FotD Secret Santa Beer Swap

[TwistedGray]

All packaged up. What are we supposed to do with tracking info? Do we just post pics when we get ours or do we wait?

@Thorrak

I think we wait until a particular minimum day then post freely...I think?

@Thorrak

Either post pics, or ping me tracking, or whatever. Doesn't really matter - we'll sort it out when we get close to the end of the window.

I got something from someone and I'm probably going to drink a lot of them tonight.

Pics please, I’m pretty sure once you get your gift, it’s ok yo let the rest of know what you got and from who. I’m dying to know, [emoji2]

so somebody broke the rules and shipped early!

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Yes. This trade is ruled void and has to ship again!!!

(Actually I posted that I was ok with getting it early)

 

[HopsNTails]

The thing is, it wasn’t a secret Santa gift. Just a box I told him he’d get months ago. I’m not shipping my secret Santa box out until next week! Happy new year

Also, @TheDudeLebowski isn’t my giftee for secret Santa. . . Or is he? I guess you’ll find out in a couple weeks

 

[fourfarthing]

I expect the shipping record, whatever it is, to be absolutely demolished this round.

I believe @PianoMan shipped like 50 lbs once.

 

[Thorrak]

Those bastards!

 

[Thorrak]

I believe @PianoMan shipped like 50 lbs once.

I’m assuming this meant speed, as I’ve definitely seen more than 128 fl. oz. shipped before.

I meant weight. Damn, 50?!

 

[HopsNTails]

I think it was 56lbs.

 

[Thorrak]

You people are the reason I drink. <3

Aaaah! I figured since it was sent out during this Secret Santa period that it was that. I'll take it and thanks again @HopsNTails for a great NYE gift!

So who is my SS???....

Yeah and 128 oz was only a recommendation.

 

[jimyson]

I think it was 56lbs.

Yeah, I’m certainly not beating that.

 

[imasickboy]

Yeah, I’m certainly not beating that.

Something for everyone to think about, is that UPS and FedEx are lowering their heavy package surcharge from 70 pounds to 50 pounds. It's a $24 extra fee on top of your regular shipping cost. If you're going to go big, split it up into multiple boxes.

USPS flat rate, multi box shipments work well. They're $20 each box, and you can fit a fair bit in there.

It’s true! I was the lucky recipient. I felt obliged to send a nice thank you box!!

 

[SailorJerry]

Glad I jumped on and looked at this today! Local liquor store just moved locations and has an AWESOME beer selection now. Now, to get there, shop, package, and mail.

 

[Thorrak]

I think I figured out the offer for my giftee (128fl oz!) - but my shipping packaging provider managed to go out of business (RIP Plated). Time to go to Staples, I guess...

 

[TheEagleRising]

I will be shipping mine tomorrow.

 

[TwistedGray]

Probably need to start shopping, lol. Doh!!

USPS priority large box will work. $20, and makes it in 3 days

 

[LoneTreeFarms]

Monday I’ll plan on shipping. Few more stops this weekend.

You are the reason I converted...well that and Mark from Fedex

 

[JCasey1992]

Got my shipment packed up and ready to go! I already have a pickup scheduled. Will be shipping tomorrow. Cheers!

 

[pshankstar]

I hope to ship on Monday if not probably the next Monday. For some strange reason I don’t like to ship later in the week and have a box of beer sit over the weekend. This way if I ship Monday and there is a delay of any sort it should still arrive by the end of the week.
Anyhow, the 128oz is a guideline & not a hard rule, right? LOL I didn’t get all 16oz cans so my math may be a little off.
Oh and I forgot to mention whomever is shipping to me and you ship at the last minute like I may. I’ll be out of town for work the following week (1/20) but my wife or kids can still get the box off the front step and bring it in. There will be a delay in me posting what Santa delivered. So all is still good here on my end.
Cheers!

If you send more than 128 oz of beer, your recipient will be expected to send the exact amount of the overage to me. Preferably before they drink it.

It’s a guideline, ship what you want - but given the blind pick nature of this round I’m hoping people don’t go anywhere near as crazy as some boxes from FotD have been.

I like the way you think! Watched Pirates of the Caribbean with the kids last week. The line about guidelines always cracks me up.

 

[TheEagleRising]

Guidelines. Cute. Like. I don’t know. Cute. Lets see.

 

[Thorrak]

To reiterate - you people are the reason I drink.

Especially those who ship me their excess beer.

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

 

[jimyson]

So we’ll all be getting crickets in our boxes!

 

[aharri1]

Shipping mine out Monday!

 

[j1laskey]

I’ll be shipping early next week also

 

[jaymosbeershack]

Fedex just texted me to let me know i have a package on my porch from a name i know.

 

[jaymosbeershack]

So were do stand, post the box when you get it, or wait till more people get their boxes?
