    Lol, they were part of your Xmas gifts. You should now have about 10 more likes. Hope you enjoy your boxes.

    My boxes will be going out tomorrow, but don't fret, it wll be there in plenty of time. It should only take 2-3 days for Fedex to get to my target. I'll throw in another hint, it's headed to a business address.

    My box is going out today because I'm all about the last-minute gifts. Should still definitely be there before Christmas, and my target hasn't posted any travel plans/concerns.
    75% of the letters in my target's name are in my name.

    Looks like two boxes from different parts of the country are waiting for me at the leasing office. Guessing one is from this Bif. I haven't figured out who my Santa is so i can't wait to get home. Also a box from an Oregon brewery landed and is awaiting pick up at UPS. That box contains the last bottle for my target.

    Somebody has boxes....

    As for who is sending to me, I thought I knew. Could he be fibbing too?

    nlmartin, my man, you absolutely killed it! This box is awesome!!!

    nlmartin, you are the man!! Cant say thank you enough. You're a generous guy my friend. This is my first BIF and I am completely blown away. I hope there is an opportunity where I can hook you up in the future!!

    Sorry for all the swearing.

    Just finished packing my targets box. He will be receiving about 350 oz, I tried my best to match the box he claims to be sending out. Hint, You have claimed to be sending out more oz then i am sending you, i hope you do so as i built my box on the assumption of the killer haul you are sending another lucky member. No beer has a score under 90 on BA to my knowledge. Oh wait one does but it is a want.

    Box leaves today. Happy Holidays.

    Mine is heading out first thing tomorrow. Thought it would be today but I forgot the swag, so tomorrow it is.

    Heading to someone who's box has already landed and been posted by their target.
