Guadalajara Airport

I know you can buy bottles of tequila after the security check point and bring it on board the plane, but is it still allowed to bring bottles purchased outside the airport and get them through security, or is it like everywhere else and "NO" liquids are allowed through security.

Has anyone tried shipping any bottles back?

You'll have no luck bringing any bottles through security. Only way is to pack the tequila in your luggage. And plan ahead, take some clear plastic bags (and tape) to wrap around the bottles just in case they leak. I would also recommend some bubble wrap to help cushion the blows your suitcase will take.

Shipping, they can't legally ship spirits to anyone except a licensed importer or spirits broker. And that brand must already have the necessary clearance into the US, from the FDA, etc.

Yeah, I have not been there in awhile and I was afraid of that. I too am pretty good at packing the suit case with plenty of bubble wrapp, zip locks and tape. I was wondering if maybe you could box your own "Collector Bottles" and ship them back UPS or something.

There are allot of shops past security you will find some good deals on JCRF 2.5L for around $185 I think, HSS for $170-185ish, 1921, etc. I think you are better off to buy from the actual duty free, there are other private shops and I have a feeling that they give you the bottles right away which means you could loose them boarding the plane. As well if you have a connecting flight in USA you will need to be able to get at your checked luggage to pack your bottle(s). A hard sided suit case and lots of bubble wrap..... good luck.

I packed the tequila in my check in luggage. I dont know how Id feel about shipping from Mexico. Thats quite a trip for a bottle. Anything could happen on the way!
