[pct-l] Shipping Alcohol



Help!!!!!!

I have just been told that I can not ship alcohol using domestic mail (
Sedro Wolley postal clerk).

I have bottled up all my alcohol, and it was in all my resupply boxes.  And
my husband, being a pilot and remembering the Air Florida Crash, started to
get uneasy about mailing my boxes.  He, in fact, mailed alcohol to me over
the last month.

The reason I (and other people) have choosen to use an alcohol stove, is
that I was under the impression that alcohol can be mailed. I know that a
number of posters have said this.

Am I missing something? Was the Postal Clerk wrong, have the regulations
changed, is there a different regulation that allows alcohol to be shipped?
 We are trying to find regulations on Shipping instructions, but go through
multiple, confusing menus on the phone, and then various people are not
available to answer the query.
