I would have to agree with this one!!! :(

Worst commercial beer I've ever had BY FAR is Rickard's White. Had it on tap at a local bar once, can't even describe the flavor, but I would have to say it tasted "chemical" like. BLAH! Plus it was 5 bucks a pint :mad:

The biggest issue I have with Fedex is that you pay for shipping, pay for taxes and duties when it shows up (Canada) and the a few weeks later I get this bill in the mail for handling and brokerage fees. This is the reason I don't use Fedex anymore.
