Fellowship of the Drink IV: I'm out of Lord of the Rings Puns

[k1ngl1ves]

I'm surprised they overlooked the duct tape. My fedex complains about that, so I have to use the clear tape....

 

[RevKev]

Haha if I can find a picture you would laugh at what I have sent before. I had red translucent "FRAGILE" tape and I have wrapped the entire box in a layer wallpapering it

 

[Scturo]

I always worry after I ship. Especially if I didn't like the drop off persons attitude. Will it get smashed? Stolen? Lost? Fingers crossed this week as usual.

 

[RevKev]

I just had a young kid instead of the guy who looked older than my grandma. She was 99, looked 70, and it should get to its destination in Ohio on Wednesday. Sending good juju to everyone, hope you don't have my issues

Fedex is ok in my book. I shipped a bunch of beer home from CA when I was there for work. A bottle broke in one of the boxes and the glass must have cut the bag I wrapped it in. Someone at fedex opened it, saw that it was all beer, removed the broken contents, and then repackaged the rest and delivered. When I saw the second box had been delayed I just assumed I'd never see it again.

I do understand their disapproval of duck tape. As awesome as it is on other things, it just never works as well on cardboard for some reason.

Well, I got my box out to get ready for packing (Glass arrives tomorrow) and I discovered I actually had 2 more spots for bottles, so someone is going to get extra beer!

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

FedEx dbag refused to ship my package bc the top has a slight curve due to me stuffing the box and "We can't ship this without repacking it, the way we ship it is putting it on pallets and with the slight curve we just can't"

Never ever have I had that issue. Does that not look flat??

The trick is to become best buds with your shipping dude. I supply brew to mine, no problems ever.

Lucky bastard... Oh, wait...

 

[Homercidal]

Lucky bastard... Oh, wait...

Too bad this year's KBS isn't out yet.

 

[mattv21]

Hell, my package has a bigger bulge than that.

*gigglesnort*

 

[PaulR]

Too bad this year's KBS isn't out yet.

So you will just have to send me last years? I don't mind "old beer", lol

Guess I should crack a beer when opening the box?

Cracking a beer is always a good idea, [emoji6]

 

[SandstoneCityBrew]

Shipped out to @afro_lou today.

 

[RevKev]

Well... Probably. I definitely did not use as much tape as last time...

Speak the truth!! The truth is out there

 

[JayDog]

Well work took me out of town at the last minute, so I wasn't able to get the box out to @thorrak. But I did send some goodies from DC to hold him over until I get home Thursday.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

I hope Rev works out to lift the box..keep finding add-ons..will try to get in one box. And we're not talking about decals..

 

[JDXX1971]

I have beer boxed up for @tlucarelli But I ran out of packing tape so it will have to wait another day. I did manage to fit a home brew in the box though!! Was the last of the first beer I ever bottled and one of my first brews (from just a couple months ago)

 

[RevKev]

I hope Rev works out to lift the box..keep finding add-ons..will try to get in one box. And we're not talking about decals..

Geeze don't spoil me I'm not worth it! Hahah I have been known to do the 16oz curls and I have a bad back from wrestling, sprained ankle I keep reinjuring and have dislocated a shoulder or two. Soooo

Did I mention I'm only 23? I'm excited though

 

[afro_lou]

Shipped out to @afro_lou today.

Can't wait!
I also shipped @homercidal's box today, and also had some extra space to fill...

Semi-unrelated:

So happy to have this glass again, and thanks to @EcuPirate07 for the delicious liquid to fill it with!

Well, in that case...

 

[GaBrewZoo]

PianoMan cannot host the next round due to scheduling conflicts, would anybody like to volunteer to run round 5? I know this round isn't over, but I thought I would throw it out there so we don't wait till the last minute.

 

[mattv21]

Box shipped out to @SandstoneCityBrew today. Cheers!

I'll volunteer if no one else insists upon doing it.

 

[GaBrewZoo]

Mine is all boxed up except for one. I accidently drank one of the beers by accident and have to replace it with a fresh one. Sorry Jerbrew, it will be in the mail tomorrow or Thursday at the latest.

 

[GaBrewZoo]

I'll volunteer if no one else insists upon doing it.

It looks like we have a volunteer already. I'll PM you with the details if nobody has an objection.

@Scturo your box will be going out tomorrow morning. I was ready to ship today but it sounded to liquidy (if that's a word). So I stopped at Wally World and grabbed a noise maker!
