    Haul Hint C: The Sabres, shockingly, won tonight. You won't get the beer I checked into on Untappd while at the game, but you will get one I drank on the 3rd of February while watching them lose.

    I am jealous that you got to see a win. Went sunday for the loss, had two offers for tickets last night and decided to stay home.

    Fed Ex is expecting to deliver on Thursday to the city where apparently its illegal to ride a bike without your hands on the handlebars.

    It's the first time I've been at a game where they've won in a couple seasons, so I'm pretty happy. I have turned down other tickets because they're just not worth it this season.

    Hint #2 is the only one that excludes me. *Sigh*

    My package is on vehicle for delivery today. My target has not been on BA for awhile hopefully he will be home today to receive his box or else it might freeze. :grimacing:

    I was pretty sure that I knew my sender by a few of his hints, but thanks to an email from UPS today notifying me of a delivery, I have confirmed it. We share the same first name. Looking forward to getting the box tomorrow.

    So far only two boxes have landed, right? Has everyone figured out who their sender is or are there still a few that are up in the air?

    I don't know who my sender is for sure, but @Grizzarky 's clues fit so far.

    Weather in Minnesota is about to get cold and snowy for a few days - so I think a package to my target will be going out around Wednesday next week. I might try to get it out tomorrow though - hopefully it would escape before the snowpocalypse begins in earnest. Fingers crossed!

    So you're saying not to ship early next week. Duly noted. Also, if you want any hints at what you're getting, look at the box @Yabey received because there is at least one beer that is the same.

    Hint #1 I’m shipping North
    Hint 2: You have less trades here than I do
    Hint 3: My target lives somewhere significantly colder than my city
    Hint 4: Your state has at least one team in every professional sport and has won at least 2 championships in the last 10 years
    Hint 5: You are not the only member in this from your state
    Hint 6: You haven’t been on BA for about 6 days
    Hint 7: In the debate of New York vs Chicago pizza, your state likes it deep and slathered with sauce.

    Also your box is packed, should have it dropped off and on your way by today

    Nice! Those are all new to me - psyched to try it! Thanks for checking first about shipping - I think if you ship on Monday, it should be warm enough by the time it arrives. No rush though, man! If there is anything that's very low ABV - yeah, maybe hold off until Tuesday.

    Thanks again!
