    Soooooo.... while it may be too early for you to have received your box yet, does FedEx tracking indicate that the beer is in transit yet?

    And here is the rub...label created and nothing shipped yet but several seemingly positive emails from @dabrees. I pinged him on this again this morning.

    Let's wait and see. Still no response from @dabrees in this thread, so I guess it's at least possible that there might be a reasonable explanation for his behavior (you never know). I know I would like to hear his side of this story, assuming he has one.

    That being said, as always in these BT threads, the foremost priority is to make sure the OP is made whole (he gets his beer). At this point, I'm still hopeful that @dabrees is just unduly busy with pressing matters at home, and hasn't gotten around to dropping his box off at the fedex store (but will shortly). I'm willing to give him till the end of the week to get his box off and into the mail. Hopefully he'll ultimately make good on his trade agreement.

    I would prefer not to get @Todd involved in this matter until the OP receives his beer.

    Jesus Christ how does one get a tracking number and wait five days throughout the week before dropping off?! Hell I could schedule pickup faster than that!

    Really a sad state of affairs here, no communication no representation here and delays in every aspect of the deal right up to the end. Sorry @Slack

    @Slack Just to confirm, you sent the beer you agreed to and he waited this long to send "something"?

    Man. Fuck that guy. Don't give a shit what happened in their life. That's unacceptable behavior.

    Appreciate the concern gents and yes I am waiting for a box of something. Not sure what the issue with Fedex was but I can’t wholly attribute it to either party. At this point, I just want to close this out.

    I will provide a further update when the box arrives.

    Box arrived early late Saturday and contained the following:
    Error 504
    Can I have Samoa
    Cookie Butterface
    Bye Bye Baked Apple Pie
    Don’t Fluff and Tell
    Okie Paradise
    Apple Brandy Noir
    Double Barrel Noir
    Bourbon Paradise
    Cowboy Breakfast
    Balaton

    While this is not what we he agreed to send, it is more and I am glad to have this closed out.

    As previously stated he cancelled the trade request so unfortunately I cannot provide any feedback. I am going to defer to the mods on how to appropriately address this final issue.

    Once again, to all the folks on this thread, I am very much appreciative of the support, feedback, and offers to make it right. It speaks volumes to the community. Cheers.

    Glad you at least got a box eventually. And to be quite candid, it should contain bottles above and beyond.

    Sorry if I missed this earlier, but when did he cancel the trade request? Feels like an attempt to circumvent getting the negative feedback that is deserved here.

    I'm usually pretty conservative in my opinion of appropriate consequences in these threads (i.e. others often tend to be much harsher in their take), but I feel like at a minimum negative feedback along with revoking trading privileges here is appropriate. And since this guys only posts and contributions to this sight are in ISO:FT thread and responses in the previous BT thread, might as well swing the banhammer here.

    Are you satisfied with what you received? Do you feel as if @dabrees fulfilled his part of the trade agreement?

    Glad to hear that this box finally arrived. Now that it has, can we please immediately revoke @dabrees's trading privileges? No one else should have to deal with this nonsense.

    I'm good with the box but not good with the process.
