Anyone know if Amazon Fresh is going to carry liquor on the 1st?
Either my Google Fu is weak or there is no available info.

I guess I should have thought to do that myself, but thank you!

You should still do it - more and more people asking may make them take notice and start carrying.

I would give amazon anything they wanted about my identity if they could bring liquor to me. Man... The fucking future.

Does Amazon Fresh/Safeway/Other carry beer or wine? I never thought to get that stuff via online services - just basics bread, eggs, milk etc.
*edit: they do, life changed

They definitely carry beer/wine but you must be present to accept the grocery instead of doing doorstep service.

Apparently they've applied for a license but it's still pending: http://blog.seattlepi.com/thebigblog/2012/05/30/costco-1600-stores-get-ready-to-sell-booze/#5511-4

Do they deliver liquor to places that already have private liquor sales? I just checked their site and they only have a beer + wine section, but that may be because it's personalized to regions. The closest I got by searching was someone posting on google+ saying he was sad that he couldn't get liquor from Amazon fresh, so maybe you won't be able to.

I saw that too. I don't think they will honestly. I'm guessing they don't fit the requirements for what is allowed to sell liquor. I can still dream though.

I'm pretty sure Amazon fresh is only in Seattle currently, though I could be mistaken.

Ah, good to know, though my point was more towards the fact that they are not available outside of Washington State, so by default they don't deliver to places that already have private liquor sales.

Will online liquor sales be allowed after the 1st? A few years ago I tried to order 20yr Pappy Van Winkle's bourbon online but the site wouldn't ship to Washington.

Safeway delivers liquor in other states, so I'm sure they'll start in WA as soon as they can.

According to the woman I called at the 1 800 number they do not plan on it as of now. She said that they will continue to sell beer/wine until they have more info to work with.
At least they didn't say it wasn't possible!
I think they want to wait and see what the demand is before they commit.
Then we should flood their call center.
