    Empty space is the hamstring cramp of beer nerd packages.

    Very dangerous and very painful.

    Thanks.

    Happy to send a bottle of Ontario (Labatt) brewed Rolling Rock to my target for a side by side tasting. I guess this means my box is started!?! In fact, like this post and I’ll send a box filled only with Ontario brewed versions of American ‘classics’ like Rolling Rock.

    Great. So you’re saying there is a good chance I end up on one of those border security reality shows?

    “700 oz of beer sir? Let me see your importers license.”
    “Oh, you don’t have one?”
    “Please step into room 3C on the left and disrobe.”
    “Mike! Full cavity search in 3C!”

    As long as you're under 8.5 L of beer, you're good.

    No guarantee in this BIF.

    I'd like to see a Chris Hansen-helmed "To Catch a Beer Trader," now that you mention it.

    "Sir, why don't you have a seat over there."

    "What's this all about?"

    "You sent this package out yesterday with UPS - is this your signature?"

    "Uh, yeah .... "

    "You told them it was home-made preserves, perfume, and antique ceramicware. But really, you went to UPS to ship beer, didn't you???" DUN DUN DUN

    So I won’t get to be on TV? No one said I’d be riding such an emotional roller coaster when I signed up for this...

    That is true, the NBS BIF bunch is wild. However, if he wants to drive his beer back across the border, he's limited to taking 8.5L / 287 oz of beer.

    Good to know. I sent that much in food last round.

    Unless you declare it, and pay the fees.

    Which, as a reminder, if anyone would like to volunteer to send across the border, it would simplify things, and I'll send a small box to the sender.

    More is allowed but duty is paid on the overage... sometimes.

    Another picture of fresh CD. Why say you? There will be two more pics equaling a 4 pack, which I can almost 99% guarantee, my target will receive. [​IMG]

    You'll be missed, but pretty understandable you sitting this one out. Congratulations on the addition to the family!

    I've had similar experiences with them. I have had nothing to do with them for years unless someone sends something to me using them.

    Outstanding hit, at least as far as I can tell (everything in the picture would be new to me).

    I tape the living shit out of those. Only time it's been a problem was a couple BIFs ago, and I think someone broke into it on a porch and got spooked before they could boost any beer.

    You'd be amazed how quickly it adds up once you're including the weight of the box(es) and packing materials (0h, and the minimum beer amount flies by faster than you'd imagine as well!).

    Me as well, although a return visit from the Captain's Daughter ranks low on the totem pole of bad things that could happen to me.:wink:
