottles to Dogger, the idea would be to bottle em then post em straight away. That way they'd be carbonated from the trip.

Might be an idea if I post mine to myself. That way it'd stop me sampling them to death before they are ready. And with the efficiency of a certain postal service they might even be vintage by the time I get em.

Thanks for that Oliver, as you say its pretty expensive homebrew,
though it may be worth while in special circumstances, for
instance, sending someone proof of that batch they just bottled
that was 9.5 % ?.
Dogger might even pay C.O.D for that one.
cheers dab.

As I have just one 50 bucks on a scratch ducet, you could talk me into about anything
