I've ordered online from Jamaica and early on had success.
The last two shipments were seized and I ended up picking up empty open boxes covered in yellow seizure tape with the
federal paperwork attached which would give me a process to attempt to get my illegal hooch returned.
It's all about the taxes... The government could care less what booze you're bringing in but does care that you are avoiding the alcohol taxes due them.
My source in Jamaica quit sending to the U.S. they said that every shipment was being intercepted now and it was not worth it.
