Buying Liquor Online?

Does anyone ever do this? Our selection of non-Tequila Mezcals in NC is pretty piss-poor, so I'm thinking of ordering online. Supposedly you can make custom orders to the NC ABC board, but it's by the case.

Doing a search on Google I come up with a few different places, but I'd just like to know if anyone has experience with any of them.

My only experience would be ordering Absinthe online from France. No problems, and according to the customs paperwork it was "printed media".... Strongest book I've ever drank.

i've bought wine online, thats about it. But i bet you could get some fantastic tequila online, just buy from a reputable dealer.

Well, that's the trick now, isn't it?

I know I've bought wine from a place online that also sells liquor, and they were great. When I can remember the name of the site, I'll let you know.

edit: they only ship spirits within NY state, sorry.

make sure your Tequila has a worm in it

I haven't myself but I know many people who buy from bevmo.com and have good luck with them. Some of them use other various sites as well. The shipping is what kills you, though.

Tequila doesn't have a worm in it. It's Mezcal marketing bullshit.


Unfortunately BevMo won't ship outside of CA.

I havent found a site that will ship booze or tobacco to Canada.

For booze...SAQ.ca or.com...given that you're in Quebec it'd be perfect for you...plus right now, free shipping til Jan 8th....i took advantage and made a $300 order yesterday....hooray for 1.75L of Vodka and Johnnie Walker....

I have used a website called Hi Time Wine Cellars. Hitimewine.com. They seem to have a big selection.

if you like good Islay Scotch Wiskeys,take a look at this

Not in all states. It varies.

I too did the absinthe thing - went just fine - I really can't believe you can't find a good product near you though - how about talking to a place and see if they'll special order something?

The NC ABC can special order, but you have to buy a whole case. Keep in mind that in NC, liquor is state-run. We don't have "Liquor Stores" like you see in California. Haven't been to FL, so I'm not sure how it works there.

this is the place to order from:

http://www.hitimewine.com/

selection on wines and beers is ot of this world, no idea on tequila as i do not drink it, but i would assume it was awesome

Yeah, I checked out Hi Time, but they don't say what states that they ship to. I'll have to e-mail them.

Yikes! I was checking out some of the on-line prices for tequila (Patron).
Glad i live on the border, i can get if for MUCH cheaper. Good luck dude

Yeah, Patron for some reason is really fucking expensive here. Cazadores used to be similar - about $45 for a 750ml bottle of the Reposado, but it dropped to $35. Suits me just fine, since it's my fave!

I need to just take a trip to stock up. How many cases of Tequila can you load into a car before the border folks start looking at you funny?

This doesn't look good

it looks like they ship to NC here.

Yeah, that's the first place I looked - but it's soooooo shady looking. They're dealing in liquor and they can't afford to have their transaction system in-house? C'mon.

SAQ here is like Tim Horton's in Moncton.
