    Your account won't be flagged. Just do home pickups or go to a different FedEx store. And pack the shit out of your box to minimize sloshing. If the bottles can't move, the sloshing will be a lot harder to hear.

    Thanks. Bottles were bubble-wrapped, then placed in a styro shipper with newspaper to fill out any gaps. Box was tight. The one thing I forgot to do was throw a few pennies in to clang around and mask any other sounds, which apparently has been successful every other time I've shipped.

    Some of them like to listen for the styrofoam squeaking around. this is why I use cardboard shippers!

    Like Franklinn said, they may been hearing for the styro shipper. I pack my boxes similar to what you described and have never had a problem, but I either double box or use cardboard shippers

    This is what I have been seeing for the past few days. I was expecting to see various scans at places along the way. The box I am getting from CA is the same way. I mean the In Transit/On Time (green) is reassuring but I just figured I would make sure.

    Be careful to not fall off the edge of your seat.

    The last time I couldn't mask the sloshing, I put "fragile - snow globes" on the box. Super lame, but I didn't have any probs.

    That's good for you, but you didn't send extras yourself.. Not sure I'd advertise that fact.

    Oh, I did. It was included in the "swag," that I mentioned. Sorry it wasn't more clear.

    Yeah, sadly what people associate with swag, has changed recently; but I meant it in the traditional sense of: goods, items, or valuables.
