Which courier services will ship alcohol to EU countries, and what do we need to do to set them up?
Finding reliable courier services for alcohol shipments to the EU is inconsistent—experiences vary widely even with the same provider. **FedEx** is the most commonly recommended option, but you must set up an alcohol shipping profile with them first before attempting shipments; members report good success once this is in place, though others have experienced returns. **DPD** has been mentioned as a potential alternative, though at least one member reports their alcohol shipments were suspended by DPD. Smaller sample sizes (50cl bottles at 16% ABV) may be easier to place than larger volumes. Expect to encounter rejections and returns even with established couriers—the EU alcohol logistics market remains fragmented post-Brexit, and carrier policies change frequently. Set up your shipping profile and test with a small shipment before committing to larger orders.
