I placed an order with Alandia, I’ve ordered with them many times in the past and never encountered any problems what so ever.
I’ve always received my order with in 6 days, not bad since it’s coming from Germany. Well after 3 weeks, and no green faery, I dropped them a line. They told me that customs grabbed every order they shipped over the last few weeks, they also said that there competitors were having the same problems as well. They would not take a chance on reshipping, but did give me a full refund. In the e-mail they recommended holding of on purchasing anything from them till they can guarantee the shipping, or Uncle Sam cools off.
Caveat Emptor…

Tue, August 1, 2006 - 2:24 PMNote that the UK absinthe shippers are not affected by this problem, and are open for business as usual. These include eAbsinthe.com and LaFeeAbsinthe.com.
3/5 day shipping to the US by courier, trackable online, and 100% guaranteed.

Sun, August 6, 2006 - 7:18 AMThis is so unbelievable, it has to be true.
Complete bullshit.
The govt. says absinthe is "bad" for us. Well, let's get serious here.
If they're so damn concerend with our own health, why do we still have products on the market like: Coffee, Ephedrine, Cigarettes and Mc Donald's fast food? All these substances taken in excess cause serious health problems...of course eating too much corn to excess does the samn damn thing.
Seriously, people have to stop looking to govt. to solve their personal problems, and govt. should really know where to draw the line - like oh, I dunno issues which concern the country, not a select few individuals....
Ok I'll stop.
So sorry to hear that things have gotten shitty with shipping.
It's great that Alandia was good enough to give a full refund. I have used them a few tikmes before and have always been impressed with their shipping.
I will have to look to the U.K. distributors for my next shipment. If all goes well, I'll let you know. -

Re: Uncle Sam .... Customs Seized my Green Faery - NOT from the UK!
Sun, August 20, 2006 - 10:09 PMOur shipping from the UK (eAbsinthe.com and LaFeeAbsinthe.com) is completely OK. We ship by courier, meaning everything goes on cargo flights with no passengers, so no delays. We always conduct a spot-check of packages sent, and can confirm that there have been no delays. In fact, the day after the incident we shipped a package on the Friday which was signed at its New Jersey destination on Saturday morning! Business as normal ... or in fact a bit quicker than normal! -
