I've even heard about a seller shipping a $15,000 bottle of whisky within the states and taking the gamble on it. Its your chance to take. Hopefully the receiver won't claim it as damaged and send you back the empty pieces.

It is illegal to ship alcohol in the US without a license.

Ebay policy of selling the "collectible container" is only
to enable them to collect fees on the sold item. Some
folks are willing to take the chance shipping bottles using
various services. You cannot insure the item and in the
event the package is opened, you will be in trouble, not
ebay.

USPS, UPS, FedEX, DHL and most others have a Dangerous
Goods or Hazardous Materials policy - check the website to
see what is acceptable and what is prohibited.
