discounted Fedex shipping

[daveflintstone]

Members of Wine Institute and WineAmerica can take advantage of very special discounts on FedEx® shipping in the U.S. and internationally. These substantial savings can help offset the cost of membership. If you are not already a member, contact these associations today.

Does anyone know if something like this is available for spirits? Is it something ADI can (quickly) look into?

This would be a Very Good Thing. Shipping samples and review bottles can get spendy.

It appears it's really ShipCompliant (http://www.shipcompliant.com/)that's allowing the shipping. You get your shipping license through them.

Then FedEx is simply passing on a discount through WineAmerica, etc. You should probably be checking with ShipCompliant if their rates are same discounted one as the wine association offer. They say they work with the spirits industry.

shipcompliant is software to ensure regulatory and tax compliance, one still needs one's own shipping contractor/contract; I just called them and that's what they told me. Interesting company though, thanks for the link.
