I have always encountered friendly staff at post offices, but they said
even if there was no booze in the bot, and they knew there wasn't, they
could not accept it.
I don't think the states have any say so as to what the USPS does.
I asked what if I shipped booze in a plain unmarked box and they said I
wasn't supposed to do that.

State laws can be pretty over-zealous when it comes to
shipping booze,
even if the package goes THROUGH a state with more stringent laws.

I have been buying my shipping supplies from
U-LINE for years and have
always been impressed with the service and pricing.
When I can't get to the right size box I sometimes use free boxes from an
area liquor store. I went to the post office last week to ship a few
boxes
to a list member and was told they could not ship
any kind of booze box
unless wrapped in a grocery bag or painted over.
When I had my UPS account, or used fed-ex, they took them. They just
worried about previous shipping info on the box.
I tried another post office and the same thing happened.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks, Paul
