EU Retailers willing to ship Alcohol-based products overseas

There are a couple of retailers in the Americas that seem to be willing and able to ship aftershaves and other alcohol based products overseas (Smallflower and Italian Barber are the two that I have used).

Are there any EU based retailers willing to do the same? Gifts & Care stopped doing it a while back, which is really disappointing. Surely, there must be some other wet shaving suppliers willing to ship globally (specifically, down under)?

My Myrsol stash is running low and I am feeling a bit panicky! :p
 

At least they'll send to overseas (they don't mention alcohol based AS)

Here is a list for online shaving gear suppliers. Maybe you'll find some suitable. (BTW we in Europe have the same problem with US and UK based shops. They don't send alcohol based products to EU)

Unfortunately, almost none of them are willing to ship as I believe most countries local customs office prohibits it without a specific import license. This makes it both prohibitively expensive and also inconsistent. I know a local retailer who has stopped selling alcohol based AS even domestically as they were finding that many of the parcels they sent out were being kept by customs for weeks at a time. Your best bet wil be a good sized domestic online retailer, ordering direct without a local distributor will be very difficult, if not outright impossible. On the off chance they do send it, the chances of it being seized are also pretty high. So I personally fall in the 'just not worth it' camp.
 
I'm not even able to order AS splashes from abroad within the EU. There is a regulation against it imo. Your only option is to buy from a domestic (for you) supplier.
It might be that some sellers would ship it, because ultimately the risk is yours, but there is a high chance it will be held by customs (talking about EU inbound now).
 
I may be wrong, but air shipping does not allow alcohol based products due to them being flammable. There are so many great A/S that I would love to try. Here in the States, Bullgoose has a small variety of overseas A/S that piques my interest. Domestic shipping wise, the few times I have received alcohol based A/S they have come via UPS that has a strong ground shipping component.

Wee Words of Wisdom
I live in the UK. I know that shipping from the USA almost doubles the price of AS. I'm not sure how much it would cost going the other way.
 
I'm OK with paying more; that is to be expected for air freighting hazardous materials. I'm just surprised disappointed that there aren't more retailers willing to do it.
 
Manufactum seems to ship AS and cologne to the U.S. by courier at a hefty fee.

Never used them personally. Nowadays I mostly buy AS stateside due to the restrictions and costs associated with getting it from Europe.
 
I'm late to the party as far as helping the OP, but Maggards carries Myrsol aftershaves and soaps...
