Message sebletitje beers 11868 º places 491 º 13:28 Wed 2/11/2015 Adam, why aren’t you mailing to an APO?
Message Martinus beers 5018 º places 224 º 14:09 Wed 2/11/2015 Originally posted by AdamJackson Martinus, thanks! I was hoping to mail packages to one of the guys I’m trading with. Will check with them first...both are in BE. We should for sure have a beer @ Alvinne. NP, like I said I only offered in case that’s convenient. Heard some bad stories, maybe it’s just that.
Message trevorjk beers 1 º places 2 º 14:10 Wed 2/11/2015 Wooo. If you need a ride to ACBF. I might be able to help you out. My Wife and I will probably be heading down on Thursday before hand or early on Friday. We have to drive near Antwerp and Ghent and would have room for 1 in our tiny car :)

Why would I do that? I’m not military. Seb knows a guy that works in the AF, I think anyone can ship stuff at domestic fares from the US... Definitely would help to be friends with the person first (I don’t know who Seb knows). Technically it’s still against USPS rules to mail beer (for now anyway). It’s also against the rules to use your APO/DPO/FPO address on behalf of other people, though some do it anyway. And in theory, breaking these rules could result in a loss of privileges. But the odds of getting caught are fairly slim. (Yes we have a DPO address but don’t use it for trading anymore -- not because we care about the rules necessarily, but because we found trading to be an overly expensive hassle.)
Message tderoeck P beers 14777 º places 247 º 08:37 Wed 2/18/2015 Anyway, Adam. I’ll catch you at ACBF, I suppose? I’m going both days, tagging along with ElManana and EM+1.
