Got it!Email just went out with shipping info… please check your email and PM me if you didn’t get it.
Well, I'm a cheapskate as you can tell from my collection of boxes and roll of bubble wrap. I wrap each bottle with double thickness bubble wrap. Place 3 bottles in a box just big enough to hold all 3, and then stuff in more bubble wrap. Then seal the box with packing tape, on all edges. Other folks go much further.I've never shipped beers before. Any recommendations would be welcomed...box size, packaging , etc. I'm using 12 oz long neck bottles. TIA
Thanks for reminding me. This is good information.original post of this thread
@Beekeeper I got mine too. Label looks great. Love the QR code, might steal idea for my label.Nice Job on the label and shipping container @Beekeeper !!!
Got my bottles today.
I also either vac seal or plastic baggie each bottle or the interior of each box. If a bottle breaks, sometimes carriers won't deliver.Well, I'm a cheapskate as you can tell from my collection of boxes and roll of bubble wrap. I wrap each bottle with double thickness bubble wrap.

The big deal, of course, is shipping. I have started using Shippo, which is cheaper than going straight to FedEx, etc. In fact, Shippo is just a label company - the packages are handled by FedEx, etc. but it is cheaper.
Last point, whoever you use to ship, if asked about the contents, do not say it's beer. The common thing is to say something like "yeast samples".
Glad to learn that they arrived intact.Got the Abbey Weizen today from @Beekeeper . One is in the fridge for tomorrow.

I vac seal now after a few broken ones a few years agoI also either vac seal or plastic baggie each bottle or the interior of each box. If a bottle breaks, sometimes carriers won't deliver.
I'm on PTO for Thanksgiving week so I'll be packaging then.I have always shipped after Thanksgiving, so overachievers don't get disappointed.
This is a great idea. I may wait to ship until after I receive everyone's beers so I can incorporate best practices.I vac seal now after a few broken ones a few years ago
Ok, SWMBO said I must send out the beers this weekI'm on PTO for Thanksgiving week so I'll be packaging then.
Maybe SWMBO has other plans for your planned vacation days.Ok, SWMBO said I must send out the beers this week
