FYI, we got popped once, for shipping brandy to a customer in, if I remember correctly, Delaware. We got out of it by arguing it was no liquor, but simply fortified wine.

Shipping of wine and spirits is governed by the laws of two (2) states: The one where it is shipped from, and the one that it's getting shipped to.

The FedEx link is to FedEx policies only, not laws. If you scroll down that page, you will also see that FedEx prohibits the shipment of all tobacco products (including cigars), even though cigars are still legal to ship into and out of most states (but not all!). That FedEx policy only went into effect last week (1/5/16).

I'm in Upstate NY, and regularly have whiskey shipped to from various shops in the NYC area. But they are not permitted to ship outside the State of NY.
