    Alright, BBMD (Beer Box of Mass Destruction) 14.3 kilos has been armed and heading on a guided course East. Sounds like I might not be the last to ship so there is still some element of surprise, some poor groups of businesses are in for a surprise as the target has decided on a workplace delivery. The weather appears to be within the threshold, as it should be quite the acidic explosion =)

    13.305 KG box sent out for shipping today. This lil' guy is heading west (obvs) and is full of East coast gold. As my target lives in an ice encrusted metropolis I have sprung for the signature option. Godspeed lil' box!

    Love the element of surprise! Even once you have received you box you have no idea who it came from. Lol!

    To keep it warm. Manitoba and Alberta and some parts of BC are minus double digits. A night on a porch could be disastrous. Even Ontario has hit bottle bursting temps this year.

    ah, so then there's another reason to send to work =) also I guess that only applies to detached homes as they'd never do that with apartments/condos.

    I normally spring for signature if it looks like a busy area where a package may go missing if left on the front steps. After these freezing temps though, I will consider it after looking at the forecast.

    For me, after coming home to find a package sitting on my porch for many hours, I'm always thankful that no one has stolen it. I do live in a fairly quiet neighborhood, but if it is a busy street, theft is always an increasing possibility. A signature requirement ensures that a package isn't left unattended for hours, or maybe even days!

    We are reaching our shipping deadline for this round of Canbif. As of midnight tonight anyone that hasn't shipped at this point could you please shoot me an email so I get an idea how many are still awaiting on a box.

    Also after reading some of these post and checking on when targets have last been online if anyone has sent out a box which has been tracked as being delivered but there has been no beer **** post could you please contact me and I will reach out to see if everything is alright.

    Thanks everyone!

    Box arrived yesterday but my wife put it in the study and didn't tell me about it until this morning.....

    Anyway, scanning the label I could see it had come from Nova Scotia which was exciting as my exposure to these beers has been minimal. Interested to see what was inside I ripped open a well packaged parcel to first see a couple of Unfiltered stickers! Totally want to drink their beers based on the reviews they get plus a great logo. Cool!

    Enough typing, now for some beer **** pics...

    Ok, get your mind out of the gutter!

    The whole haul!

    Cans of goodness!

    Enough Brett in that parcel to cause a serious box gusher!
    Can't wait to get into it.

    Sincere thanks to Jay (jk1985) for the box (pretty sure that's who it was based on some detective work. Ok, I used Google). Appreciate that you spend the time to check out wants and style preference. Only one repeat here for me but I did rate it well so look forward to sharing it with friends. Hit 2 wants so that's sweet.

    Cheers and thanks to Electros for setting this up!
