    I'm not sending any out as extras! My loons! MIIIINE!!! :rolling_eyes:

    I get that it's not ideal and adds cost, but I'm happy to flip a box to you (or anyone) that would like to use their site and ship to my address, then provide me a label.

    Just filled a box to check - about $110 US.

    About $320 total for a mixed box of Loons, De Cam, Drie Fonteinen and a couple of Fantomes. Haven't pulled the trigger yet:sunglasses:

    This is pretty accurate, I have a box on its way as we speak full of exactly these things. I'll post the pron here but if you like I can BM you a more detailed accounting.

    The short version though is that each 375ml costs $4 shipping and each 750ml costs $7, add that to the purchase price and think about "if I saw X at a bottle shop for $Y, would I buy it" ... in the case of $9 375s of Cantillon Gueuze the answer is a resounding yes.

    My order was $57, and shipping was $54, 111 euros in total.

    But you didn't fill the box first. To make it economical, you have to choose "hold for later shipment" and wait to get your purchase until you've bought a total of 30kg of merchandise, otherwise shipping is way too expensive.

    If you're referring to a recent purchase and this is something you did, not just the way it looked in your cart, I recommend emailing Kurt and perhaps this can still be fixed before you waste all that money on shipping.

    By the way in this post "you" really meant @Littlelotte88 since she asked the question, but the offer is open to anyone that might be interested in more details.

    Sold out already? The site scraping is strong with that site. At least Kriek is still in stock.
    I'll talk you through it, I thought so at first too but really it's not too bad.

    Taking care of a sick kiddo, needed some coffee this morning. Pretty sure this one came from @_RL_ (Thanks Reed!)
    Doing e-mail/work while watching shark week in the background and drinking some SSU - not a bad Monday so far.
    Cheers Locals!

    Three boxes just hit FedEx, all for Locals. All are within a 2 day delivery range, so hopefully we'll see plenty of pron on Wednesday!

    Sounds like you need to apply my method and sharpie the names on the bottle unless you plan to keep the bottle for the art. :slight_smile:

    A treehouse growler and a few non-treehouse canned IPAs. It's good to have nice friends.
