How was that only (yes, yes, I know) $219?

That's what I was thinking. Given the price of their other items, I think there was supposed to be a zero somewhere in between the 2 and the 9.

Boon's Vat Geuze Box is up on BIAB if anyone else is interested.

Thanks, but not sure if they would really send to the US. I have a cart full of 8 bottles and it's telling me shipping is 7 euro. Something isn't right here...

EDIT - I reached out to them on FB to see what the deal is. Will keep everyone posted.

 

[2plums4one]

shipping is 6.99 euro from overseas? . I emailed them.

 

[MikeG1]

They don't normally ship to the US but they are willing to work something out, they told me. I'm talking to them on FB right now

https://www.beergium.com/en/ has the same stuff and they do ship to America. I've used them a bunch of times. They recently (might still) have CFH, American Solera, etc...

I ordered 11 3F OG's from them in July, but only 4 bottles arrived. The box had breakage and was destroyed. Gotta hand it to USPS for calling me to pick up the 4 survivors. They gave me the bottles in return for the usual lecture about alcohol shipments being illegal. The Beergium guys offered to ship a replacement box when they get 3F OG back in stock, which is a nice thing to do.

I've never had any breakage issues with Beergium yet (thankfully). Hoping their packaging hasn't fallen off - it was excellent when I ordered about 7 months ago.

That said, I shipped a Fou Foune in a ******* styro shipper to Chicago a while back and somehow it got "Damaged and destroyed" by UPS.

Destroyed in a lambic loving UPS person's belly.

Was weird that they refunded me my claim without asking any questions. I told them I sent a hand made gift that I had no receipt for and they said "ok." That has NEVER happened to me before when I've had breakage.

Where the **** have I been that webshops in euroland are offering CFH for ~$30 and ive yet to try this **** despite having it as a "want" for the past 9 years.

I've never lost a box through breakage (only customs issues) until recently, I submitted the claim but they specifically said "4 BOTTLES OF BEER" in the letter I got. I probably shouldn't get my hopes up I'm guessing?

I've never had success with beer breaking except that Fou Foune instance above. Fed Ex has always insisted on a receipt. Good luck but I have a feeling you're SOL

I hve got a claim for the max (100 plus the shipping cost) from fedex with zero receipts.

Same.

 

[mjohnson171]

Only time I had a successful FedEx claim was when my box was out of delivery on truck and the truck caught fire and burned up. They had no way to prove contents of any box, so automatic reimbursement with no need proof of contents!

Cantillon packages shipping this week. Just got a notification that my La Vie and Menu bottles were processed thru bpost.

So they never sent you anything at all, just a notice that it was destroyed?

So much this. A few yrs back a friend picked me up 6 golden blends that were collecting dust on shelves in chicago...box was shipped with a backup label inside and if memory serves, tracking number was written on the outside of the box. I received some sort of notification from fedex about it being damaged and destroyed and in an effort to see what happened and if anything was salvageable I worked my way through people on the phone until I actually got someone in the warehouse who marked the shipment damaged. That person told me that every day they get a bunch of loose labels and my label was a loose label with no box. This was really odd to me since I was told that the label was taped directly to the box and not in one of those sleeves. The person at fedex offered to look over the boxes that they had received that were without label to see if they could find my box since the number was on the side and I think there were other distinguishable visual characteristics with the box. Nothing came up, but I was told that they do eventually open the boxes without labels and if a label is inside, they'll pack it back and send it on...but I should still file a claim. Shipper was awesome and had a receipt for the goandpickitupforme...no questions, no hassal, full refund up to the $100 insured (receipt was for more, but wasn't insured for more)...and I never saw the "yeast samples" that were lost.

Did you end up placing an order then? I emailed, but no response.

They got back to me that they actually cannot ship to the U.S. Sorry, should have added that yesterday.

So the dollar keeps getting weaker. BiaB sent me a 5% off code, but with the current exchange rate compared to a year ago I'm not saving anything

Yeah, I'm going in December and not thrilled about the exchange.

Aren't you still saving 5%?

 

[Gaseous Clay]

Aren't you still saving 5%?

Not if the poor exchange rate is causing the overall price to increase by 5% or more before the discount
