A day late...Looks like I have a company trip to RI or Ma. in the week or so. I could have driven it to Springfield, Il if your guy would'a met me.Glad to see that you found a good and fairly inexpensive way to get it there.

And today is the day for "delivery"... waiting with anticipation to hear how this went!

I just shipped a 6er of homebrew to my Dad via USPS flat rate box. I paid and printed online b/c it's cheaper and you get free confirmation and when I dropped it off I told them it's liquid and its homemade root beer for fathers day. He replied "Are you sure there's a root in the front?" then took the packageI probably didn't have to say anything since I printed the label online...

If I KNEW a nice Kolsch was coming... I wouldn't even go take a dump unless I had someone there to cover for me until I got back!

That normally means the next day too and since its friday that should be monday. Oh the suspense is building. How did your friend not wait around for his precious delivery?

He can go pick it up at the terminal after the truck returns this afternoon/evening.

They usually require 2 attempts before they will let you do that.

They let me do it after one attempt, last year when I wasn't home when my phone arrived.

Yeah, they let me do it when I got my repaired xbox 360 back

The suspense is building, knowing Dave he is probably in another state doing an install, or f-ing around fishing or hunting something fun. I emailed him saying I am losing sleep until he physically touches it, I probably wont here from him until a week from now when it is half drank.

any update?

any update?

Just got off the phone with him, nobody could get to the shop to sign for it until tomorrow, so he will be calling me as soon as he has it in his hands. Oh the agony of suspense!

The UPS guys are drinking it right now...

Thats right, the secret of the package is probably out. Your friend might get the keg but it might be empty already too.

I don't understand this. I would make this a priority if it were me. The sooner it is out of UPS' hands the better - for a variety of reasons.

I have to agree for me anytime I know a package is getting delivered here I am chomping at the bit to get it. Now I know your friend might be a busy man but its not often a full keg is shipped like was done and if it were me I would have made every attempt to be available for this delivery too. Yes keeping it warm can't help either.

In hindsight, it might have been better to ship it to his home and allow them to leave it at his front door, without requiring a signature.
