Re: [Competition Open] Cowtown Yeast Wranglers 2015
If any of you owns a small business, FedEx gives you something like 30% off for 6 months if you open an account, then they work out another deal for you. Maybe you just need to open an account and don't need to have a business. I don't know the details. I have an account. I go online, get quotes, print shipping labels and arrange pickup online, and they bill my visa card a few weeks after successful delivery.amartin wrote:I'm out again, Fedex quoted me at $50 something for entries. I'll keep my bottles aside, hopefully they'll still be good for ALES.
What categories are you guys in, I still like to watch when the results come in.
My cost for a banker’s box with 20 bottles of beer in it (10 entries) is
Fedex 2 day $89, priority overnight $101
And that’s picked up from my office in Wolfville. It’s much cheaper if you live near a depot and can take it in …but I don’t have that option.
If Keith gets his act together and get his 2 entries to me to put in the box, that increases the shipping cost by $14 only. I think I can get 12 entries in a banker's box ...just.

How many entries did you send? I can't figure out why it would have been $140?jacinthebox wrote:tracking says our box will be there Tuesday

Re: [Competition Open] Cowtown Yeast Wranglers 2015
That sounds about right then, my quote for 25lbs overnight for 101 was with the discount for having an account.jacinthebox wrote:Eric and I are sending a total of 9 entries (18 bottles)...weight was 25.5lbs. Overnight would have been $140 according to their site...5day was under $40

Re: [Competition Open] Cowtown Yeast Wranglers 2015
My beer arrived today. They tried to deliver it but the place didn't open to 10.00 am. The email said they would try again tomorrow. I called FedEx and they said they would go back today, and they did. I was worried it would sit around somewhere and freeze.

Re: [Competition Open] Cowtown Yeast Wranglers 2015
I think it will be fine. It's the heat that's the killer. I had a whole batch that was fucked up in the summer with terrible reports of oxidation and they all got very low scores. I honestly think they must have been left in the trunk of someone's car on a scorching day. Did you wrap the bottles in bubblewrap? that's a great insulator.jacinthebox wrote:Mine are due in tomorrow

I found some pictures on Keith's FB site. He's been secretly knitting away.
