CANBIF Spring 2017

Damn, I shoulda sent the new craft 40 bottle from Strathcona

 

Pretty rare unless new regulation. Have had parcels delivered to me in a big plastic bag because of breakage multiple times

 

My target's porch buster is on the move and now just a short 150 km or so south of him. CP's delivery estimate remains this Friday, but I'm going to call it sooner than that - arrival in plenty of time for a good weekend!!

 

FedEx tracking now shows my recipient's box as delivered!

 

Is there a list of who is participating and who has yet to receive a box?

 

This rainy Monday shows that your package is "out for delivery" seems fitting as the part of the country your in is known for having rainy winters rather than harsh cold one's most of the rest of us have to put up with.

Better start practicing that signature!

 

Postman just dragged my box into the office. Pretty much broke his back. I couldn't help but open it up in my office. Everything is in good order and everything looks awesome. I'll post pics tonight.


My box is ready to go and will be delivered this week to hopefully help stop the tears as their NHL team was knocked out of the playoffs.

 

Just got the heads up from my fiancée who was home this morning - the box has arrived and appears to be in great shape! Will have an update later!

Cheers

 

As of yet, no box received ...

 

I know my target hasn't, though the box is on it's way. It spent the weekend in beautiful Mississauga, home of the reigning NBA D-League champs. Hopefully it has begun it's long journey west!

 

Just a reminder, when you receive your box, you should post a photo. Part of the fun of BIFs is the haul photos.

 

Item is out for delivery! Hopefully will arrive on time to help cheer on your team tomorrow

 

Picked up my box at the post office today and will open and post photos at home later today. Thanks @Hal_Hickey I cant wait to crack into it.

I sent off a box today as well. Delivery expected on the 4th in a town that "Captivates You," or so its website claims. Looks like a nice place in which to be captivated!

 

Oooh, that's me, that's me! Looking forward to it

As for my target, box is out for delivery!

 

Dropped off a box full of cans and a little glass heading to a street with a view.

 

My absolute beast of a box arrived while I was out for coffee. Huge thanks to @Erik-P for this bomb. Very generous of you.

Oh my... our office reception area was just destroyed, and the poor postal worker that had to hand carry that bomb up the elevator. Office admin didn't even need to receive it, she saw the postal worker, the box, and her struggle and just knew to duck and cover.

Once again, thank you @Hal_Hickey . Great box that hits specific and style wants with amazing accuracy. I'm particularly happy that I missed the Thor's Hammer when it was at the LCBO in the fall. Now I have a 2014

And thanks @Phyl21ca for once again organizing a great bottle exchange.

Cheers!
