Maybe because you sent it by FedEx?

Nope. Pošta. They opened it once and wouldn't let me send lavanda ulje (lavender oil for you Americans reading). Said that it was on the list of what couldn't be sent to the States.

We'll see in the future. Maybe I can send some beers to the States afterall, someday.

My wife just reminded me that it was specifically because it was going to America. They made me open it, then looked up lavanda ulje and said American rules didn't allow it.

How long do you need to boil it for to get rid of carbonates? I'm in Adelaide, Australia and apparently our water is 140 ppm calcium carbonate.
