    That is a shame indeed. Had the opportunity to sample some of it last night and it is a treat indeed. I will be stocking up come the 14th for sure!

    This is a serious problem, I came back from the store today with 3 bottles and then realized my 12-shipper already had 12 bottles in it.

    I'm sneaking in before the deadline but would love to participate in the spring round with my partner in crime @polloenfuego . There may have been some help convincing us to join from fellow BA's :slight_smile: Looking forward to receiving a target!

    Final count is 50 participants (51 boxes since I had to register a second box to make things work out). This is by far the largest one (36 participants in the spring 2015 edition is the second largest).

    I did my best to accommodate all the special requests...

    The pairings will go out shortly (today and tomorrow)

    Can anyone suggest or recommend the best way to send these BIF shipments?
    Is there an ideal method for shipping? I imagine tracking is required.
    Looking forward to your suggestions.

    I have a venture one card. It seems to be the most affordable. Is it a problem if it is overnight or xpressed? I was just thinking you don't want it xrayed due to shipping regs. Am I over thinking it? Sorry, it's my first time.

    Just send it regular with free expedited with Venture One (Solutions for Small Business now). Never any issues with that, and if you send Monday it should arrive by Friday almost anywhere in Canada. Also a heck of a lot cheaper than express or overnight

    I'm looking at google maps satellite mode to try to gauge how sturdy my targets porch is for how hard of a bomb I'm about to drop on it :grinning:
