    Beer is on the truck for delivery. It looks like it will not be left on someones door step, so they should have time to throw the Growler in the fridge and enjoy some a nice IPA, while watching the sunset.

    Well it looks like 3 boxes that I have tracking for, should land today. One was supposed to land yesterday but it was unable to be signed for. Hopefully we get some good haul pics today, or at least of the weekend. It looks like more will be heading out next week also. Everybody is going to kill it!

    if the box is going to a house, should we really make them have to sign for it? I could see an apartment or office.

    Alot of the time it depends on the driver. Sometimes even when a signature is requested, they drop off, and other times no sig is required and the driver will need one. I usually don't require one unless asked for by the sender.

    Sometimes it's drive dependent. They won't always just leave it on the porch or whatever.

    I guess it depends on the area too. If you live in an area where alot of packages disapear off front porches they may require it.

    I'm the guilty party for putting indirect signature (anyone can sign for it - wife, gf, sister, brother, roommate, child, dog, etc....) on all my packages. It costs me $2.25 or something like that and may inconvenience my recipient but the way i look at it is each box i send out is between $60-$100 dollars on average. If just one of them grows feet and walks off i may or may not be able to replace the contents of the box so for peace of mind i do this. For all trades i inform the recipient ahead of time just in case i need an alternate address but for BIF's, well for obvious reasons, i do not contact them to let them know.

    Just checked the tracking and it has indeed been delivered today. Hopefully that person will let us in on it's contents ASAP.

    Yeah i just happened to check too :wink:. My target has yet to post in this thread though and to be honest i'm not 100% certain what i sent...lol as I sent out three boxes on Monday and one on Tuesday. I think i have a problem.

    Thanks for hosting Mizzouguy and feeding my addiction!

    Ok, a box has landed here in sunny Tampa, FL and has traveled from the great state of MN. Since I'm at work, I'll have to do my unpacking when I get home. Stay tuned. By the way, this one is from mnbearsfan....thanks Matt!

    My target is not a slack ass like me and has posted twice in this thread and is north of Mason-Dixon. I did receive a nice box today and will post pics tonight. I will also be able to hit many wants for what it's worth.

    I'm definitely behind in getting my box together for this. I'm hoping I can get everything gathered up by next weekend and have it out right after.

    My target has been active in this thread.

    Nice! Glad to see it arrive safely. I can't speak highly enough for that El Segundo growler. It's really one of LA's greatest hidden gems of brewing and a brewery I share with anyone who visits. Enjoy!
