    I'm not sure that I am yet a master at packing a 12 slot shipper, but 16.5 kg of brewskis are heading west as I write. I think 3M may guide a little higher this quarter based on the amount of packing materials used, but like any task, I find that the devil is in the details.

    Three day expedited, so it should be there by the weekend (knock wood).

    A box should land tomorrow in a town to the west of me that is home to the sister bar of Stillwell.

    My target never posted anything so I went ahead a filled a box with BA Keiths, Olands, and an incredibly infected Rarebird Maple ale (like there are any other kind). I can only assume my target will love such treasures as they have not stated their likes or dislikes in this thread...

    My box is packed and ready to go...at 351 oz I believe it's the largest one I've sent to date. Should land on somebody's porch hopefully on Friday, but more likely Monday.

    My wife was home for lunch today, and informs me that a large box from BC arrived. Can't wait to get the work day over with now!

    My first box is looking like it may not be delivered today, probably tomorrow then... to a house in a city that has a sister city so close people usually mention one with the other. I could probably mention my target by name here and they wouldn't be the wiser because they don't post... or log in it would seem.

    My second box is racing across Ontario on its long journey to pretty damn near the west coast. I mean the actual west coast, not Alberta... Its weird when people refer to Alberta as the west coast or Ontario as the east coast. This one should land early next week, and I already miss one of the bottles in that box. But it should be a new tick for my target, so I hope they dig it.

    A huge thanks to my sender for a crazy generous box that I’m super excited to dig into! Planning to crack open the Superflux stuff ASAP. Cheers!

    Boxes are packed, shipping labels are printed/paid for. I'll be dropping them off at the post office tomorrow!

    To my targets: I'm sending you both a jam packed shipped filled with mostly rare local gems. I aimed my selection around your tastes, and hopefully most (if not all) will be ticks. We will see if I did my homework successfully.

    Both targets are west of me, but the first is not nearly as far west of me as my second target. Target 1 lives in the 5th largest city of their province, but target 2 lives in the 3rd largest city of their province!

    All packed up and ready to ship West.

    My target has had...let's just say...a lot of beers so this box was a true test with some heavy hitters I planned to drop being left out. I hope you enjoy!

    So the box I sent is now waiting for pick up after an attempted delivery earlier today - I haven't seen my target post on this though, so I hope they are still engaged in the bottle exchange!

    As for the one that is being sent to me, I still have no clue who's sending. I assume all the people who are saying their boxes are heading west aren't going west to hit New Brunswick!

    Until now, I didn't receive anything. I' really eager to open the boxes! It's cray to wait for beer from unknow senders at any moment :slight_smile:

    Targets box was delivered yesterday in the NCR! Hopefully they post a haul pic soon!
    They've been relatively quite in this thread. Regardless, hope they enjoy the beers!

    My box will be heading out on Monday. I apologize for sending a day late. I will send express to make up for it.

    A sturdy wine shipper loaded with West Coast goodies is on it's way eastward today, to a province which had a Stanley Cup team. Google street view doesn't exist for this shipping address, so I can't see if the porch will stand up to this crusher. It's going to a town with a newer name of a once popular dwelling, for the wealthy, in the old world.

    294 oz just dropped off at the post office, headed east via expedited parcel to make sure my target gets their brews as soon as possible. Beers from more different countries than provinces, I believe I have an entire box of new ticks for someone who hopefully enjoys doing side by side comparisons of barreled vs unbarreled beers.

    Whomever gets Hal's box is in for a real treat. Hal is one of the most generous beer mailers on the planet.
