    I don't, but I have access to pretty full lineups from those guys too. I focused on Central Oregon in the post above, but I don't think I could in good conscience do a 200+ oz box like I'm seeing without tapping other areas of OR too. de Garde, Breakside, Wolves & People, Gigantic, Block 15, Barley Browns; no shortage of options.

    LOLz!!!!!

    Remember, this meant to be an easy, entry level, walezbro optional BIF. This bunch 'o knuckleheads is going far, far above and beyond any rational decision making. My first strike box, of 132 oz, followed by my ground attack of about 110oz, will be among the smaller boxes. And even that is about 3x the minimums.:grimacing:

    I know you know I don't care about walezbro, just seeing the goodies everyone else sent and wanting to keep the good times rolling. I promise I won't stand in a line for any of it. :slight_smile:

    Your sender has been among the quieter participants, although, he has popped up a few times. FWIW, he sent me a thank you box after the first round, so I know, from experience, that you'll be happy.

    I'm with you on the UPS store stressing me out. It's usually not a problem, but that's also why I like sending smaller packages, they could be "anything," including the lie I use*.

    I'm with many of you (@WesMantooth stayed it well a few posts back) in that I like the "organic trades" that I also called "blind" this past NBS: I'll send you some beers, including X I know/think you want, you send me some, and we'll all enjoy.

    I'll also echo @cavedave in that I am proud being involved with such a generous group of BAs :slight_smile:!!

    * you guys are making it hard to keep up and "stay small" :angry::slight_frown:

    P.S. Glad to see @garymuchow has package in hand, one less stress for me :wink:.

    The luxuries of living in New Mexico (of which there are very few): when shipping beer, without missing a beat I can tell the employee at Fedex that I'm shipping salsas and green chile to my cousin because he misses home. Fedex employee doesn't question it for a second and hell it's such a believable lie for a New Mexican that I find myself believing it as I say it.

    I always just assumed writing "fragile" on the box was the same as writing "kick me," but I'm sort of an asshole that way. I'm putting the rush shipping to good use tonight though.

    What beer are you drinking now? #1255

    I thought "Fragile" meant it was from Italy.

    I guess having a FedEx account really helps since the labels are printed in advance. Only question asked when I drop off the box is if I want a receipt. I also found this is true when going to the USPS today.

    For the box I sent @thebeers via USPS, they did ask if there was anything fragile, to which I said yes. No further questions.

    The last box I shipped that was a Kolh's box that had fragile printed on the box in many places and it arrived with a huge hole ripped in the side. This is why you double box all shipments.
