Bruery Shipping.

I hope so - they're really nice and would be great for trades.


Also FWIW the box included my new membership ID card and a new bottle carrier bag.

 

Picked up my initial 3 on Tuesday and didn't get them in that box. Came with that nifty carrying bag for them though.

 

Would it be advised then to have people ship their beers then? I'm a trustee for my buddy and i plan on picking them up but it would be awesome if he got this box. If not, no worries, I can just send him the one I already have.

 

I am very worried about Golden State Shipping after reading the yelp reviews, but I am hopeful it will work out well.

 

Is the box worth $12 for your buddy?

When I went to pick up my stuff in South San Francisco the "office" I walked into was hilariously ghetto. The guys were super nice though and the packages seemed like they weren't abused. The biggest challenge is not being able to get the beer when I'm at work.

 

What that thing on top? A bottle carrier? Can't tell from the pic...

 

Yeah it's a bottle carrier and my membership ID.

 

So, is the $12 supposed to just cover the 3 initial beers, then you add shipping cost to cover the additional bottles you buy? I'm trying to figure out if I should just buy the initial shipping package (then buy more beers later) as they become available, or to wait for the site to be fixed and buy everything at once.

 

I don't think it'll make much of a difference. That's what I emailed them on, but never got a response. I think the $12 is a completely different shipment no matter what though.

 

It would make sense that the $12 only applies to the box of three that comes with membership. That makes the most sense.

 

That's how it turned out for me. $12 for the first three (extra money probably covers the bottle carrier cost) and then you pay extra for any other bottles you order.

 

I got my shipment, and the GSO guy was remarkable helpful. He first tried to deliver ~45 minutes before I got home, but left his number. We played phone tag for a bit but he ended up coming just before I needed to leave to make a play. So that was pretty good service on their part.

Downside? Bruery didn't get my order correct...

 

Ya, I got the SitR today that I ordered. But not the initial package, which was part of my order.

 

my order was shipped to my name at my trustee's address, without her apartment number on line 2. faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaantastic.

 

You guys should stop complaining about the Bruery or else the Bruery DS (Defender's Society) will kick your e-ass.

 

you keep yr argument about tasting tickets in that thread over there!

 

Not just tickets, but also their website/shipping problems. And others. Hey, at least I contributed something worthwhile earlier in this thread. Those beautiful pics above are mine.

 

Oh no, my shipping was a bit of a clusterfuck. I had 36 bottles, they shipped in 2 9-bottle and 3 6-bottle shippers. Surely someone at the Bruery can do 36/12=3, or at least 36/9=4 if they can only do up to 9. Then one of the 9-bottle shippers didn't have a top styrofoam part! How the everlasting FUCK does that happen? I mean, you can see into the goddamn box when you're taping it up!

Fortunately nothing was damaged, but STILL, makes me a bit dubious about using the shipping later. Oh wait, no, it's too convenient and cheap to not use. Next time I hope they put a top on all my boxes.

(To be fair, GSO was awesome, the guy left his number and made sure I got my box. But the Bruery had some issues on their end, the say the least.)

 

Stu that sucks, but that is really funny. I don't wanna do the broken record thing, but really Bruery?

They can satisfy their customers and reduce their overhead by being more efficient. Amazon.com needs to learn that shit too...

 

Amazon actually goes the other way. It's way cheaper for them to not be efficient - which is why you tend to get ridiculously large boxes. By limiting the number of sizes of different boxes they have, they both make the boxing process cheaper (reduces employee "thinking" time) and increases the bulk factor which most likely makes each individual box way cheaper.
