    Duct tape on the caps? I am curious. And slightly aroused.

    Teach me!

    Helps to prevent bottles opening during shipping. That is all I know. Maybe a more veteran shipper can expand on this.

    I was thinking residue would be an issue, but who drinks from the bottle anyways, right?

    I use electrical tape. Gets the job done with no residue on the bottles. I use it to contain any possible leaks that may happen during shipping.

    yes, the tape prevents leakage in case something should happen during shipping. some say to use electrical tape (i assume for the residue), but im sure either is fine. im not an overly experienced trader, but its what ive read in a blog before.

    I think my potential targets got it pretty well figured out and I'm a crappy hint giver ha.

    Ask and you shall receive!

    Hint 1: My target doesn't have much in their wants
    Hint 2: I'm shipping North / East
    Hint 3: My target has posted in this thread
    Hint 4: My target is within easy walking (or running) distance of a body of water
    Hint 5: I'm shipping North of the Mason-Dixon line

    My target wants a beer from the Midwest that I happen to have, so it's going in the box. And I hope my target likes watching Breaking Bad (doesn't really matter if you like the show or not, your getting the beer anyway!), a growler of each of the Marble Breaking Bad beers are going in! I'm planning on shipping Wednesday.

    Main Box is out 300 something ounces and about 1/3 of has some type of barrel aging. Should land Thursday I think. The box with your real swag item should be out at the end of the week, hopefully. If there isn't a Ivy League school in your state this box isn't going to you.

    I am pretty sure my sender hasn't hinted much. I have eliminated most. Oh well
    To my target. I am not shipping to Illinois, Missouri, or Michigan

    Hint 5: The state in which I live is approximately 29.5x larger than my
    target's state. In fact, mine is the 3rd largest in the Union, while theirs is the 3rd smallest.

    I'm shipping Tuesday, and am likely to have a conversation with my budget-conscious mint.com-addicted wife regarding FedEx expenses for the sake of this BIF. Yowch. Over 300 oz. now.

    Target,
    Here is your confirmation number UPS #1ZA2V165P2646492??
    Box has been dropped but tracking number won't been valid until tomorrow most likely.

    Second box is leaving Friday, but you will already know you are my target by then.

    Cheers!

    My target lives in a state with a lot of good breweries and a shitty unemployment rate.
