    That's exactly what I was hoping for, some kind folks to drop a bottle in the mail and Onion to not shoulder the whole debacle. One extra bottle is a fair bit easier to handle than an extra 3.

    You guys are too awesome... I really appreciate it. I called FedEx one last time today and they said there is nothing they can do since no insurance was placed on the box.
    All of the kindness means a lot, but really... I don't expect to be receiving any boxes from anyone. Especially Onion, his generosity was so awesome with the first box.

    That's not how these things work. Anybody who wants to throw down give me a message, we can go over details to make sure the man is hooked up. I'll wait a day or two and set up a group chat about it, so we can collude.

    That signature suggests business or apartment complex to me. Did the same HSIMPKINS sign for other packages that day? If so, you can pinpoint the apartments or business from those addresses. Don't give up!

    This is such a great BIF crew, I'm down to send another primo bottle for sure. I raised hell with FedEx today, but this box is officially toast. The tracking agent told me to reship, I told her I can't reship irreplaceable "antiques"!! Alas, my only recourse is to file a claim. Oh well, as long as Tyler winds up with some killer sours, all's well that ends well!

    Yeah, sadly I think this is just bad luck without a lot of available recourse. if it happens again i think tyler needs to cook some brownies for his fed ex guy.

    I'm happy to say I've never been there. But I see it daily on my transit to work.

    Enjoy buddy! I was going to include a 750 3F Oude. But I couldn't find it, I guess I drank it. It's an '08 or '09.

    Cheers!
