European Local Swap 3/2018 - pairings & hauls

Left feedback to @rauchbierlover. Just mentioning this so anyone who might be too busy drinking the beers they received and meanwhile forgot about feedback (@TomHendriksen did you think of this already? :wink: ) get a slight notification to thank their sender ! :wink:

I just had the first two beers and thoroughly enjoyed them!

Hoping for my boxes to arrive safely. Kinda worried. Box I shipped a week earlier -within the Netherlands even!- was damaged by DPD and sent back to me. Repacked it this afternoon. Hoping for the best but if not I’ll find a solution for @Taboada and @herrklemann to compensate.

No worries my friend. It shows as “onderweg” with no irregularities up until now. :slight_smile:

Today I’ve received a well-packed box of Finnish beers thanks to @Hermod.

From left to right:

Many thanks fro the trade and cheers!!!

:beers:
Wasn’t me though.

Strange that I need to read it here. As the courier did not leave any notes on the delivery attempts. I will try to pick it up monday.

True, sorry @Sebilinz. Have already had some beers that evening :grin:

@RW80
Thought things like that would only happen in Germany. Haven’t had your mail address when sending and driving to Gulpener brewpub and therefore sending the package from NL was spontaneous so I used my mail address.

No new hauls? ?

Quite a slow Swap this time around indeed…

@Benzai I have just received a message about my/your parcel. Expected shipping day: Thursday.
I will keep you informed.

Fingers crosed for safe delivery…

Box was sent a week ago to Theydon_Bois, last update was at Thursday from Cologne. Time to get nervous or is this normal when sendig to Britain?

Mine’s at the distribution center in my city. It’s either already on the way here without an update in the tracking (happens sometimes with this parcel service) or will be delivered tomorrow morning at the latest. :slight_smile:

Yes, this swap seems to take its time. There are 2 or 3 parcels which may be returned to sender (!), there’s one that will be sent in a couple of days, the status of two are still unknown to me (missing tracking details on many more btw), there are three delivered or about to be delivered and four more in transit.

But we’ll have time until Santa comes along…

the tracking info of my box to rouhlas tells me that it is “damaged”, “could not be delivered” and that it’s on its way back to my parents (which is where I sent it off from). This might take a while until it makes its way down to Greece…

This is exactly what happened to the box I shipped just prior to shipping of to @herrklemann and @taboada. They really play football with those boxes nowadays it seems… Fingers crossed indeed… Hope not too much damage. Mine had two broken bottles. Repacked, dded 2 new bottles and shipped again though this time in a thicker box with extra tape.

the curious fact is that 100% of the shipping damages I have ever had in my life happened while the boxes were in Austria.

Yes … I mailed you this morning to this effect.

I’m a little worried about the delay but the weekend did fall after it was logged in Koln so hoping that has played a part.

I plan to ship my box to @japppp on Thursday.

My dispatch has been delayed because of breakage on beer I had ordered in for japppp which I then had to wait for replacements on.
