I have never had an issue shipping via FedEx to the US. In fact, a recent box I sent to Wisconsin, was opened, inspected, re-packed and delivered. I can't speak for Canada Post because I always use FedEx.

I don't do it anymore. Customs flags so much now. I had three straight packages. Now I only trade with the states if I'm going to the states and mail it from there.

No worries. I always tell them I'm bringing beer for my buddy who just had a baby.

Dude has about 32 kids by now.
