    Would you have any concerns about shipping there at the moment? If yes, any idea how long would be good to wait?

    Because of the manhunt? No concerns, I actually received a box of beer while we were under lockdown.

    Yeah, just because of general heightened security. Of course FedEx =/= the government, but I was concerned that they might be extra strict in light of what happened, at least for some time.

    Would love to get 1 or 2 more opinions, if possible!

    If you are worried about something happening, wait. If you aren't, ship.

    All I know is I overheard my local FedEx say they were on high alert. To me this means asking lots of questions, checking packages for anything suspicious, etc. It may just be paranoia, but I would rather be safe than sorry. Only prob, is there is not way to tell how long they will be on high alert. That was the day of the bombing, and I was shipping west. I almost took my box back to the car but decided to give it a chance. I have never had any problems with my boxes, and so far this one has been delayed twice, at two different locations.

    Thanks! Hmm, okay. I don't owe anyone a box, but I was thinking of sending one out. Looks like I should think it over a little longer.

    I received a box from UPS the other day.
