How are you selecting the order in which these are shipped? Is there anyway I can be in the next "batch"? I have a Pecan Porter taking up carboy space and I would love to get it into a keg for some more conditioning time. Pretty please?

I made an excel spread sheet and have it sorted by alphabet.

I then go out and see what boxes I have to work with, and check my spread sheet to see who to ship to.

Kevin I might have a 2fer box I can get yours out today let me go check.

EDIT: kevin your kegs are shipping today

Thanks again for all this work flomaster I am hoping shipping won't be much from you to central cali and to a commercial address but let me know if a few extra bucks will help.
 
so I went out in search for boxes tonight..

I went to the following: Alco, Autozone, McDonalds, Dollar Tree, liquor barn (came home with a sixer of Kilt Lifter) , Safeway...

no one had boxes big enough for cornies.

I did find a 3 cony box and a 2 corny box in my garage. I'll head over to walmart tomorrow at lunch and see what they have.

If you get boxes occasionally from work please feel free to wait to send mine. I'm sure others are in the same boat as me. Maybe you can mark me down on the spreadsheet as being able to wait until a box arrives along with all others that don't mind waiting. I'd hate for you to spend anymore time searching for boxes.
 
we get UPS inbound daily and it all depends what we are ordering. also we share a warehouse with another company and I have robbed about half of the boxed I have used from them. there was an add on craigslist a local sports store gives away boxes and i called today and some one had cleaned him out last night. he told me to call back later in the week.

I can see how much it would run me to ship my boxes back once I get my kegs. I wonder if i'd have to box them...

Wolfy no need to send boxes back. these boxes aren't in the best of shape anyways seeing as they are second/third hand boxed to us.

Thanks Jason! I got my tracking number with an estimated delivery date of Tuesday! Should be able to get that porter into a keg so I can brew some more next weekend.

You da MAN!!!
 
so I came into a few more boxes. today I am shipping to

jeffmeh for 8
Barstar3 for 3
xerotime for 3

my lil civic couldn't haul anymore kegs.

I'm a little bummed, I thought these were supposed to be shipping in the order payment was received. Why is my name #18 on the list when I'm pretty sure I paid first?

John I'll get your 2 kegs out next, I asked if anyone needed these sooner than later, I have been shipping as I acquire boxes. certain boxes work for certain people.

example the boxes I found today housed 6 kegs, 3 kegs, 2 keg, and 3 kegs.
Jeffmeh ordered 8 kegs so he's getting two boxes containing 6 and 2.

sorry I didn't get your kegs shipped out mon or tues.

I can hold off on shipping to Jeffmeh and send you the two I had planned on shipping to him

It's all good man, I guess I was more just wondering the reasoning behind the order of shipment. I don't want to split up a guy's shipment, no worries.

yeah once i imported into excel and starting sorting stuff the "list" went out the window.

now shipping is dependent on what boxes I can get my hands on.

I read through a lot of the thread, but I'm still not certain.

Can we still order kegs from you, or is the group buy closed?
 
Jason I can wait a few days if someone else needs/wants their kegs quicker. Or if finding boxes is an issue. I don't have anything ready to go in them for a few weeks anyway... Also just wanted to say thanks for the time and effort on this project. If shipping is pricey lemme know and I can send a few extra $$
 
@ Klyph no more group buying going on. I can't do any more shipping out of my work using our ups discount. however I would not have a problem shipping some one else's ups account or freight company account if they ordered more than 50 kegs.

and paying ups.com shipping charges just doesn't make it worth it when you can get kegs from you LHBS for the same if not cheaper.

this really made me laugh. Thanks. Jason-- you are too nice to Mr. I read through a lot of the thread, but I'm still not certain.
SOLD OUT! THERE WILL NOT BE A ROUND 3.
 
ok todays kegs have been boxed and are awaiting pickup by the UPS driver.

Jason... I wouldn't sweat getting things packed and shipped. Mother Nature is fighting you anyway.

My keg mad it to El Paso about 24 hours after you shipped it, and now it's stuck there because of bad weather. :D
