Bad Trader: Mscanlon31

I know there are some that dont like this, but somthing I almost always do is write the name and address of the person on the side of the box to prevent from the label coming off thing..I know people re use boxes, Ive had it happen to me and I just scratch off the info when I get one..

 

@John_M that was my hope & I think you're right in the vast majority of cases. The fear is always that one will encounter a UPS/FedEx *hero* who's determined to militantly enforce every petty rule while saving Western civilization from the evils of alcohol. Shudder...

 

Haha I changed hero to "thirsty and unscrupulous craft brew lover" and it describes my fear.

 

Just an update sorry I didn't post yesterday but
I spoke briefly yesterday with them and it went like a bad job interview to an extent "we'll contact you" but they said the label probably fell off. Gonna give them until 4 again then I'm going to call back and start the insurance process. I appreciate all the advice and feedback. I think I'm gonna go with the I make steak sauces in collectable bottles. That sounded good

 

I'll stay with what you said. They don't have a way of proving what's in the box without a label on it

 

That's true and I've been trying to find one locally to purchase.

 

I have used those a few times if I was short on time and hadn't taped the label to the box as you describe (my MO). I have had a label "fall off" once or twice, and always when using the stupid pouch things. Moral of the story is to tape the label to the box (and put one inside, though I always forget to) instead of using shitty pouches that get ripped off.

Liquid/glass really shouldn't be an issue, just when that liquid is alcohol.

My go to is that I'm shipping marinades, as even if they tracked down the box and said "Um, this is beer" I can always say that it's beer bottles that have been reused and contain marinades. The would have to open the bottle (thus destroying my item intentionally) to prove otherwise.

 

I prefer marinades over steak sauces because the watery consistency works better with marinades, imo.

@LehighAce06 that was my reasoning too. I figured reasonable fedex employees do not want to call their customers liars...Do not want to destroy customers' property. If they were wrong & it was marinades, what then???

I went with internet foodies because I've always told them I'm a hobbyist not a business, who swaps with other hobbyists, but doesn't sell. Since I'm not selling anything I don't think I'm bound by food labeling laws, ie it's ok that the bottles still have beer labels on em rather than marinade ingredients & nutritional information. It's a friendly rather than commercial exchange. Every word of it true but *marinade* though people often marinade in beer so then only the claim that it's repackaged is untrue.

 

That's a hell of an answer lol.
Update: still haven't received a call I'm going to give them a call on my break hopefully around 6-7pm

 

I use 'vintage collectible Coca-Cola bottles.' It explains the sloshing, why I'm using wine shippers and it's a story that's easy to, ahem, swallow.

 

I print out shipping graphics from, "It Works", those pyramid scheme body wraps and nutritional supplements. I say I ship for my wife.
