    This is great advice. I would also like to add that I know some people are more active on Rate Beer than on BA and if you have a list of beers that you have reviewed on RB, posting a link to your user name on RB can also be a big help.

    But at a minimum, updating your "wants" is a great start. Remember that in most cases you are receiving a box from a person that doesn't know you at all, so the more detailed we can all be in the hints & hauls thread, the better!

    No insurance as shipping alcohol is not legal.

    I would say the defeault is no signature required as it creates more hastle for the target. However, there are a few who do like a signature (e.g., @TheSevenDuffs), but these oddities will usually post that they want a signature in the hints and hauls thread :wink:.

    I'm trying to print a shipping label through Canada Post but I don't have a scale at home. Anyone have an idea what a full 12 bottle styro shipper should weigh? Can't imagine mine would weigh any different.

    I usually just take the box to a Canada post when it is ready to rock, get the weight, and the come home and print a label for Canada post through pay pal.
