[QUOTE="RustyPMcG, post: 769420, member: 30339"] You are correct. Also, only a licensed wine dealer can ship wine in the first place. There is no consumer-to-consumer wine shipping allowed. You cannot buy wine as a gift, and head off to The UPS Store to ship it to your friend. Some The UPS Stores, but only a minority of TUPSSs, have signed an extra agreement with UPS that allows them to be the shipper of record if their customer is a licensed wine dealer. The store has to be in one of the states where it's allowed in the first place. Then the store has to get a copy of the dealer's license. Each shipment must be logged, and a monthly report (even if no shipments were made that month) must be filed, and that report must show each shipment, and indicate who the licensed shipper was. The licensed dealer is still responsible for knowing whether or not wine can be shipped to a specific destination, but the store staff is responsible for ensuring that Adult Signature Required is the chosen option, and that the proper sticker is applied to the package. While I'm sure there are bottles that are slipped through without our knowledge, I don't think I'm paranoid to think that there might be someone out there testing us, too. Seldom does a two week period go by without someone telling me that their is wine in the box they want to ship, or even asking me to pack a wine bottle for me. Most people either act shocked when I tell them they can't ship it, or they get angry. But occasionally someone will listen to my speech, then thank me, and leave. On a related topic, we're also not allowed to ship firearms, amunition or even gun parts. We're also not allowed to receive those items for our customers, either. Since we're not the originating party, the consignee, or the carrier, if we handle the package we'd be breaking the chain of custody. On the other hand, even if we don't have the wine shipping rider to our franchise agreement, we are allowed to take drop-offs of wine from licensed dealers shipping under their own shipper number. We are suposed to ensure that the wine sticker is on the package, but we aren't allowed to put on a sticker from the store stock of sticker if it's missing. The dealer needs to take it back, and apply a sticker from their own stock. [/QUOTE]
