What is a Hazardous Material?
Hazardous materials come in a wide variety of forms and can be chemical, biological, radioactive, or a combination thereof. If a material or substance can cause harm to someone or something, it can be considered a hazardous material.
The Postal Service's definition of a hazardous material includes many common household and consumer products. These items may not be hazardous during normal use or storage in your home but can present a significant hazard when placed in the mail due to vibration, temperature changes, and variations in atmospheric pressure.
Some examples of commonly-used items restricted or considered hazardous under USPS regulations include:
Perfumes
Nail polish
Flea collars or flea sprays
Aerosols
Bleach
Pool chemicals
Paints
Matches
Batteries
Fuels or gasoline
Airbags
Dry ice
Mercury thermometers
Cleaning supplies
Items previously containing fuel
Glues
Fireworks
Other items, such as alcoholic beverages (beer, wine, liquor), are not considered hazardous but are prohibited and boxes displaying such markings are also prohibited.
If you are unsure whether a material is considered hazardous or is prohibited, please contact 1-800-ASK-USPS or your local Business Mail Entry Unit.
According to the USPS, you cannot ship alcohol.
i just have no use for it and don't want it in my house. i figure someone on here might either like to collect the container or wanna drink it.
hell, i'd deliver it in person if i could.
and happy new year jacob.
happy new year!
...is there a way i can ship it?
Uhhhhhhh, in a box!?!?!?!?
wine is chemically very different and therefore reacts differently to storage, so it can and does age in the bottle.
the "aged xx years" refers the the amount of time it was aged prior to bottling when "aging" essentially stops. sure technically its 38 year old whiskey, but its only been aged 7 years if that makes sense.
just fyi, spirits dont age in the bottle. they can degrade(read get worse) but as a rule dont get better.

Sorry to say it won't be a day more aged than the day it was decanted. (put in the bottle) Whisky stops aging the minute it is removed from the wood barrel it was aged in. Unlike wine aging in distilled drinks is a byproduct of the charcoaled insides of the wooden barrel
kevd...does that mean yer in?

but since your unemployed and job hunting, I think you'd be better
off selling it on e-bay. You may get a pretty penny for it.
Thanks for offer thou.
I have a friend who sells old toaster ovens she finds and cleans
up. also other items. You might start a mail order business.
I noticed your photograph was really good. Mouse
Thanks,
I bought this Jim Beam on E-bay full with the seal unbroken.
