Today I shipped out two packages that are going across the country. By shipping today it arrives on Friday and doesn't sit over the weekend. Well, today when I went to drop off the boxes the FedEx guy (not Doug) was picking up. I walked up to the back of the truck and said, "Can I give these to you since they are already paid?". He gladly took them and thanked me for saving him the trip to run into the store to get them.

I consider that a success! I think I am going to try and plan it like this moving forward with all of the issues I have seen lately. @jerbrew you should have your brews at your doorstep on Friday! Cheers!

Oh and I forgot to mention, the other package has some items in there similar to what @TwistedGray likes to ship. They are wrapped in reusable ice packs, so hopefully there are no surprises along the way. ;) Fingers crossed!

When I ship UPS I opt for pickup, and when I ship USPS I drop on the side counter and walk out headphones on. Can't hear, can't answer questions :)

I ship USPS primarily now because for a few bucks more it will arrive a few days earlier (priority shipping). Plus my note from USPS for alcohol policies was written in pencil meaning to me that they don't have a legit system for tracking these types of infractions. Fedex on the other hand...
 
Holy cow hoof hearted?!

The beer i shipped got delivered today and mine should be delivered around noon
 
I’m glad it arrived without damage. I hope you enjoy it.

I went back I cross referenced which one didn’t make it. Mandarin Chief wasn’t that great of a beer anyway. I mostly sent it for its political satire. I wonder if it exploded or did it get damaged?
