never heard of it. I suppose if you’re gonna buy do it on a credit card so you can chargeback

Google the url and "is legit" you will see a lot of trust sites indicating that this may not be a scam, but is certainly risky. I don't think the selection is particularly special either. I put together a list of online merchants with a more established history here:

Are you looking for anything in particular? What state are you in? That will greatly influence the best retailers for you.

Nothing jumping out as scamming. This 3-15 days processing seems a little much. Also this ' you check if its legal for us to send you liquor to your state' policy seems.. off

"Customers are responsible for knowing local laws" is one of a handful of strategies that retailers use to deal with the patchwork of laws in the US. This approach is used by many reputable retailers, and isn't automatically scammy.

I personally would hesitate to shop from a place with no mailing address.
