Ordering Beer Online

Are you referring to Bierzwerg or Landbierparadies? Only reason I ask is that whilst both mail beer EU wide, I have had breakages and problems with LBP. Great service and everything, but they use Hermes which I'm sure are great in Germany but are woeful elsewhere. Two separate deliveries of 20 bottles per order to my parents in France lost me 8 bottles in breakages. They refunded me but I didn't really want my €1.30 a bottle back, I wanted my beer! Postage cost €18 to France. Boxes are not strong enough for exporting. Bierzwerg are really excellent, very quick to assemble and send and they use strong boxes and DHL which costs more at €30 postage BUT I get 24 bottles in one piece. In British money though I pay about £2.20 a bottle to my door, so I'm not complaining. Delivery to the US is almost always out of the question due to the red tape, customs and costs.
