Bruery Shipping.

I was able to look up your order (your eMail matches your username, hopefully) and it was supposed to have shipped yesterday, so you should be seeing it today. Sorry for the delay, our shipping dept. is usually much faster but your order was placed at the beginning of a large shipping run (Anniversary / Sans Pagaie / Chocolate Rain bottles orders going out). I'll send you a BeerMail with tracking info.

Thanks,

Yeah, unfortunately, I've had to call on 2 of my 3 orders. It sort of ridiculous when you consider the amount of money a lot of us have invested in the program.

 

Now that's taking care of a customer IMO. Thanks Patrick. Wasn't sure what The Bruery's process was. This is my first order.

 

I've had zero problems with their shipping and I've made 4-5 orders now. I am typically waiting for release days with the Society beers, but it is shipped 1-2 days after that.

 

Buying beer is not an investment....otherwise all my assets would be liquid.

 

Have a couple of questions about shipping, particularly in situations where you're having your allocation shipped to a trustee and the trustee is shipping it to you:

1) does your trustee open the box and verify?
2) what do they do about the "contains alcohol" stickers.. peel them? cover them?
3) does it matter that the box says "The Bruery" on it? Does this need covered before sending?
4) any idea how much a full 3-bottle shipper weighs? 6-bottle? 12-bottle?

Thanks for any info!

 

I re-shipped a bruery box recently with the stickers peeled off. Worked fine for me.

1) The trustee should probably open the box and verify.
2) Get rid of the Contains Alcohol stickers or scratch out the writing OR tape the FedEx label over top of it.
3) Depends on if UPS/FedEx knows what The Bruery is. I'd probably cover that too, although the only shippers I've received are generic, save the welcome shipment in January.
4) ~3lbs per full bottle, so maybe, like 38lbs (including packaging ~1-2lbs). 38lbs from CA to DOC 20001 was $55 on a quick quote for FedEx. You should run it with the ZIPs to be sure. Don't even bother shipping 3 bottles across the country (or within CA). It's cheaper to ship a case.
