Its funny you say that, because i've actually been so jacked up about a package that i've gone to my neighbors stoop and checked if it was my package delivered to the wrong house.

Its ok, yesterday I was working from home the second half of the day and the doorbell ring, I knew it was my delivery, I was so excited when I opened the door to find it was a delivery, but I was sad when I found it was just golf balls, not a box o beer.
 
You guys make me laugh. I feel the same way. I'm anxiously awaiting mine too. I love seeing everyone elses pics though.

I dropped my package off today at Fed Ex. I have to say, even though I packed that thing to outlast WWIII, I'm still nervous about breakage. The person that gets mine is going to probably think I'm crazy. But, if it makes it there in one piece, I'm comfortable with that.

The funniest thing is that I had written a long note about what I chose and about 3 seconds after it was sealed up, I realized that I forgot to actually put the note in the F'ing box. Lol.
 
arghhhhhhh....Nobody confirmed the package from me yet...WTH is going on? ;) The suspension is killing me. The package shows delivered yesterday around noon and nobody claimed it yet?

Hopefully it's not in Phoenixville! I have checked daily and have found nothing! The suspense is killing me...
 
Thanks again indytruks!

Same here on forgetting to put in the note......and the 2 homebrew bottles in the fridge. Too dang focused on the packing and forgot em
 
And I just checked the latest UPS update......double boxed tank package still shows on track to deliver to someone just west of the Mississippi river tomorrow.
 
Haven't seen a post of it yet, but it shows Jeepguy's box got delivered today.

Props to Jeepguy! His box broke, and he still got a new one delivered faster than some of you schmuks shipped! lol
 
Also, an update:

24 Total

12 Delivered
2 due on 8/8/13
2 due on 8/9/13

6 status unknown. (Some waiting for shipments to land, some busted boxes, and a couple I just have no clue on...)

So far so good guys!
 
Well I re bought today and will reship by Friday. I apologize to my recipient. I tried to get it to its destination early but apparently I didn't bomb proof the box good enough

No apologies necessary. Boxes can get broken. As long as you get one to him thats really what matters

Quite frankly, I'm surprised mine made it ok. With all of the tragedy, I was sure mine was next. I did use a can of great stuff I had lying around; maybe that was the ticket?!
 
Trying my first Resin that I got in this trade. Delicious. Thanks mikeysab!

Need to get my hands on some of the other Sixpoint beers.
 
Sweet, man, glad you like it. I have pretty good sixpoint access if you ever wanna do a swap. I could swear theres a new mad scientist coming very soon. Gotta look into that.
 
Damn UPS guy delivered another non beer package today. I'm,starting to think they are messing with me.

I tried sweet action one time. The next trip to the liquor store involved the purchase of every shelf beer they make

Hmmmmm....the Great Stuff just got the wheels turning on how to pack this bad boy

I considered it as well. Plus all the fun for the recipient to get it all out.

But I just ended up using some 3/4 inch expanded foam board to line all six sides of the box.
 
If you use great stuff put each beer in its own bag or you'll never get it off the bottles and labels. People have used to to ship to homebrew competitions and its rough.
