Just a side note on my dealio here and why I am doing this...
The UK guy is a friend who sent me beer in a trade we agreed upon and his is on the way. But my shipment to him got held up and returned to me (in tact) in one day but I had to eat the shipping costs. I am a bit skiddish on trying to ship again--I have plenty experience with shipping but overseas is different because unlike the Usa, they really will check if its beer in there and deny you. So bringing it as luggage remains my only option and I do owe him back.
The Aussie one is a friend from college who lives in Sydney now and I am just trying to give him great beers he misses.
That is why I need all this. I am getting many pms for beer trades and would love to do those at some point but my main focus is to ship these boxes overseas.
