I shipped a package for a friend that had some "collectibles" in it. Unfortunately, it never arrived. I called the shipping company and a guy angrily informed me that he had the package and I should know why.
When I told him I shipped it for a friend and didn't know the exact contents, he told me that it was beer and that it's illegal to ship alcohol, but that he has the package and I can come get it. I have no idea how they determined there was beer inside.
Anyway, I wanted to see if anyone knew what the possible repercussions from this could be. Is there a chance cops could be waiting for me if I go get it? Or worse - the ATF? Or do you think it's harmless and the guy was just pissed off?
I know it's illegal to send alcohol through the USPS but this was through a secondary shipping company that was using DHL and I was not aware of any regulations with them.
I never lied about the contents but I don't want to put myself in a compromising position either. Should I just give up on it?
