No, and in fact they have been caught in several instances delivering beer, wine and spirits to minors. In numerous instances around the United States, minors have not only ordered alcohol from online sellers, they have received the alcohol products at home in unmarked packages, with no scrutiny from delivery people. In a series of stings conducted in Michigan, one in three Internet alcohol sites contacted sold alcohol products to the decoy minor. In a recent Boston sting operation, four online retailers and three shipping companies — UPS, FedEx and DHL — were found to have sold and delivered alcohol to minors.
