    where are you getting 60cm x 60cm x 60cm?

    can't see any box size mentioned here.....

    https://www.brewdog.com/uk/the-headliners-48-x-can

    24 cans is Dimensions - (L) 401mm x (W) 266mm x (H) 116mm.

    from here https://www.beerboxshop.co.uk/trade-and-self-delivery-boxes/single-wall-can/24-can-trade-self-delivery-box-330ml/#:~:text=Our%200201%20style%20single%20wall,266mm%20x%20(H)%20116mm.

    so 48 would be 40cm x 27cm x 23cm -> within parcel wizard size so no extra charge?

    Parcel Wizard. I copied that text verbatim from their website

    ok.

    just that I go the impression from reading your mail that the 48 cans would incur those extra charges.

    by my research on can pack dimensions it should come in with no surcharge for 48 cans

    I dont know if it will or wont come within the allowable weight/dimensions but in any case it will likely be on the limit of those restrictions. I was just curious as to what the overweight/oversize charges were in the event that I would have to pay.

    Fingers crossed they'll be within the limits though

    Speaking of trying to get booze from the UK

    Red Breast 12 year old is 35 pounds on amazon. It’s normally 60-63 euro in the shops

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/Redbreast-Single-Still-Irish-Whiskey/dp/B00IXL998C/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=redbreast+12+year&qid=1591703786&sprefix=red+breast+12&sr=8-2

    I’m half tempted to chance ordering it to parcel wizard or address pal

    They are checking every amazon parcel coming in these days.

    I’ve ordered shoes, books, dog toys, all kinds of stuff and the boxes have been opened

    Do they email if it's alcohol or how do you find out they aren't delivering?

    Got two bottles via Addresspal. A subsequent order (of another 2 bottles) was stopped and sent back to sender (so I got a refund on them- about a fortnight later from Amazon). Wish there was some way of getting them sent here reliably. I always choose the 'gift option' (aka they put the box in a box- so its not possible to see whats in the package)- the regular option blatantly states that its alcohol not for sale to under 18s..........

    Another good whiskey option from Amazon (if you have some manner of getting it shipped) is

    15 Year Old Glenfiddich @ £32 a bottle here

    Very pleasant single malt Scotch- slightly fruity, its finished in port casks, very pleasant after-taste.

    Normally EUR65 a bottle in Celtic Whiskey here

    I won't use Parcel Motel again. A package of 2 x 1L bottles of Bombay Sapphire was checked into the depot, never left it and I was told that it was "lost in their network" and never received the goods! AddressPal are decent and should return-to-sender if they block it so you should get a refund.

    Parcel Motel is gone to sh*t alright.

    Every box I get from them now is ripped open and left in an awful state which is infuriating if you’re ordering a gift for someone and I’ve heard on a number of occasions of things going missing or showing up broken.

    I’m not just referring to alcohol in the above by the way- it’s everything that seems to pass through parcel motel these days

    I had something delivered recently which Parcel Motel themselves said was lost 6 weeks previously:D. I think the mass of online deliveries, due to you know what :mad: has really disrupted courier systems across the board, no matter from what source:(

    Similar for me. I only use Parcel Wizard. Package showed up long after I had given up on it. It seems my package was wrongly delivered to Parcel Motel not Parcel Wizard. They are on the same street in Belfast apparently. Eventually someone somewhere figured it out and it was delivered to me

    Craft Central have Eight Degrees Citra 440ml in their 4 for 10, which is pretty decent, so a crates worth works out at 60 quid. Saving of 20 quid if you were buying direct from Eight Degrees.

    Is there a reason they are checking everything?

    Their is an active thread for Parcel motel/wizard etc in the couriers forum for issues with their service. This thread is big enough without that, not to mention any issues with importing.

    Back on topic please

    I was keeping an eye on the Guinness too.
    Have a screenshot of it saying it's meant to be on from today until July sometime.. but it seems they have moved the goalposts yet again.

    Usually they end an offer early but this is the first time I noticed them promising an offer and not even starting it then

    Just left Lidl Bray (third lidl store in a hunt of hammock on a stand) and thought the Carlsberg was good value.
    20 x 300ml bottles for 17.99

    Heineken was 20 x 300ml bottles for 21

    Edited to say I must have read the boxes wrong, I don't think they come in 300ml bottles, must be 330ml bottles

    The Heineken are 330ml.
    Recently lidl had a lot of Heineken x24 of 365ml for €25. That was very nice deal.

    It's worth noting that the case of 20 x 330ml gives you 20 x 30 ml = 600ml extra or the equivalent of 2 extra bottles compared to the case of 20 x 300ml.

    Ultimately though it's down to taste and you should buy the beer you prefer to drink.

    Luckily for me I like both :).
