What came in the mail for you today?

[copper2hopper]

Yes. Planned on it for sure. Need to get me a mill

Temperature controller. Unfortunately, this fantastic Chinese company sent me a 12vDC model. Crap, now what? Get what you pay for I guess.

Current plan: Power inverter. Even if it runs off the computer power supply nearby, it'll work. You know, because all computers have a 12vdc cigarette lighter on the exterior of the chassis

 

[icebob]

not brew related but just got my asus taichi21 ultrabook laptop!

 

[Hello]

Yesterday...a replacement plastic big mouth bubbler that northern brewer sent after leaving a good review but noting thin sidewalls as being a point of curiousity/concern. They're a remarkable company.

Any old 12v wall wart you got lying around will do

8 vials of artisanal yeast from The Yeast Bay! This will be my first time using their yeasts, so I'm pretty excited! Cheers!

The wife's wine secondary carboy and a bottling wand for me. I don't normally bottle but it's nice to have a few bombers to take to a BBQ.

Nothing....not a damn thing!!! I'm waiting to make a brew before leaving town again and desperately need the order of hops. Oh well, I've got my fingers crossed for tomorrow.

Cheers,

A shirt that says:

Yeah I got a blender. It was suppose to be my kegs but FedEx delivered me the wrong box.
Imagine the guy thinking he is getting a blender and he gets beer kegs instead.

I have that blender in Black. I wouldn't give up a couple kegs for it but it's nice.

 

[wbarber69]

Yeah fedex is a piece of crap and I'm not afraid to call them and tell them that every chance I get

 

[teberle]

IPA glasses, pretty cool almost forces more beer in my mouth

not in the mail but from a friend of mine at work got me a really good deal on
50lb sacks of 2 row so I got 4 of them. Time to start brewing!!!

I'll take FedEx over UPS any day of the week. Lets just say their service and policies is reflected by the uniform colour. "We made you pay import duty and provincial taxes. Now you need to pay us $30 for the service of causing you that expense. Have a nice day." Get bent UPS.

On a happier note, 4 more kegs bringing my up to 6. That should keep things going for a while until I can justify the collar upgrade on the keezer. Always have something or another nearby and ready to drop in when a keg kicks.

Ups costs way less than fedex and they don't call me a moron and hang up on me when they lose my package and I call them looking for it. Ups doesn't waste days of my time flying my package from Ohio to Arkansas just to send it to Mississippi then Tennessee before finally bringing by train to new orleans and then driving it to Baton Rouge to end up giving it to the post office to deliver because they couldn't find my address on the map. No sorry I'll take Ups any day of the week. At least I don't have to put a giant sticker on my door telling them to just leave the package if I'm not here. And I can digitally sign for my packages from the app if they need a signature at no extra cost to me.

I agree. I cringe when I order online and see that the online shop uses fed ex. Ups manages to get my packages to my rural home no problem but fed ex almost always leaves them at the wrong address and then argues with me when I tell them I didnt receive the package.

I have to disagree completely. My last several orders from Amazon were shipped UPS & everyone was screwed up. On the last, they mysteriously sent my Next Day shipment via ground service!
Ultimately the Next Day pkg arrived ten days later & no attempt was made to even deliver it. They just sent it to their local station. No contact w/ me at all. I just let it sit until they returned it. Amazon had already resent via FEDEX which arrived on time!

Sounds like the shipper didn't put your full address on there. I work everyday and pretty much do 90% of my shopping online either through amazon or eBay or every now and then from another online shop or two. I have something coming at least 3 days out of each week. I'm never home and I live down an old dirt road that doesn't even exist on the map at the local planning board. At least half or more of those shipments come ups the rest usually usps. UPS never misses a beat. Unless they have a brand new driver, then they deliver it to my neighbors house (because you can't tell my house is there). My last 2 fedex packages were finally delivered by a guy wearing a fedex hat driving some old beat up panel van. They weren't even delivered on a fedex truck.

 

[wbarber69]

And never pay for next day shipping. Its a joke.

 

[DrunkleJon]

Weird. I have no issues with UPS or FedEx. Its the USPS who screws me. They have lost almost half of the packages that they were suppopsed to deliver. Makes me wonder how much other mail is being lost.

Don't get me started on usps. The point to point is fine. But our lazy ass mail lady won't get out the car. Sits 100 yards up the way where we can't even see her and honks the horn for 3 seconds and drives off. Or if it's raining just leaves a note in the box saying no one was home go get it at the PO. I actually had to call and complain once that I hadn't gotten even a piece of junk mail for 10 days. Miraculously around 7 o'clock that night i go to leave and notice so much mail sticking out of my box she had to put rubber band around my mailbox to fit it all in there. Personally I wish ups would take over the postal service. I've had my problems with all 3 but at least ups will use the same driver if they can to deliver all your packages.

Got some lingerie I ordered for a photo shoot a week from this coming Sunday. (No, I won't be wearing it... a model will. )

 

[Mad4sax]

My faucet, gas lines, beer lines and regulator!

Still have a blender instead of my kegs. FedEx "forgot" to put my kegs on the truck today.

 

[tripplehazzard]

2 oz Amarillo and 2oz citra for dry hopping.
