    This is the official hints and hauls thread for the Spontaneous BIF that was set up by Providence as a way to carry on the BA spirit that was shown to me by BobZ when he randomly dropped a killer box on my porch.

    My first hint: my target said they were interested in receiving CCB beers in the planning conversation

    First hint: No sign of an IPA or a Belgian in the box going to my target.

    I've literally been sitting here putting together lists of what I want to include in my box - I'd say my work productivity is pretty darn low right now. :slight_smile:

    Hint - My box will be heading east

    Same here. I have been comparing my Target's want's and hads with what I have on hand an can get.
    I happen to have a bottle from Jester King that I think they will enjoy. Not sure what else is going in the box though.

    I actually have a good idea of what my box will be comprised of. Now I have to make it to the liquor store and pick it up.

    Hint my box is heading west of me.

    Well you could be east of Brrgen County and still be in NJ.
    It could be your shipping to me.

    If I go any further east I would hit water and then Staten Island. I'm throwing in a kick ass IPA in my package.

    My box will be heading west of me. I now need to get bubble wrap and a box. Looking for one more beer to add in.

    Enjoy

    My box is packed and waiting to be picked up.
    It is going to someone who lives in one of the original 13 colonies.
    IT is filled with beer from the Westeran an Northern territories

    Should I use FedEx or ups to ship? Signiture required? Does FedEx give you boxes like the post office?? Going to ship Tuesday and get the box ready Saturday.

    I use USPS priority mail flat rate boxes. Usually gets there in 2 or 3 days. I
    Never had a problem.

    What do you tell them is in the box? I guess you can hear the beer inside. I was going to stand the bottles up but I guess laying them down is ok too.

    Use either FedEx or UPS. Do not use the USPS, it is illegal to ship alcohol using the USPS and the government can take legal action against you if they choose to. The worst that can happen with fedex or ups is they destroy the beer and send you a threatening letter that carries no weight.

    No one has ever asked what is in the box. If you are packing the beer right, you shouldnt hear the bottles.
    Use bubble wrap and lots of it.

    My PO asks a million questions about everything I ship, including is it liquid. I meant you can hear the beer sloshing in the bottles, no?

    I have never heard sloshing.
    I have never had a problem with using the Post Office.
