Ship a local package from YYZ?
 
Flying out of T1 today, and have a nice bottle of Scotch I'd like to send to someone here in town. Staying at a hotel close to the airport (don't have car, nor really any time, to to anywhere).
Is there a Canada Post/FedEx/etc. at YYZ where I can prep and send shipment from??

Maybe at security screening, where they make arrangements to ship stuff instead of confiscating banned items?

Not sure if liquids can be shipped anymore.

There's a travel supply store before security that we used to send nail scissors last year. They sell materials for shipping and arrange for it - but their prices are very high.

I would ask the front desk at the hotel if they could do it for you. They would probably charge a bit of a premium but it's trade off for the hassel.

Probably a taxi, bicycle courier or similar service would do the trick. (just for future reference - I know this comes too late for you, sorry)
