Let me see your Can-Cans Hints and Hauls

Hint #7: My box will travel roughly 1,200 miles to its destination.

I'm not sure how long it would take by bike, as I do not ride one, but if I did the box would probably be empty from me sampling along the way...

 

Wow. That escalated quickly. I'm staring at ~275oz. of beer, all but 12oz canned and thinking of grabbing a corked and caged bottle of something to finish off the box tomorrow. What's that you ask? Hell no, that's not necessary but the bottle is about 2/3 the normal price, I have a 10% coupon and I think my target would really dig it so BACK OFF!!

Swag has been purchased although I've got my eye on one more thing...I figure since this is my last BIF before I go on a trading hiatus I might as well do it up right, right?

And one more thing to my target - you're lucky the stores around here don't have any craft 5L mini kegs, just Heineken, Newcastle and the like, or I'd be dropping another 169oz. of "canned" beer on your ass. Your FedEx driver says thank you.

 

To my sender-
I just got called out for work next week, and have to go out of town. If my package is set for delivery during that time, there will be someone at my office to receive it, but i wont be able to post any dope photos until the following Monday.

 

My box should be landing tomorrow. Can't wait as it is my first BIF. I broke all the rules, sent bulk, sent cans from all over that I love, sh*t happens I guess.

Also the final final hint. The Fedex guy might be an ex after hauling my box tomorrow, who lives in...like George Strait.

(Oh yeah, a Drake lyric reference...this Hints and Hauls thread just got real)

 

So I guess I've kind of sucked so far this BIF with participation and hints. I've been in the process of moving from an apartment to a house so I'm really looking forward to some can action as I start my journey into yard work, you know now that I have a yard and all.

A hint, I've done work semi close to where my target lives but I don't fly into the state they live in.

 

I have been a bit MIA lately with work and various life activities lately so I have not had a chance to post in this thread! I want my target to know that I did quite a bit of shopping this week and I am heading to Asheville this weekend so I have decided to hold off on your shipment until next Tuesday or Wednesday. I promise you, you will not be disapointed. I have collected a wide variety of beers not only from my state but from states and breweries that you do not get! I hope you enjoy what I am sending.

As to my sender, I know who you are I believe and I have updated my wants : )

 

Hint #5 - My target has posted in this thread more times then me.

 

Because he broke all the rules, duh.

 

finalizing box tonight for late night shipment.
168oz of cans
108oz of bottles

had to settle for a "jarred" item but managed to throw in some goodies.

final hint coming tonight

 

I also will most likely have a jarred item, since we live in the same area.

 

I

I sent you it in our private message on Monday.

 

I still have no clue as to where my box is coming from, the suspense is killing me!

 

Hint #8: Meadmakers should be thankful to my target's official state insect.

 

Next hint: My sender has not posted in this thread today.


Wait, wut? Am I doing this right?

 

Just got the shipment delivered email. Pro-Tip from a warehouse worker: lift with the knees!

 

2 big cans, err boxes, are on their way.

final hint: my targets state sh!t the bed in the opening round of the NCAA tournament.

 

Sorry for being so quiet this week--I've been enjoying the great beer scene in STL while not working. The box arrived late last night and it was moved indoors. It's going to be tough to not rip into the box as soon as I get home, but first order of business will be getting my STL haul inside. THEN I rip into the box. Pictures forthcoming! (ETA 16:30 CDT)

 

alright, i'm done with my shopping it seems.

mighty convenient to "have" to pick up a bunch of six/four packs for putting into this BIF, before i plan to spend the weekend on the beach... mmm cans.

anyways, the cans around me are not whales or showstoppers, but i'm going to kill my target with quantity, and solid non-can offerings.

secured a trade this afternoon for three non-can wants, that will round out my box nicely. a nice, brewery released sour with a small bottle count included. (may or may not be a hint).

the plan is with 192oz of cans, 167.5ish oz of bottled goodness. fuck your minimums.

my target is way north of mason dixon line. his box is going out tuesday.

my target may have already figured out that i'm sending to them, judged off of their actions after one of my other hints. if my target has figured it out, he's a super sleuth or a damn good guesser.

i think i've narrowed my senders down to four, and all four of which i am excited to receive a box from.
