It's the ones they have been shipping their 3 bottle packs. I'm pretty sure they are a cardboard box with a foam insert. The Wine luggage cases are a soft sided roller case, not sure if those have a 12 shipper already in them but those are 99€.

Order online from Lazenne to your hotel room - LuxWanderer may be able to hook up a discount code for you. In addition to the Cantillon branded wine checks, they sell Styron shippers in 6/12s.
A 6 shipper from them with 5x75s and 1x37.5 will be around €40 to ship to the US - you may want to wrap their boxes in brown paper though as they have pictures of wine bottles on (it's not subtle).

My man... thanks for the help. Will look into that.

Thanks guys, this is helping my buddy who leaves on monday doing the same exact thing.

I've just flipped the boxes inside out so the graphics were not showing on the outside of the box....worked perfectly.

Also just wanted to say that I've shipped multiple boxes back home on multiple trips to Belgium, and now that 3F offers the shipping service via BIAB, I would definitely just use that. By the time you spend money on packaging supplies and all the time making sure everything is packaged correctly, you're probably not spending too much of a premium to hav BIAB/3F to the leg-work for you.

Definitely would jump on this if I was able to make the trip to 3F but logistically it doesn't appear feasible right now. Still evaluating overall plans...

Where will you be? It's an easy train ride from Brussels and then a 5ish min. walk. (800m)

Most recent Golden Blend and A&G on Finest Belgian Beers. Not cheap.

So I just signed up at Beergium and they were kind enough to send me my username AND password via email.

Sweet Jesus, tweeting it wasn't available? I realize most web shops aren't exactly tech savvy, but that's just bad.

As a web developer their entire storefront is a nightmare, I had to rage quit.

Only there Saturday evening/Sunday/Monday morning with a flight monday afternoon. With LoD closed Sunday that may be tough to negotiate on Monday and make the flight...

As some with a BA in finance, the exchange rate is the only redeeming quality.

I'm more impressed with the covfefe.

Only Antwerp, but if you go to 3F you can buy a bunch of 3F bottles there and they'll send it on to BiaB for you to get it shipped.

Can you explain a bit further on how this works? I just show up, buy a bunch of bottles, give them my address and it's taken care of? Do they quote me and I pay them, or is that via BiaB?

Found these at a store down the road from the base. Happy to C+S for anyone needing a Tilquin tumbler.

I've never seen them for sale online unfortunately, did Tilquin take them down when they took the beer down?

I just did it at Etre a few weeks ago. You buy bottles and bring your own, and they take care of it for you. I think they charged an extra 20 euro service fee for the two boxes that had bottles I didn't buy there.
They keep desirable bottles off the online store that you can buy there and add to your box so you can have a maxed out box.

 

[Shakedwnst]

We're talking about buying the bottles at 3F and having them sent by BiaB, but it sounds like you don't actually have to go to BiaB like you went to etre....

At least I hope that's what I find out tomorrow. Otherwise that onsite bottle list will keep me amused
