ONE funny thing though, a friend of mine shipped something from HK, some toy guns that the government didn't like, but he used his cousin's return address, so when the parcel was rejected, it went to his cousin who live 2 house down the same street as his Canadian address .. but I highly doubt that US postal will be this stupid
This sounds right, but there is even another issue. I am not certain that there is a permissable amount of alcohol that is legal to ship without a permit specifically for shipping alcohol. Depending on the origin and specific destination, there could be additional fines for attempting this if/when you get caught.


Only an open mind and open heart can be filled with life.
