My wife said we've received the package. I'll post the contents tonight when I get home. I'm looking forward to it!

@GATraveller If i don't get a response from my Elftser i would be bummed out somewhat but it was a lot of fun shopping around for sauces n stuff. I sent out my package and its estimated to arrive Saturday 7/9.Austin, Tx

Me too. I get more of a kick out of shopping for the stuff than receiving it so yea.....kinda bummed. Giving them the benefit of the doubt thus far thinking maybe they don't get into the office often.bgeaddikt said:@GATraveller If i don't get a response from my Elftser i would be bummed out somewhat but it was a lot of fun shopping around for sauces n stuff.

I ran into the same issue. @cazzy emailed him and he said he was out of the country, but I have a feeling he is not planning on actually shipping anything out. I was really looking forward to trying some new sauces and rubs. I don't think I will be doing it again next year. :(GATraveller said:Per UPSP tracking my package was delivered to Denver, CO on July 1st @ 4:25pm but no response......... -
@Mclayborn79 If you don't receive anything i'd be more then glad to send something your way and find another excuse to visit butcher shops/BBQ stores. I'm sure others on here can pitch in/relate if that were the case.Austin, Tx

Don't give up on this swap based on this one bad experience. The exchange is a lot of fun and usually goes off without a hitch. Hate that the person who got you in the draw left the country......I'd have sat out if it was me. Hopefully they'll make it totally worth the wait and blow you away with their generosity (hint hint)....Mclayborn79 said:I ran into the same issue. @cazzy emailed him and he said he was out of the country, but I have a feeling he is not planning on actually shipping anything out.

I'm still waiting on my package to arrive as well. I'm not worried about it though. If I remember correctly in the history of the exchange there has only been one time someone didn't send out a package. The folks around here tend to come through in spades for this every year.

My wife sent this picture of the package that was sitting by the mail box. It appears the post office put it in the plastic bag. I will unpack the box and take inventory after work.

I can tell you that mine is in the US and is at least at the state sorting facility now. I have the tracking # memorized now so I just check from time to time.
I hope it arrives better than the box of human feet pictured above. Sorry to see that @JRWhiteeMt Elgin Ontario - just a Large. -
Looks like that box got into a fight with a forklift @JRWhitee. Sorry to hear that for both you and the person who took the time to put the package together and ship it.

Good to know. Thanks for the update Cazzy!

Big shout out to @abpgwolf
Awesome package. I can't wait to get in to those pickles and the Chow Chow. It all looks delicious and love the Tshirt. Thanks Brian!

Seems like people go way over the 35 dollar minimum. I'm glad I didn't try to participate this year (the timing wasn't right to get things together) I think I would have felt guilty if I had aimed for $35.
Everyone seems incredibly generous and us and those packages just look amazing.Edmonton, Alberta - XL & Minimax -

@matoch, just as people are generous in giving they are also generous in receiving. If you sent me a single $2 bottle of rub I'd just be grateful that you took the time to buy and send it. There's no sense getting uptight about any of this.

Super stoked to unbox this awesomeness last night! Thanks to @Angus1978 for the great selection and I'm a huge hot sauce fan! You killed it!
Thanks again!

@JRWhitee - so what was actually in the box you got? The suspense is killing me!

@JRWhitee ^^this! Interested as well. Hopefully there's something in there to get you through the rough times of painting after you turn the Home Depot sample on the counter into a full fledge gallon.In other news, it's awesome seeing the generosity in this. I'm looking forward to participating in my first next year. I already have a list started of local joints I've been to that will be in the package

Thanks for the package Dave Roberts, fortunately is was only one Jar that didn't survive the shipment. I did receive a nice supply of sauces and one Dizzy Pig Ghost rub that I will be trying on wings in the near future. Thanks @Cazzy for putting this on.

The Trifecta (white label) is good stuff. I got a jar from @dldawes1 last year.

Seems I have been rewarded twice from this this exchange. First I received the expected package from @Big_Green_Craig which I have been putting to good use then I received a package from @Richard Fl who is the guy I sent my gift to
Richard called me and we talked for 20 minutes or so after he got the spices and he just wanted to pass on some of his favorites.
Another friend in another place. I'm a lucky guy
