So we have a bunch of new interest this round. 4 people so far.
@MC82
@dpinette2
@jason613
@HopsNTails
By the rules, you need to be have been a member for 6 months and have 2 positive iTrader reviews or been here for 6 months (this time requirement can slide with a vouch) and have a FotD member vouch for you if you have no trader feedback.
I've seen a vouch for @MC82.
I'm looking for a vouch for the others?
@dpinette2 has 0 feedback and has been a member for less than 6 months.
@jason613 has 0 feedback and has been a member for 7 years.
@HopsNTails has 0 feedback and has been a member for less than 6 months.
Even if we cannot get a vouch, I would expect that the rules could potentially be adjusted if the 3 members listed above send their offer first and it is received prior to an offer being sent to them. There is a complication if one gets the other though. I would need agreement from the other FotD participants for this.
I'm just trying to make sure that nobody gets shafted here. We all know it happens from time to time. At the same time, it's good to see new activity.
Thoughts? Feel free to PM me with thoughts as well.

I'm good with sending my offer before receiving. That's how the ol lady prefers it too [emoji6]

I’d say most of us would be willing to send one beer to any person who does get shafted.

Thanks for volunteering.
Not guaranteeing it’ll be a good beer! But it will be beer
I will also pitch in with beers if anyone get screwed.
I’d pitch into the shafted fund, should that happen.

Seems like you guys are in. Welcome to FotD.
Please remember to not tell anyone what your offer is, stick to the limit for the offer (extras are a surprise when shipping), remember a non-beer brewery item, and have fun. This is a great group of people to trade with. Everyone wins here.

I might join this round just in the hopes of getting shafted so everyone has to ship me beer. Who's the real winner!!

That does seem like the best deal right now. Maybe I can cut a deal with one of them and ship them half the beers I receive!

Awesome! I followed the last round and reread the previous one. Seems like a great time!
I will not be a let down if I am able to participate and would be grateful to be included. I have never done a swap and look forward to this.

I'm beginning to like the idea of getting shafted...
This is not a site about swiping left or right kind sir.

Heading to Mexico this weekend. My offer is going to get interesting. Looks like they have a decent craft beer scene.

If I recall, either @jerbrew or @imasickboy brought some beers back from Mexico for one of the rounds.

Ah, I know someone in Guadalajara (wife is from there), and I could reach out for recommendations if you care.

That'd be great
I think I sent a Mexican beer out in the LOT thread once. Tijuana has some really great stuff, some really bad stuff too though.

Usually packed in the inside of fish.
Bwahahahahahaha
Fedex or UPS are the go-to shipping methods, and to a lesser extent USPS. Federal crime to ship alcohol which makes USPS scarier; however, I've been busted and received a handwritten note that they destroyed a beer box. When I got caught by Fedex they flagged my account, or at least I think they did. Anyways, one of those three is typical

Cans usually end up in a ziploc bag but first wrapped in bubble wrap.
Bottle typically get a band of tape around the cap but otherwise treated the same as cans.
Some people add pennies and other stuff to the package in order to mask the sound of liquid sloshing around.

Put everything in a zip loc bag!!!

And then put everything in a trash bag on top of everything, safety first

How often does Doug come away with these shipments? Should I hedge my bet and ship two smaller boxes rather than one larger box?
