I’d think they would probably have your number if you have an account. That seems like if it was legitimate they would call you.

Linkedin has a Douglas Howard Senior Fraud Investigator... yikes keep us informed

 

[Boomer]

But I’m almost positive their fraud invesitgations are usually someone else trying to use your account.

 

[wstbrewing]

True, did you ship from somewhere far from where you usually do? Maybe out of state?

They have both my number and email.

Yup, he's been there for a few years. I checked it out, seems legit.

That's what I initially thought as well, but it did come overnight in a Fedex envelope. I haven't Googled the address, and I'm too lazy to do that right now because I'd have to go get the envelope from the recycling. That's a job for tomorrow.

Nope, just a box of beer out to NY.

This is just bizarre. You should really call Doug so the rest of us are informed. [emoji1]

Lol, yeah I'll get right on that. I will, however, take the letter down to Fedex once the package has been delivered to inquire, and I doubt anyone in the Fedex store will be useful. Perhaps I'll have them call Doug

 

[Redtab78]

Just deny deny deny...tell them you dont know anything about a box of beer, you were just doing someone else a favor and shipping it for them...

This is why i have my wife do the shipping, so im not seen on any video cameras and can deny that i ever shipped any such box

 

[Boomer]

They won’t deliver it if they know it’s beer. If it gets delivered and they start asking questions, tell them there are some local sodas that aren’t distributed in NY so you sent them to a buddy from your childhood who misses them. Then, RDWHAHB.

 

[Redtab78]

Like....faygo! Lmao

 

[Calaeb]

Dang I missed a good round, stupid work!

I’ve always been advised to write collectibles as the contents (if asked) and to say they are rare collectible beer cans/bottles. Not meant for drinking.

Not sure if that would really work, I haven’t had to try it out yet.

 

[EcuPirate07]

I always say it’s artisan hot sauce

 

[Boomer]

Snow globes.

Well, isn't this quite an interesting turn of events...

Newman!!!

Just ship by ups. They have no problem shipping beer. Otherwise say it's marinade. They're probably inquiring as to why you're constantly shipping to multiple states. Breaking bad across North America.

I don't think either have a problem with it until they do have a problem with it, lol.

 

[LoneTreeFarms]

I like your idea. Wait for the package to be delivered. Then see what the issue is

Good God! @fourfarthing dropped a porch bomb! Mending the porch as we speak!View attachment 574047

Hope you enjoy. Hold off on the homebrew. Not sure I approve of it yet.

 

[TwistedGray]

Exactly, let the evidence be gone before it could theoretically be held against you. AND if they do heist the beer I am not calling anyone!

Any chance you can ship all your beers out before they haul you off??

 

[baldm79]

I don’t think most UPS/Fedex employees are actively looking for people shipping some beer to other people who are of age. I think the law is there to prevent underage drinking and sale by unauthorized vendors..

Wholeheartedly agree

Artisanal vinegar from Brooklyn has always been my go to if necessary.

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Throw jamesonFan under the bus Tell them he told you to do it.

Wait, what? It's all good. I ship with UPS. Come and get me suckas.

You mean this isn’t an artisanal vinegar trade thread? I’m clearly on the wrong forum

The last package I sent out associated with this thread had zero beer in it. Just sayin.
