You can still do the community a favor and leave realistic trade feedback for the guy. He followed through but it wouldn't hurt to note that he took a while.
As someone who trades occasionally I would like to know that
I still stand by my statement.
Mexibilly I again apoligize for all the trouble. I completely own up to my mistakes and won't give any excuses. I failed on coming through with a trade. I failed and fully expect you to leave honest feedback. I have had plenty of good trades in the past and hate being a guy that makes people wonder if there going to get there beer. It's bull****.

The Beers
Is that all the beer you received? I sent three boxes there should have been a growler of mexican IPA and a few others.

Can you make with the screen name of this idiot already and save some of us the misfortune of dealing with him.
He(or she) has in no way done anything to deserve anonymity. If they conduct themselves in a manner like this when trading beer it deserves to be known by the community. If someone decides to trade with them(hopefully most are smart enough not to), at least they will do it with the knowledge of what they are likely in for.
This is a text book example of how not to trade beer.

I hope that like most PORN movies, this saga culminates in a happy ending for everyone.
This entire event has made me want to drive over to IN and give Mexibilly a hug, and beer. A hug by itself would have just been weird.
@Xpertskir: Maybe calling the guy an idiot was a bit harsh, IMHO. We still do't know exactly what caused the delay, nor is it any of our business. And based on prior reviews, the participant did follow through and has vowed to make it right with this trade. Is that an excuse? Maybe, but it is also an explanation.
I think that this thread should serve a higher purpose of reminding everyone of some of the basic guidelines of trading:
1. Communication is key. If you commit to trade, you commit to communicate. I think a lot of the fluster in this transaction happened because of a communication failure. Even a quick note would have helped a lot.
2. For larger trades, maybe exchange phone numbers. I have stayed in contact with people that I have traded with, and its fun for those spur of the moment times when you send something you came across just because. Plus, it only takes a moment to text something like "hey, I have your beer, here is a pic, but I wont get to FedEx until _____. Is that cool?"
3. Don't agree to ship anything you are not willing to lose. I know that sounds wrong, but a lot of things can happen, such as lost packages, broken bottles, and rip-offs. This is the internet after all, so if you would be really bummed about losing a shipment, then either (a) don't trade, (b) trade small, or (c) work out an intermediary with someone you trust to hold both boxes and then ship to final destination.
4. This may be the second most important, but pack your shipment like it will last through the apocalypse. The first shipment I did I underestimated the ability for the selected parcel carrier to completely annihilate the box and its contents. Luckily, only 1 12oz broke, but I still felt like crap. Now I package everything like it is going to be delivered by that one guy from Youtube who drives by the house at 30mph and chucks the box out of the side, off the mailbox, and into the road. Now I laugh when FedEx asks me if my shipment is packed well, because I know why they are asking. They don't care about fragile stickers.
5. Understand that this is a hobby for most of us. So make sure that you (a) understand that sometimes life gets in the way, and (b) that a lot of happiness is generated by receiving a shipment. We have all been there when we have a death in the family, an unexpected personal emergency, or a work issue. With communication, I would imagine that most people would be reasonable enough to understand that. And if they are not, send them their package anyway, and then sign them up for embarrassing things that they would have to explain to their significant other. But also understand that the best part about trading is receiving something that you would likely never have been able to experience but for the trade. It's like Christmas for adults, and us adults get excited with anticipation.
I hope that like most Disney movies, this saga culminates in a happy ending for everyone.
