Default Need some help

I put this in the shoutbox but I thought I'd make a thread so nobody misses it.

I'm trying to get my hands on a bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue.

None of the liquor stores in New Brunswick have it, nor do the stores in Nova Scotia.

It's fairly expensive but I really like it. The only place I can find it is the restaurant/bar I work at and they sell it for 28 dollars a shot.. it's not THAT good.

I'd also settle for Johnnie Walker Black, not nearly as expensive but I like that very much as well.

If one of you could find it and quote me the price, I'm willing to send you the money to get it for me and ship it to me here as long as it's not ridiculously expensive.

I'll go as high as 200 for the blue, and 100 for the black.

Thanks to anyone that can help.

Who will ship it? Most frown upon shipping flammable or alcoholic beverages. Find a shipper and I'm on the case.

Can get a 750 mL bottle of Blue for $215.95 (!!), but, like CR, I'm unsure how shipping would work for that kind of thing, especially internationally. Black Label is available at this place in all different sizes and at much more reasonable prices.

It's my understanding that there is no "legal" way to ship it... Shipping it through USPS virtually assures it getting confiscated.

Shipping it through FedEx (packaged appropriately) works though.

This is obviously something that I would understand completely if nobody was comfortable doing it, but for the record, the most that would happen for a single bottle of scotch is that it would be confiscated.

That being said, anyone willing to attempt it (at my financial peril) PM me.

If not, I totally understand guys.

I think it actually depends on the state. I know I can't ship alcohol to or from Massachusetts, but other states I'm pretty sure allow it.

Everyone should booze up and riot against alcohol restrictions.
