| Am I guaranteed safe delivery? |
Yes. 95% of our shipments are to the USA, but our couriers are highly experienced in
shipping all over the world, including the USA, UK, all of Europe, Australia and Japan.
Because of past customs problems, we ship accesories, glassware and spoons, but
not actual absinthe to Canada. If you're not sure whether we ship to your country,
please email us first to check. You'll generally receive your absinthe within 10 days of
ordering it - in some cases even quicker. Delivery is to your doorstep - in normal
circumstances we take care of all customs formalities. In the very unlikely event that an
item gets lost or broken in transit, we replace it immediately.

| Is absinthe legal in my country? |
Probably. In the last decade, regulatory authorities all over the world have come to the realization that the reasons for the
banning of absinthe a century ago were specious, and had little to do with any inherent danger on the product, and
everything to do with the fevered prohibitionist politics of the time. Absinthe with less than 10mg/l of thujone is legal
throughout the EU, Scandinavia and Eastern Europe. In many countries - Spain, Portugal, the UK - absinthe was never
banned in the first place. It's been re-legalized in France and Switzerland. It's legal in Canada, Australia, most of South
America, South Africa and Japan. Recently, the sale of absinthe with less than 10ppm of thujone has been re-legalized in the
USA. It's never been illegal to possess, or to drink absinthe in the US.
