Cool Shipping Boxes

[chris mewhinney]

For once, I'm speechless. Those of you who pay any attention to my rantings on this forum may recall that my experience with UPS and FedX is painfully consistent. Last time I posted on this topic, I had shipped 3 separate boxes, two of which were double protected with bublle wrap between the bottles. All three boxes were destroyed. Well, I shipped another box full of beer to my brother in Florida a few days ago for his birthday. Carefully crammed bubble wrap between every bottle and the sides of the box. Naturally, they destroyed this one, too! Four out of four! That's 36 individually filled bottles of beer and not one has been delivered. What the heck!

If I wasn't hung over, I'd go get drunk.

Hmm, somehow, I don't think this is accidental. This could be their way of trying to discourage people from shipping prohibited items.

Chris,

Have you been going around kicking puppies? Cause you karma is really bad..

Have you been using the "Cool Shipping Boxes" or are you using recycled packaging material?? Damon and I shipped our entries to NHC using the "Cool Shipping Boxes" w/ no problems.

I'm using the same boxes you use and I wrap the bottles with bubble wrap. I'm expecting a call from the shipping store tomorrow so he can try to explain how this is possible. I swear they must xray these things and take their new homebrew home to the wife and kids. It's really hard to imagine that this is simple incompetence...or even a very advanced level of incompetence. Four shipments, zero deliveries. HAS to be intentional.

It sucks...
