    Awesome box! Way to rep NH. So far, these have been some of the most consistently fantastic hauls of any BIF I've been a part of.

    You think so? Bear in mind there is one other person in this BIF near you (I may have asked beertunes about this).

    Turns out, I coulda gotten 12 in, but ended up with 11, and plenty of bubble wrap. I used the next size down box.

    132 oz of various cans of WA beer (not exclusively Bellingham though), is squeezed into a box, and ready to go the USPS. It will head to a ZIP code ending in the digit 2.

    Perhaps, when my target receives this primary assault on Friday, s/he could post pics as the box is unwrapped, so that @cavedave can see my technique. It's not exactly as I described, but close enough. One of the cans is from a brewery so far south in Washington, that most people consider an Oregon brewery. There is a view of this from the brewery's deck: http://i.imgur.com/OkLVWqw.jpg

    A bit of a housekeeping note here. I will have a long work day tomorrow, and likely won't be on-line at all, and if I do get on, it'll be later in the day. Anyone with questions, concerns, or thoughts might want to contact me today.

    The flat rate boxes are great, but make sure they don't take unnecessary money from you. I can usually ship in the same time zone in 2 days anyway and sometimes flat rate is more. The further the better usually

    What I like is that our main PO has a kiosk. No pesky workers to lie to!:sunglasses::sunglasses::grimacing::flushed::astonished:

    Curious as to which brewey. Is it the one in Carson or one of those other little towns on the WA side of the gorge?

    Post offices are not easy access where I live. I drive by one on the way to work, but they are only open like 20 hrs a week. Rural living! UPS is about 40 minutes from my house, but only about 10 from work, so they tend to be my choice.

    I live in a very small town and the last postmaster I knew very well. I just flat out asked her about it one day. She told me to lie, it was simpler. Now I can tell anyone who questions me in the future, without lying, that I was told to say no to your question. She is retired too, so I can name drop:slight_smile: All of that being said, I use UPS most of the time

    Unofficial hint: it's not someone in the eastern or central time zones. Unless it is.

    Looked like Mt.Hood. Haven't been west of Biggs in about 20 years, so I don't get much from the viewpoint featured.

    Another reason I go this way. I don't have to tell anyone what may or may not be in the package.

    That's not the view from said brewery however. This is:

    Alas, that gives away the answer, which is why I didn't use it in the first place.
