USA members need some help please :D

My wife is off this Fri-Mon to NYC on a paid jolly and has offered to bring me back some honey malt for me (there is one shop in the UK that purports to sell it but on investigation it appears the owner believes that melanoidin and honey malt are the same thing).
I want to order 4kg to her hotel (most if not all uncrushed so I can use at my leisure), any of our American cousins here recommend a place that might not have issues sending malt to a hotel but charging a UK card (I will actually use my Travelex Supercard to get the best exchange rate)?
And yes she is a keeper :=P :mrgreen:

Well 'More Beer' seem to have reasonable expedited shipping rates so have emailed them to see if they have issues with it but if there are any decent Manhattan suppliers it might be a better option.

More Beer came back so quickly and had no issues with it that I placed an order for 10lb unmilled with them. I was really impressed with their customer service, just need to figure out what else I need from the US next time :P

Now you have to hope that your OH doesn't go on a shopping spree and use up her baggage allowance. :D

No hope of that, she is buying another suitcase whilst over there! The only thing saving that malt space is the current terrible exchange rate

Are there any liquid yeasts that you can't get over here? That would be a very small addition

I have seen people mentioning Brew UK being willing to add specific orders for yeast to their bulk orders with the main suppliers so probably not worth it but I am thinking ahead for the next time Image
