Lambic Discussion Thread

[Lupulin the 3rd]

So the rules state that the proxy must provide a copy of the ID of the purchaser. When I sent inquiries to both BIAB and Etre, they only said to provide the purchase ticket. Can I simply follow the proxy's instruction?

I got in to the page and a box was still available. The screen showed a spot to fill in my name and email address. Then there was a second section within that page that said "standard pricing 2" and had two more spots to fill in my first and last name. Filled that out again with my name and then checked the "agree to terms" box then clicked book it to move to the next screen and got kicked out.

Is there something else I should have filled out in the "standard pricing 2" box?

 

[matedog]

Sold out. Got to 30th too.

Last time Etre picked mine up I just provided the pdf.

I just happened to check facebook when it popped up so I got a set. I have never dealt with international shipping or proxies or anything like that. MikeG can you walk me through the process since you seem to be an expert? Or any other users? Tagging MikeG so hopefully you'll get a set as well.

bruh, easy peasy. [email protected]. Ask, nicely , that you'd like to take advantage of the Cantillon proxy, they will have you forward a copy of your ticket and ID to them, they will pick it up and you will get a paypal invoice for the total cost. Wait a week or so, then drink Lambic.

JEG can proxy. What a world.

 

[capnmike]

Got in queue after 11 mins and...

Oh well!

Exactly my plan.

 

[BadJustin]

Exactly my plan.

I mean BiaB will too but I have always used Jonathon at Etre and given the level of service I get from them he can happily have my money.

 

[daniel1]

Keep refreshing even if you see the sold out message. Just got through.

BiaB is better? I've done quarterly boxes with Etre several times (although with the new website my order history is uh, history) but never BiaB.

Refreshing, or waiting? I'm in the 300's in line but it specifically says not to refresh.

Once you get through the queue, it’ll say sold out. That’s when I refreshed.

If you get to the end and says "sold out" - refresh. some people have them in cart, which times out.

Does it include a coupon for 15% turning my Fou bottle into a lamp?

I think he meant etre is better, but I've never had any issues with the biab noodles.

 

[nothingisreal]

These guy's emails are gonna be back upped like crazy today.
Wish I could make a trip out of it and pick up the bottles....

 

[boogercrack]

that's how the > sign works yeah.


I've actually never had a pool noodle bottle break in like, 20 shipments, but of those 20 about 5 or 6 I had to pick up from the post office in crates since the boxes had exploded and the bottles and pool noodles were spilling into the floor of the warehouse.

I've not had great success with glasses from Etre though. Close to 60 or so etre boxes over the last 9 years or something

 

[loldor]

Yes. Don't refresh when you're in the queue. Do refresh when you've made it to the end but there are 0 boxes left. You get 15 minutes after getting to the front of the queue to complete your order. Due to people having troublle with credit cards, timing out and other reasons occasionally boxes get sent back to the queue.

This time the queue was way longer much faster than earlier today. Exciting times!

 

[IndianaJones]

Cantillon must be amazed at the sudden influx of spouses/brothers/fathers/grandmothers who love lambic

 

[MKtheGeneral]

Have any of you recently sent something via Bpost to the states? What were the costs and for what weight?

 

[2plums4one]

Were any of those during the hot summer or cold winter? I ship in spring and fall and haven't had any issues, so I'm just curious.

 

[Kraftster]

Anyone get the payment error after getting through the queue? I’m back in the queue and can only hope I’m in a payment queue since there were 215 remaining when I got through and started at 825 in queue after getting the error.

Wife snagged a box for me this afternoon.

I refreshed after I got to the end and got "The sale has been suspended". Fun times.

I got the same thing unfortunately

I went to a bpost a year ago to mail a 12shipper and it was $136 for 20.1kg if it had been 19.99999 it would’ve been like $100

I believe that’s the message you get when Cantillon has pulled the sale from billetweb. I expect you’d get the same message if you’d try to connect to that url now.

Right, I'm saying I missed out and am bummed out. I guess I have to trade for it like a pleb.
