    I don't know why it's marked as required - when having them come up with a shipping label instead of making my own, they say I don't need it - but I don't know my trading partners phone number so, what do you guys do, just use your own?

    I've always exchanged numbers with trading partners.

    I just sent him a BM (BeerMail, not Bowel Movement), so we'll see if he logs on in time... he's in cali so here's hoping he wakes up early and checks BA immediately each day.

    I've put my number on the slip also if I didn't get the phone # from the trader. Fedex just wants a number in case the address is difficult to locate or find. I would say a phone number with an address with a suite# inside a business building would come very handy.

    I'm just wondering why it's marked with an asterisk (required) when I know they really don't need it. Oh well, mods - you can shut'er down, he just messaged me.

    It's just a trading courtesy when you exchange addresses,to include e-mails and phone numbers. It makes communicating about any potential issues easier.

    I just put my number in if I don't have my partner's info. But, I usually get the phone number especially if their trade history is not length.
