@JamesonFan who has their offer submitted?

 

[Scturo]

Just going off what he told me. I’m not a usps worker. So take it for what it’s worth ‍

In my experience, that’s not entirely true. A few years back I decided to sell off my comic book collection. I must have sent a hundred boxes through my local post office. I never told them what I was shipping, only that it was paper goods. And one day one of the tellers recommended that I get insurance on a box because my shipment is valuable. So they definitely open boxes. I never lost a box from USPS until last week. So I can’t complain too much.

Sorry to stick my nose in here. Anyways, @PianoMan invite ted me to the Dougfest.

They may have looked into you because you aren’t licensed for retail?
I’m guessing warrants are granted by a postmaster or something so probably not so hard to come by if anything is deemed potentially suspicious. I guess maybe saying “paper goods” was not convincing enough for somebody.

So to answer the age old question "What happens when a beer bottle busts in a USPS shipment?"....

Your box showed up via mail lady with a Hazmat tag and double crated/wrapped in a bag. Sorry we're in a hurry and didnt get a good picture of it. Stunk like all get out. Also the stout is only 1/4 full. It's the damn heat. It was probably 130F in the box.

 

[Scturo]

Wow, no freakin way! Only 4 bottles survived? It was as hot as hell that week I shipped. Anyways I would've replaced those bottles. So you got another box coming. I'm glad to see that the amber ale made it, I didn't have enough for the second box.

I'm guessing the BDSA is the culprit, I've have a couple of bottles bomb on me. Wonder how @GaBrewZoo's box is doing?

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

I only saw another in pieces. 5 total? I'll take a pic of the Hazmat tag. I was busting up so hard forgot how to operate a cell phone camara.

After my first incident, went to vacuum packing everything even tho that's not a guarantee neither.
