Message acertain beers 249 º places 5 º 07:01 Sun 1/1/2006 I just looked at the tracking info for a package I shipped, and it read "Local delivery restriction, delivery not attempted." Has anybody seen this before? Does it mean they figured out what was in the box? Thanks. Andrew
Message TheBeerSommelier 08:11 Sun 1/1/2006 You’ll hear about it either way. Either they’ll call you, or the package will end up back on your stoop. If that happens, do what I do to get them to reship for free: tell them you’re a brewer and that they’re specialized "yeast samples," being sent to another brewer for propagation (I love that word) and brewing use. Combine it with indignation and it works every time.
Message JohnC P beers 3007 º places 164 º 12:00 Mon 1/2/2006 If you haven’t already, call them. Don’t wait for them to contact you; that could take days. In my experience, they can give you more information on the phone than what’s on their website. If the person you’re talking to doesn’t have sufficient info, ask to speak to someone else (like a manager).
Message TheEnemy beers 564 º places 43 º 16:53 Sat 1/7/2006 Did you ever figure out what the issue was? How was it resolved, if at all?

Message Oakes P admin beers 30670 º places 1135 º 18:27 Sat 1/7/2006 You can’t deliver alcohol to some states, and not at all to Canada. So if that state is on the "no booze" list and it gets found out, it won’t be delivered. It’s a dice roll, but at least within the US you don’t have the extra risk of customs agents looking inside.
Message kramer 21:28 Sat 1/7/2006 That box was mine, and it was delivered safely with no apparent signs of it being opened. The actual delivery date for the package fell on a Saturday, and it was going to my business. I’m thinking that maybe because I don’t have "normal" business hours on Saturdays that they just thought they wouldn’t get there in time. I wasn’t there when it was delivered or I would have asked the delivery guy what it meant. So who knows, but don’t get scared if that message pops up on their tracking log. Next time I get a delivery from them I’ll ask.
Message TheEnemy beers 564 º places 43 º 21:40 Sat 1/7/2006 Welp, glad it got there OK

Home deliveries do happen on Saturday (maybe because they are already adding $2 for home delivery) but not on Mondays. Of course I am only talking about FedEx ground.
