    The more posts about bringing it via parcel motel etc, the slimmer your chances lol, I wouldn’t chance it on a bottle of whiskey because losing it would annoy me for weeks
    I just ordered a second box of beers from beer52 but that’s only 6 quid lost if customs take it

    Why not? Why could it be stopped? If its coming from within EU VAT etc has already been paid, albeit at a different rate

    Excise duty.

    It's similar with tobacco products.

    I just got an email from Amazon this morning that my Laphroaig has been posted (via PM) so I have my fingers crossed.

    Got 3 slabs of Bulmers for 50 euro in Tesco using the voucher from today's paper.

    Under 70 cent per 500ml can, a personal best.

    They also had Smirnoff for 17 euro but I see in the paper that Supervalu have it (and Gordon's Dry/Pink Gin) for 15 until Sunday the 2nd.

    FYI.

    The SuperValu I was in, the Pink Gin stand looks like it took a hit I would get in early.

    Picked up, Heino, Pink Gin, Vodka and Baileys 60€

    Have the 10€ for Tesco so they will be getting hit. Present and the tins for myself :pac:

    So not mentioned here, Jameson 70cl for 20€ in SuperValu.

    Also not a wine drinker myself, but Centra have bottle of Yellow Tail on offer 3 for 20€.

    Also number 2, in IT today, Blackrock Dunnes opening this weekend, they'll be giving out 5€ off voucher when you spend over 50€ T&C

    I did it and it got seized by customs. After some forward and back I got them to release it as they understood it was an honest mistake, but once it was flagged to Parcel Motel they wouldn't deliver it! So a bit of a nightmare.

    Tesco up North have a special on Whiskey at the moment- if anyone is travelling north of the border.
    E.g. 15 year old Glenfiddich or Redbreast @ £30 a bottle- and many many more........
    Sale is on until the 3rd December

    somehow got a 24 for 20 discount of 28 eur, probably based on single cans.

    Slightly off topic!

    Looking to stock my own bar (wedding) in late Sept, 2019. Stock up now on alcohol and store?

    If I buy 5x24 cans off Bulmers @80e (100e - x10e vouchers), that works out at 66e a can! Will it last/worth the effort of storing?

    my bulmers, bought several weeks ago in tesco, has a BB of oct 19. So the ones in stock now should be that date or later.

    So it will "last" in the sense of BB dates, but will it last without being drank?!

    The slabs of Bulmers I bought yesterday are Best Before 11- 2019.
