Over ten bucks APIECE to ship! :shock: Guess I haven't shipped anything in a while. Can't wait to explain that charge to SWAMBO. (UPS Store). That's way more than I spent on the whole 5-gallon batch of beer! This is turning out to be an expensive endeavor.

Made it to the UPS store at the same time as the last truck of the day so they are on the way.

No joke, I had two go out for over $15. The other one was $11. Ouch. I used to be able to send a 6-pack for $10.

I know, all of your manginas hurt. But at least the groups are geographically closer now! Some first comp participants had to ship stuff across the country. If these comps become regular with good participation - I might consider trying to open a UPS account with a negotiated rate. Then everyone can benefit from some decent shipping rates.

I really wish I hadn't looked that up! On the other hand, JP's never looked lovelier. :unicornrainbow:

Guys - Ok, I'm a douche. I've been down for almost a week with a nasty flu. My beer is carbed and ready, I just have to bottle and ship. I'll be using fedex and will try to make sure it gets to everyone by the end of the week. Will also include a few extras to make up for the douche-yness.
