    I have it narrowed down to 7 people
    @locoformavs who is shipping east
    @MTKATL who isn't shipping to a new newbie. This being my 3 round, am I a new newbie?:thinking_face:
    @Elkevjoe not sure I make sense of his hints
    @jschott75 I wasn't eliminated so I'll have to go through all them
    @wolfpac255 very much still in play
    @Mikexw NH is not a monopoly property
    @byrdpickem also still in play

    Hint 1 - Shipping Eastwise.
    Hint 2 - My target did not share beer with me at the Mornin' Delight release.
    Hint 3 - I have never shipped beer to my target.
    Hint 4 - Not the only participant in their state
    Hint 5 - My target is most likely younger than me
    Hint 6 - My target has never shipped beer to me
    Hint 7 - Not shipping to @Elneenee
    Hint 8 - Not Shipping south of North Carolina
    Hint 9 - If I were to ship to @Joenap419, you would have to drive less than 13 hours to pick up the box.
    Hint 10 - It looks like you've ticked a lot of hazy IPAs but lacking on ones from my area. I am going to change that considerably.
    Hint 11 - My target wants some MoRe, so this box might be slightly late.
    Hint 12 - With the clues given above and some detective work, my target should know who they are

    Box to go out tomorrow morning and it should be there in 3 days.

    Damnit, I feel like @Joenap419 this round. Unless I prematurely crossed someone off, my box is definitely coming from RI. Not enough hints from @sicslstyle to determine if it's him or @Joenap419 though...

    Hell yeah!! I’m looking forward to some goodies from the Northeast!!

    I called you out because of Hint # 5. I stalked you on Untappd and you've definitely had some beers in my neck of the woods.

    And is that a record? Guessing correctly with only 6 hints given? :sunglasses:

    I was right that @beluga92 was my sender after only 2 hints. Mostly because it really couldn’t be anybody else.

    Has anyone else had any weirdness with losing Fedex email notifications?

    I was sort of expecting a call out, but my target apparently didn't get a notification. Curious!

    Maybe your target doesn't get notifications? Maybe your target doesn't check his mail? Maybe you put in the wrong address :astonished:?

    FedEx is the only place I get notifications from, but haven’t had one in a few months. Never really thought anything of it.
