Fellowship of the Drink XII: The Bad News Beers

Their lineup Friday was sick. That said my Boston days are likely over...

 

[Redtab78]

@fourfarthing did you receive the package?

 

[fourfarthing]

Not yet sir.

“The fact that I’m giving you this particular beer means ________________________”

... more than you will ever know



Seriously though! I love my wife and all, but we’re talking Monkish here... [emoji848]

 

[TwistedGray]

We'll, my account certainly isn't flagged. I talked with another shipment, and it made it to the destination... Presumably intact.

 

[afro_lou]

Mine showed up intact today! Pictures incoming... [emoji16]

Then give Doug a call and let’s see what’s up!

 

[afro_lou]

Quite possibly the fastest I’ve ever shipped an FOTD offer! [emoji23]

@jekeane your box is on the way!

 

[Redtab78]

I just hope all mine make it....2 of the 3 i sent showed a delivery of yesterday but never made it, and now say "no delivery information is available"

 

[TwistedGray]

Dislike ^

That’s happening to me, a lot, too. I think there are some weather issues. I’ve had 4 of 5 shipments delayed in the last few days with that same statement. Two of them have been delivered now.

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Well hello!

Was running around doing errands and rushing to hit the golf course when I noticed this on my porch. Everything arrived safely and at least one will take a bullet after returning from a hot day on the course

Thanks @Br3w4u !!!!

I actually just shipped something to pianoman. 3 day ground but he said it wouldn't arrive til Friday. Altho the shipping order said wed. However I've found the ups people at Staples driving me to drink. Yea that's it.

Mine made it!! Glad I'm the 33%

We send a lot of stuff with UPS from work, I mean A LOT. I spot checked a handful last week and nearly all of them have been delayed.

I’d go ahead and rule out a mass crackdown. I’d be willing to bet your stuff is delivered within a few days. Something is up with UPS, either a glitch in their scheduling system or this weather event kicked them a little harder than they projected.

I ship a tiny amount of stuff, but mixed USPS and FedEx. Everything was delayed this weekend. Definitely going with weather delays.

I think so, as well. One of mine actually said, “Severe weather has caused a delay, delivery information not available.”

To be fair, another one said something about a trailer.

Apologies but one picture does not do justice the bomb that was left on my door step today.

The money shot! Took 4 pictures. None do it justice. Even had to switch to panoramic picture just to rock it out right!!

I see a chili bomb in there.

 

[RevKev]

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

Well now. I would welcome that opportunity to bitch out FedEx...

For losing like two boxes of beer over the last few trades, most definitely! Lol, and I think they made one member go pick up one damaged box of beer and gave him ****. I'll rip into Doug, don't worry!

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Forward him to a 5 second loop of really bad Muzak followed by "Please stay on the line. You're call is very important to me. I'll answer your call as soon as possible. Please hold."

 

[Redtab78]

Im seeing some delivers today!

 

[baldm79]

Box arrived from @CTownBrewer today..
Sadly I’m volunteering until 4 so I haven’t been home to open it!

 

[Br3w4u]

I just got a call from my wife. She says a box of beer is waiting for me at home and everything arrived safely!

 

[jimyson]

Apologies for all that I owe a box to. I’ll be packing tonight.

 

[baldm79]

That glass!!

 

[Redtab78]

@wstbrewing @fourfarthing you have packages at your doorsteps!

 

[RevKev]

Sending this porch bomb to myself.. Then I'll have my package off next week, it's my last night in Cali today. I don't even wanna think about how expensive it'll be to ship this packed 16x16x16 to the East Coast

 

[Boomer]

Work accounts - gotta love em. I just sent a 18 x 15 x 14 weighing 27lbs to @jerbrew for $8. It’ll be there Friday.
