    Thankfully I already know I'm not your target- I don't want to think too much on the day after the Super Bowl.

    My target will be receiving a beer that is sold in a box (sorry, not Rare).

    I am going to the brewery that keeps burning down next weekend...hoping to pick up a few things. Also going back out next wednesday morning. The place i shop gets their shipment from the best new brewery on tuesday, so hoping to get some of them as well.

    Box o' beer shipped. Fedex says two business days. So, my target should be getting it on Wednesday.

    Tomorrow will be a new puzzle which will include the tracking number. Good luck and hope the target likes the box.

    P.S. - Couldn't include swag in this box so I'll be shipping another box soon.

    Oh good, I can look forward to my head exploding again tomorrow.
    I'm still lost somewhere in South Dakota after the last clue.

    I'm assuming after this one I will be banned from any BIFs that are held on BA. Figured I'd go out with a bang.

    would this man[​IMG]
    approve of the name that said beer came from?

    Hint:
    If i were to ship a box full of my target's wants, I'd be submitted to the bad trader list.
    I hope my target likes DIPAs. A little brewery near me just did a three day release of theirs and one will be included in the box.

    hoping to finish up shopping tonight. going to end up sending things mostly from the "cellar" anyways.

    if the spot i pass by on the way home from work has the "world class" rated beer that's got a 14:1 want:got ratio on tap like i think they do, my target will be receiving a 32oz growler of this as one of my "locals". if they do not, i might be waiting till next monday to ship. i'm taking somewhat of a gamble on the two locals, but they're both great beers with "world class" ratings on here, just not from really big name breweries.

    hint: one of the major sports teams in my market is in division with one of the major sports teams in my target's market.

    Whoever has me. Schwag could also be dog stuff. Leash collar bowl etc.

    Alright, I'm all final and packed up. My target is only getting beers from two breweries, but they add up to ten 12oz containers and 3 750ml bottles. I went to the store and just decided to keep adding and adding... Oops.

    Box is almost complete. Will be making a final trip to a bottle shop tomorrow to pick up something to make my box a little "wilder" for my target. Still on schedule for a shipment day of next Monday.

    Question about shipping- If I don't have an account with Fedex and just take it to a FedEx Office to ship it out, do they ask any questions about the contents? If so what do I tell them?

    I've never been asked about package contents.
    If I were asked, I'd lie.

    I always prep my labels at my office and just use the depot as a drop spot. I don't stick around for questions.

    It's generally in your best interest to create a fed ex account for a couple reasons. First, your shipping is cheaper. Second, you can print two labels (one for the box and another to put just inside the box so if your outside label gets torn off and they inspect, they see the second one immediately and hopefully don't inspect further). You can cover the outside label in layers of clear packing tape so no part of it is exposed to maximize security.

    If they ask, you're shipping homemade marinades/BBQ sauce/snow globes etc.
