Anybody bought from Licorea?

Has anybody bought from this site before, it offers discount alcohol from mainland Europe. I'm not sure how it works though, legally. I saw it referenced on another forum.

It looks legit enough, based in Spain.

Needless to say, buying in bulk shouldn't mean bulk consumption of booze!

A litre bottle of Jameson for example, £16.29. A 70cl bottle from Tesco's is over £20 as I just looked.

Anyhow, I was wondering if anyone else has bought from them, to distill my fears, so to speak.

Do they include Spanish excise duty in the price? If not they could be seized. Are they over 35 centilitres in size? If yes with no uk duty stamp they could be seized.

Not sure they're such a bargain to be honest compared with waiting for deals here. Xxx

Have a read on this link:

The top and bottom is because you're using a courier rather than accompanying it yourself then you become liable to tax and duty Xxx

I see. I guess maybe it's not worth the risk, if customs find the parcel and slap tax on it. Hmm.
