22oz Bomber! I was blown away. They had to have labeled it wrong. I almost feel like a thief

edit: do they sell them in 12 oz too? I've never seen those here.

Mmmm. I love that beer! !! We get it for about 5 bucks here.. super score man! Actually drinking the hop stoopid now! One o me favorite brwerys

 

[tripplehazzard]

Nice score man. Mark makes great beer. Even Gabe says so and that guy will let ya know if he doesn't like them!

btw I am pretty sure Remmy can get the lucky 13 in his parts

I really liked the hop swarm! Was that still a partial mash brew? I noticed you moved to all grain recently

I liked it a lot! Can't wait for you to try some of mine. Just tried my ipa after a week in the bottle.( same I sent you). And the carbonation us there. But the yeast is not settled yet. Actually my first ipa. Live your labels BTW. :tanked:

Someone from PA on the 1st trade?

Ironically they were both from PA but different people. It was great that the swaps had different criteria so it didn't lend to the possibility of duplicates.

Sweet! I love can style glasses.

I knew I seen that box somewhere when I flung open the porch door. As soon as I seen that Audi symbol I had a chuckle. I instantly thought of the picture of that beast on top of your vehicle.

You will see it again too, I will send it out for a next big trade! :rockin:

At least it gets around I'm about to send another monster to Pennsylvania

No problem man. Enjoy them.
I tried to put together a good variety of stuff for you. Those two stouts I sent are pretty dang good in my opinion. The Double Brown Stout is more of a Baltic porter style and the Buried Hatchet has a nice roastiness to it.

Edit: I just remembered about the Santa Fe Java Stout. That stuff is like coffee in a can with a touch of beer. Delicious!

What do these packages usually run you guys in shipping on average? Or to make it easier whats the least you paid and the most you paid? examples being an average sized 120 oz of beer package to a neighboring state...or a big monster with a bunch of bombers across the coast? Just looking to get an idea since i hope to start trading soon! :rockin::rockin:

Here's an example. Hope it helps.
The above package that I sent to FermentNEthinG weighed 21 lbs, measured 27x15x12 and was shipped from Texas to New York. With my FedEx account it was 16.19 for shipping.
Best advice is to setup a FedEx account online. It's free and you start saving on shipping right away. If you ship through a FedEx/Kinkos or FedEx Office location you could pay a couple dollars to ten dollars more. And if you go to just a mom and pop shipping store,(the ones that do FedEx, UPS, etc.) you could even pay double. Someone from FedEx just recently told me that there's no cap on the amount those places can charge you over the actual shipping price. And I've seen it first hand by calling around checking prices.

My experience using UPS has been about $10 on the low end (a few bottles) up to $30 for a big one going almost to the west coast.

I know you can save a bunch using USPS, but haven't used them since as bad a UPS can be, for me the USPS drivers are even worse in care of packages.

 

[Dave37]

Wow ok thanks guys I really appreciate it. I hope my next post on the thread will be more on topic. I.e a picture of some awesome brew that was delivered to my door. Possibly from one of you fine gents. :rockin:

Cheers.

Wesley, are you saying if I print my mailing label online and tape it to my box, and drop it off at a FedEx/Kinkos that it will be less than if I take my box to FedEx/Kinkos and have them print the label?

thats exactly right!

Yes. As long as you set up an account on the FedEx website. I think you start out with a 16% discount, but as you ship more it gets to be a greater discount.

Yup I've paid anywhere from $10 to $35. I do like to ship USPS large flat rate boxes when possible (about $15) so that the shipment doesn't take so long! I have had pretty good luck with them so far usually you can fit 8-10 beers in them including 2-3 bombers. One usps that I shipped to MTate37 broke or was leaking. Also one that I sent to Mcbaumannerb via UPS broke (hole in the can somehow). But 95% + have survived so that's pretty good. I've also received 2 broken ones myself (one was a sour). Most of the time there are no issues though.
