Swap-O-Rama #4, Bomb's Away!!

[blizzard]

And one tip that I think is understated...put all of it in a garbage bag. This way if something does break, its less likely to leak and get returned.

This. Great tips from everyone, but if you do have some leakage, you do not want UPS/FedEx to see it.

Ive been using those thick 55 gallon garbage bags to line the whole box. When done packing I tie a not.

Then again....pack well, make sure there is no glass on glass action and nothing shifts after you fill it. Aka, pack it, shake it. If it shifts, add more packaging material. Rinse, repeat. If this is done, the garbage bag wont need to be relied upon.

The mostly foolproof option is buying one of those Styrofoam bottle shippers.

I get sheets of thermal vinyl bubblewrap at work, Thick coating on both sides of the bubbles it self.
That with packaging peanuts really help for a shiftless package.

I have been meaning to try out one of those wine shippers though!
Should have my package out tuesday!

Brewery chotchkies and 104 oz of brew ready. One more stop today, and she goes out Monday with some KILLER extras. Hope my guy likes double ipas in cans (hint hint)

Is it the U-haul wine bottle shipper? Have you used that before?

Not sure, I called a local beer/wine shop and they are holding one for me. Its only $10 for the box/foam.

Just sippin on a Double Jack.

Oh look: it's in a bomber. Hope seekabrew's right and FSW doesn't distribute to my recipient's state!

I can confirm that they do not distribute to CT.

Spent the night packing up this beast. Double boxed it, so its not quite as large a stash as it might seem when it shows up on someone's doorstep. Should go out on Monday although I don't think FedEx picks up at our building until later in the day, so may not have tracking number until Tuesday morning.

 

[bcros80]

This monster is all packed up with New England goods (the geographical area and the brewery). Shipping out tomorrow right after work!

 

[Indytruks138]

Nebco going out in the local trade, I like it!

 

[BeerMeDuffMan]

Only a few days left until the first boxes start arriving...I feel like a kid come Christmas time!

 

[two_hearted]

Can't wait to pack mine up tonight!

 

[blizzard]

Big box o' colorado goodies going out today...

 

[Indytruks138]

Does anyone on here do any BIF's on beer advocate? I like their hints and hauls threads. I know so far we've kept it a complete mystery, but it may be fun to give obscure hints as to who we are sending to and make it a more involved game. Just a thought, its up to TheMan as this is his show, just wanted to throw it out there.

 

[BeerMeDuffMan]

I already have a good idea as to who I'm sending mine to. I like the mystery of not knowing what to expect when I open the box, though.

 

[two_hearted]

I have no idea who my recipient is. I wonder if they've changed where they're really from in their profile to keep me guessing...

Oh wait, I just figured it out...

I suppose I can leave that up to you all. I know who is sending me beer haha, so hints and hauls style makes no difference to me.

The whole swaporama idea was basically taken from the hints and hauls bif. So if you guys want to include hints, voice your opinion and if enough want it, we will ho with it.

I like the complete surprise but I'm down for whatever.
