    Little update on this:

    I just got off the phone with Fedex. They lost my box in Houston, where my target lives. They are still looking for it, and believe it to be in the warehouse in Houston, but there's a slight chance they sent it to Utah for some reason. They said they have 2 weeks from the last scan (5/10/13) to find it before closing the case. I'm guessing at that point they reimburse me for the declared value.

    Anyway, my target has been kept abreast of the situation and sent the tracking number, and filed a claim on his end as well. He has been very understanding and we're working together to get him that box.

    I'll update as news comes in.

    Same. They just called Daniel too, and told him the same thing.

    Someone in the state with a park honoring a giant rat should be on the lookout for two boxes today....

    Well, what are you waiting for? Get your ass home, your porch is probably in a ton of pain from getting destroyed!

    This is just amazing! Thank you Nate!

    What's in the DeCicco's growlers? There was a tag on one, but it looked like it got a little wet and I couldn't read it. They are chilling now, I will be tasting these soon!

    I think Cuzco said he missed it in with some other boxes and it should be here shortly.

    Yowza! My cousin scored me an Attempted Redrum, but it's been on the shelf waiting for the right moment. I hear it's pretty fantastic.

    I had to look both of these up as I had never heard of either one. Both sound great! I love when brewers use new and interesting ingredients. Maca root in the banana nut brown, and a sour mash beer with Ethiopian coffee, teff, and gesho? Who knew? Can't wait to try these!

    Bored, so I did some sleuthing. These are the four senders left:
    ========
    Atomicskis - There isn't a user with this name. There is a user named "Atomicskis5", but they haven't posted in the signup or the hints/hauls thread (including any pr0n). Andrew, which user did you ship to?

    JustinF - Seemed pretty stoked about participating in a BIF and getting a box from ColdOne, but hasn't posted any hints. What's the dil, yo?

    Montrose79 - Posted on May 7th about shipping soon. En route?

    sandman3479 - Shipping woes galore, but is very communicative.
    ========
    What's the cutoff for busting porches to make up for deadbeats?

    I personally know 3 of the 4 senders here. Atomicskis5's box should land tomorrow or Friday. Montrose's box should land early next week. He was in contact with me daily and had a few medical issues resulting from a bike ride. Sandman will most certainly make good on any box and/or beers that are harmed. JustinF is the only wildcard here. I have a BM out to him but have not heard back yet. I will be texting him tomorrow to see what is up.

    Looks like we are all good. If there is a sender that flakes lets all bomb their porch with massive amounts of BMC as punishment!
