    Should probably cap it at 30, otherwise it'll take forever to finish.

    Not sure it will get much higher than 30. I was planning on cutting off registration by the time I ship which is gonna be Wednesday or Thursday, depending on when my 12 shipper arrives.

    By the way, anyone have experience with a shipper? It's my first time getting one. Wondering if it will make it through this whole ordeal alive.

    I'd still cap it at 30, but do as you see fit.

    I assume it will be fine.

    I had one do an out and back to the West Coast--it must have got dropped at some point, because it was kind of shattered at one corner. I was able to tape it up and use it for again. I think I've got a spare 12 bottle shipper in the warehouse--if it gets to me and is looking worse for wear I can replace it.

    I have a spare also, and I'm sure others do too. I think we will be all right.

    I have like 3 or 4 sitting around taking up space. I'm sure everything will be fine.

    And, this might go without saying, but I should probably either be early or later in this whole ordeal. I mean, it DOES get to about -50 around here in Dec/Jan....

    -50? Isn't that just about the perfect serving temp for Coors Light? Talk about blue mountains, and just about everything else for that matter.

    Up to 31 Participants. FedEx says I will be getting my shipper tomorrow. I will ship out either tomorrow night or Thursday morning. Please look at the list of participants and let me know if I have added you to the right list. I think I've gone through this thread and entered in everyone correctly but I could have made a mistake.

    Ship to Dead Last

    Once I ship, we'll cut off registration. I'll be the last target sometime in the summer of 2014. If anyone has a change to address during this long BIF w/in a BIF w/in a Box, let me know so I can send out the new info to be updated on the sheet. Also, once I send, I'll post the instructions one more time and we'll just reference that post from there on out.

    I recently had a delivery exception where they did not deliver, nor did they return my box. I called for updates a few times and tried to setup a claim on the phone. After a long call with a rep, and significant complaining and refusal to sign a claim form until I knew the status of the box I sent, a check showed up in my mail for the insured value (arbitrary $100, which is the max you don't have to pay extra to insure) plus the shipping cost.
