    We get a lot of bad trader threads so I thought it would be good to take an opportunity to "rep" a good BA. We're both pretty regular traders, but this was our first trade together and it was the first lost box for both of us.

    I had a trade set up with Jed (jmarsh123) and the box appeared to get all the way to my hometown and out for delivery before it got mysteriously lost in transit. We both dealt with the carrier for a week or two before it got sent to claims for reimbursement. We're still not sure what happened. In the meantime, Jed had kept an open line of communication, replaced the key bottle that he had a duplicate of, and traded to get the second bottle that made up the core of our agreement. He also sent nice extras and the best bottle of homebrew that I've received in a trade.

    I know he was just doing what he was "supposed to do" within the realm of our small community of traders, but it sucks to lose good (not off the shelf) beer. He handled this and did it right...so I just want to say thanks.

    Jed is an awesome trader and very generous with his bottles at tastings too! This story is no surprise to me :grinning:

    Great to hear, I had the same thing happen to me with a chump from Canada (one of my first trades; his box never made it to me) and I never heard back from him. Good karma for you jmarsh!

    Haven't traded with him but as a person Jed is a good guy. Made a special trip to stop by my store and let me taste a growler he had when he was visiting. Was a pleasure to meet him.

    Watch out, too many of these threads and in a year or two the traders who are new now will be complaining about how the forums have changed and are too cheery :grinning:
