I was expecting a sick box (DL, 2xBCBS, Backwoods, Plead the 5th and more) from a trade but I just saw it was damaged and being returned to shipper. The box made it all the way to the final delivery building. Is it possible to ask FedEx if I can pickup the box to recover the non damaged items? Not sure if that's a good idea because clearly they know it has beer. They might not even let me take it knowing the contents.
Haha. I just noticed my typo in the title. It now reads like if you have a damaged box send it to me. I am sober too!
Never hurts to try; if it's at a close-by pickup, I've been able to do this before. And if they give you grief (& they probably won't) profess surprise that some good friend was sending you beer, oh wow!
Didnt work for me. The box traveled 700 miles and they sent it back to me, damaged it again on the way and it went back to facility. Finally it was sent to my old address. So began my feud with FedEx and I will not use them again. 5 broken bottles in a box that was bomb proof. My only time I ever had a single bottle broken in a shipment.
Went up to FedEx and they won't release the package to me due to the shipper's account restrictions. Not sure what that means.
It means the shipper shouldn't have stupid restrictions on his/her account when they don't know how to pack a box.
I got a box returned that I sent out once. They repacked and returned everything that wasn't broken, and asked no questions when I picked it up. Lost a GI King Henry and a few other choice brews that I had to make good on. I had packed the shit out of that box as I always do. They must have lets Gorillas handle it. That sucks bro. Sorry.
Bomb proof? Maybe? But idiot proof? Forklift proof? Idiot driving a forklift proof? Do not underestimate an idiot operating a forklift. A bomb has absolutely nothing on such a menace.
I agree, just trying to say it was packed very well... I was very displeased and have to use the more expensive UPS now a days.
This happened to me, they resent the beer UPS and gave me $60. I was the sender. I didn't understand it.
Unless you ship UPS/FedEx freight, forklifts never touch any of our beer packages. What damages them is the company expecting employees to handle 600 packages per hour, and yell at, berate, and threaten the jobs of anyone who doesn't.
