    Hello everyone

    So with Christmas seemingly fast approaching I want to do something nice for my mother who likes a drop of Bailey's especially on these cold winter nights anyway my question is can I order a few bottles of alcohol from Amazon pantry and have them delivered over here I currently thanks to boards have a student prime membership.

    Does the box that Amazon use fit in a parcel motel Locker?

    As you know Amazon won't send Alcohol to Ireland and if you read Parcel Motels Terms and Conditions Alcohol is a prohibited item that they say you can't send using their service

    I was thinking, what country has cheap alcohol.... Spain
    So I went to Amazono.es and It will let me order whiskey to Ireland. However the shipping is far to expensive to make a difference.
    Odd that the Spanish amazon would allow me to order but not the UK one. I'm unsure if it would make it past customs regardless.

    If it's found by customs it will be destroyed - there is no ability for a consumer to pay duty due on intra customs union alcohol purchases

    I've bought a bottle of Gin of Amazon before and got it delivered to Ireland with no problems.

    So customs slipped up? They can't check every single parcel.
