EU Summer Santa

Sadly yes… I use boxes from where I order beer from and they always carry a logo or some advertising… but I’m doing it for over 10 years that way and never was a box stolen…

If DHL wouldn’t be so expensive (31.99€ instead of 18.99€) I would use them anytime. Their service is great and they deliver very fast here.

I still can’t understand how they can lose a package when it has tracking. What’s the point of tracking then?! In Estonia I would make a complaint to the Consumer Protection Board, I’m sure you have similar agency? If nothing else, they should at least pay you back that 18.99E as the package wasn’t delivered…

The parcel at Hermes is secured up to 500€ - so I had to fill out a form with the contents and the value and normally will get back the money hopefully within the next half year… But this takes time…

I finally have received a parcel, thanks Santa for resending! Look forward to opening it this evening!

Sorry for the delay in updating, been busy!

I received a fantastic box from Gabriel (Erzengel) on Wednesday filled with 20(!) beers of all kinds and fitting very well with my likes off low ABV, well made beers and local styles. Lots of lovely goses and berlinner weisse.



In addition lots of extra gifts, honey, biscuits (very tasty) chocolate lime toffees, jelly sweets and cheese (how did you know!?) ooh and some bottles of undaberg bitters.

All very well packed, great selection, thank you for taking the effort to resend after Hermes fucked up.

Had the helles and the regular Schneeule last night, both delicious.

Excellent to see this has finally arrived after a Hermes cockup!

Final package is on the road

Should write to their CEO or suchlike. My father-in-law does this whenever he has an issue with a company.

For everyone interested, I’ve started another local swap sign up thread: European Local Swap 3/2018 - Sign up

I guess that is @vami :wink:

great that it finally all worked out - is that everyone now Santa?

Should be everyone indeed. Thanks again Santa! And thanks everyone for participating!

Oh and Sabine, I was your Santa of course! :wink: Will you leave me trade feedback :pray: ? @McTapps

Yes. That was me. Sorry Tom for being so late, but first UPS lost the package and then DPD destroyed another one… This was my third attempt. Good that it`s there.

DPD “destroyed” a package? Like, on purpose or accidentally? It’s not illegal to ship alcohol anywhere within Europe, is it? Hope you’ll get reimbursed for those packages, that really sucks.

No no, just two bottles broke :slight_smile: They sent the rest back but they double charged me!

Wow. Not gonna use DPD in the near future. That’s some nerve.

Yes that’s it finally. Thanks to everyone for taking part! So long and thanks for all the fish

Sucks. Big up for coming through! Awesome!

Hi Santa (Vami),

nice to know who my santa is!

No problem, it was well worth the wait!
I find it particularly annoying for you that it took so much effort!

Thanks again for the great package!

Cheers! Tom
