the post has always been an issue for the cup. back in Amsterdam, we were losing 4 or 5 entries every year in the last years.
sometimes the post man says they delivered it, but they actually stole it. STRAND was telling me it's a known problem. i know that sourkush who was in charge of entrants this year, was going to the post right up to the 18th of April to try and find every pack that was still missing. he was getting the host to run around, we had noreason trying too. so i can say we did our due diligence to try and make it happen for all entrants, specially cases like your mate and one uk guy whos packs were actually on time. thats why we were ready to add them to the packs even if they had come only on the 18th. but the whole week was a holy holiday week, so the post wa probably not operating at 100%. sadly one from UK also didnt make it, even though the other entry from the same guy did make it. crazy! sometimes mail will disappear for a few weeks or a month and then show up. but this is out of our hands, the sender is the one who makes or breaks the shipment.
basically what gets entered and what makes it through the mail is out of our hands. btw sending stuff internally is easy, it's the international stuff specially outside schengen thats harder. even so, 2 missing packs from 110 entries isn't all that bad imo. but yes, i want to create a document or find one that gives people some good tips and methods to ship.
some people, i won't name names, actually brought their entries along in their suitcase lmao. old head for sure that one.....
but of course thats why you have a lot of local entries, much easier to enter if you can just hand in your entry on the way to the office or something lol.
Just seemed odd to me that I recognized many of the judges but not a single entrant. I figured it was local.
Did any entries from the US get delivered successfully? How about entries from outside Spain?
In a way I think members from the US have given up because their weed never seems to make it to the competition.
It would be great if you guys could work out some kind of solution for this.
The mail and package delivery services move insane amounts of weed successfully daily here in the US so there must be a solution in Europe for secure delivery.
I talked a member here into entering some really great cookies this year and the post there tried to deliver but no one at the addy accepted the package or went to pick it up from the post the following week.
Pretty wild how close the scores were in most categories this year, barely any difference in the top entries scores.
How about a US cup over here in a recreational state like Mass where there are private clubs that could host or Michigan.
I'm not saying end the one over there, just one for us over here.
If you had one in Cali you could actually get permitted and make money on it. Not to mention drive new membership.
