Oh I was actually going to send you a message and ask about that because I didn't see it in the picture haha. Glad you found it!

 

[NormPeterson]

Hmm, are the Goose Island beers like Sophie and Matilda easy to get outside of the midwest? I'm sure honkers and 312 are everywhere, but how about better beers?

Honkers, 312, and IPA here as well (not
Listed as limited).

So apparently Fedex damaged my package when it was supposed to be delivered today and they are sending it back to me. Sorry to my recipient, Ill replace whatever needs it and try to throw something else in for the wait.

 

[bcros80]

Ouch. That blows

Sucks man. This makes me nervous. I always wait on pins and needles when I have a package en route...

Mine is set for delivery tomorrow.

 

[Canti4341]

Yeah - kind of ruined my day. But whats done is done. I'll fix it, double box it and resend asap.

 

[absoluthamm]

Yea, I've had one can blow out on me before(I think it was to Inity) but he was still able to drink most of it. I try packing really careful but all it takes is a driver/sorter/etc that is having a bad day or just doesn't give a crap that can screw that up.

Once had a package that was coming to me that was delivered to the completely wrong address, not even close, and when the UPS driver went back to get it it was no where to be found. Funny thing is that in that part of town, I guarantee they didn't know a thing about the beers that were in there as in that area Bud Light is considered premium... But UPS refunded and he was able to reship.

I had that happen on the first round. The last two times I've bought used wine shipping boxes like these for about $5 from my local bottle shop. They hold up really well and you can fit a can with a 12 oz bottle in each slot or 1 bomber.

Hmm, I have a bunch of those around, but had ruled them out because 12 slots wasn't going to be enough. Wonder if i should repack....

You should put every bottle in a zip lock bag so that if one breaks it can contain the liquid and the shipper won't return it to the sender. That way you only need to re-ship what broke.
I even put a contractor heavy duty trash bag around everyone to further catch any leaks.

 

[Canti4341]

They were wrapped in bubble wrap and then put in UPS bubble wrap envelopes - which are not leak proof. Lesson learned.

 

[BeerMeDuffMan]

Think its completely random or are there odds of something breaking in any situation? Where are our math majors? Lol

Attention recipient, your package is 13.3 miles from your house but being delivered tomorrow. It looks like it has to cross a bridge to get there.

Is it near a train station in a major metropolitan area?

 

[BeerMeDuffMan]

Lol let's plenty 20 questions about boxes. I'm on a train heading back home and got two hours to kill. Totally wish I hit that bar next to the station prior to boarding.

Don't all major metropolitan areas have train stations? In that case yes.

 

[BeerMeDuffMan]

Hmm touché. Let's narrow it down to a train station named after the street on which its located. Example being 30th street station?

 

[SavoryChef]

No, no names like that.
