[QUOTE="TUT, post: 1059066, member: 29298"] I do surrender I do not know pharmaceutical regulations when it comes to shipping. However reading articles on this, I see no one pointing to UPS or Fedex for breaking Laws A, B and C. I do see the carriers stating things as if there are not proper regulations on this, nor any type of lists given to them on who they should stop transporting goods for immediately. Why not? And until those things happen, how can they have any liability in this? Fedex and UPS would not do anything special for wine if there weren't regulations. They wouldn't collect ABC's, they wouldn't mark boxes, require 21 years etc. But since there are proper regulations for it... Guess what? Both companies do their part in abiding by it. Sounds like this case is cart before the horse and someone not named Fedex/UPS has to get their act in gear first. No matter what is done regulation wise there will always be a black market. Now to stop that more would be requiring the carriers, including USPS to open up every package. Costs would rise a lot. Are we (Americans) really ready for that cost increase? Is that what we really want? Is it really a better world that way? Is it really even possible? This would then be challenged in court on privacy grounds. [/QUOTE]
