    I live in the Southwest (Albuquerque, NM) I just posted a thread asking anyone who would be interested in trading beer? We have some incredible breweries here that I know do not distribute in Pa. Three in patricular are the 2011 GABF Gold medal winning Elevated IPA from La Cumbre Brewery, the 2012 Silver medal GABF winning Marble Brewery Red Ale, and the 2012 GABF Gold medal winning Nut Brow Ale from Sierra Blance Brewing Co. I am looking for someone who is will to trade the Headhunter IPA (Fatheads) for any of these products. Yes I agree shipping is high, but I am more than willing to work with you. Please let me know. Thanks

    I've missed the UPS guy twice now for my delivery from HalfTime. Hope to pick it up on Monday. FYI: I ordered like 36 beers and they still shipped. Grabbed a couple cases of Session (Red Lager and Fest), plus some singles we don't get in my area. $7/ea for BCBS is a little steep, but I'm looking forward to trying it.

    That's why I always have beer trades shipped to my work, not my home...

    Good to know. My order was 27 bottles total, but no matter what I did, the cart kept showing 24. I've noticed this happens when I add BCBS to my cart. No matter how many bottles of it I add, it only tally's one at the top. Bizzaro.

    I've used Quality Liquor, France44, Leukens, Nejaime's Wine, and Holiday Wine Cellar all with great success, however it now seems Nejaime's no longer carries beer, sucks. I got last year's batch of Blasphemy from them before we could get in GA. I've done Let's Pour as well, but we can all vouch for their quality and speed I think. Leukens is awesome for Cigar City stuff but you have to jump on it quick, they sell out fast. Quality is good for most West Coast stuff it seems. I hate paying the shipping too, but I'm too damn impatient sometimes to deal with trading, not everyone is willing to play ball. I've got three trades 'floating' right now, awaiting responses but people don't always come through.

    "How's about free shipping with 6 bottles? http://www.letspour.com/deals?deal_type=beer

    Love this site. Free shipping, chance to win discounts (pretty sure you get $10 off first order with a new account), and the customer service is amazing."

    I would have to disagree with Lets Pour customer service. I had a beer in my cart and when I was looking to get more beers for the six bottle shipping, it was ripped out. When I emailed them they said I used up my time of 15 minutes to order the beer. B.S. It was gone in under five minutes. When I responded to their email saying this was not the case they have never gotten back to me. So their customer service is crap. Just saying. There are too many other place to get beers from.

    Customer service is all about your personal experience. No matter how good customer service for a company is there will always be someone who has a bad story.

    Sorry to hear about what happened to you though, that sucks. My first experience with them has been phenomenal.

    Most of the bottles they sell are already $3-$4 more expensive than anywhere else, so all they have done is built the shipping in to the cost of the bottles. Creative window dressing, I guess. If you order less than 6 bottles from them you are really getting ripped off.

    France 44 and half time are good on line retailers but you will pay for shipping and then have to go to fed x and sign for it
    France 44 had surly furious which was almost worth the shipping. But to get some harder to find beers you almost have to go on line.

    Does Halftime send an email when they ship? Thursday the website said it had shipped, but I just NOW got an email saying three of my bottles were out of stock and I'd be refunded. A tracking number sure would be nice.
