Favorite Whiskey?

shipping has to be real safe though... so 8.50 + $900 shipping. deal

 

It'd still arrive like this:

 

I can guarantee you that's NOT how it left us.

 

$9 shipping. You know what since we are tight I'll just give you $20 total.

I tend to like honey based things but a $900 bottle of anything is out of my reach right now.

 

oh I'm with ya on that last point... better be life changing and even then, that's rough. Better spent elsewhere. That's almost a wifi module for my pit

 

Although, shipping a bottle like that...
It'd more likely arrive like this:

 

Or at least 1/3 of the way there.

 

So they sent you a label?

 

Yep. It had an adhesive on the back, but it wasn't any stronger than what you'd get on a post-it. So the package ended up without a label somewhere, and USPS shipped me a label, lol.
The guy went good on it, though, and sent me a replacement of what I'd ordered at no cost.

 

I wonder if someone at USPS just ended up with a box of what you ordered?

 

hahaha that's a unique one for sure!

 

Yeah, I have great luck with USPS.


I ordered a bellhousing from Ebay a few years ago, and USPS bounced it around to every post office in the area (except mine) for a week before they finally got it to me. I actually was tracking it with the # from Ebay because the seller seemed kind of sketchy, and watched it go from Auburn to Lisbon to Bowdoin to Litchfield to Sabattus.

Could be. They'd probably have been disappointed, though, because it was just an old movie poster.

 

My wife ordered some stuff last week. SAME crap, went all over the place, finally made it to the town next to us then for some unknown reason went to Jacksonville before making it's way back. She wasn't pleased with them.

 

I think it's more common than you think. It's happened to me a lot. I sold a GoPro and shipped via USPS. Should have been Cal to Texas. After 10 days of bouncing to the east coast, back to California then to the mid-west and all points between I called the post office (buyer was getting anxious). Ended up talking to some inspector who said it's normal. I believe it's something about it being in a big batch that's cheaper to ship around than sending each package individually. Sooner or later the batch will get close enough and they'll pull you package.

I don't think UPS or FedEx do that, but they will sit on your package for a few days for no reason other than you paid for the cheapest shipping so they don't want to get it to you too soon. At least that's what I think.






Ok, be honest - who laughed like a 14 year old when I said they sit on your package?

 

I laughed lol.

It’s crazy if you ask me. More than anything I wish they would just keep the packages safe. It’s honestly becoming more the exception when I get a package and it doesn’t look like it’s rolled down a mountain.

 

Thank you!, Got mine.

Shall remain virgin until I open this in
October.

 

Very nice. Celebrating in October?

 

My new favorite glass!

Hmmmmm Ardbeg

 

Thanks! @Kanyon71

Broke the glass in with some home brew “whiskey” a buddy made out of a bad batch of cider of mine. Still very raw...
