Please read the ENTIRE description if you are interested in buying one these half barrels.
The photo shows an example of the keg I will be shipping. Some of the kegs are not embossed with beer company names and some are embossed. Each keg has been thoroughly rinsed and contains no beer. The Sankey fitting is functional and the keg holds pressure. I do not accept returns on kegs. This is an auction site, not J.C. Penney or Macys or Amazon.
I do NOT use Ebay shipping for the kegs. The last order I shipped one keg for Madison WI to West Virginia. Ebay’s shipping quote was $ 109 . I shipped for $38 UPS with my third party shipper. Ebay shipping may be fine for trinkets and small electrical stuff but not for larger items weighing more than 30 lbs. Here are some examples for shipping one half barrel with my shipper.
from Madison 53717 to:
Colorado 37
West Virginia 38
LA 54
Houston 38
Cincinnati 34
If you are interested in a keg and want to know the TOTAL shipping cost before buying,then send me a message through Ebay with your zip code only. if you include other personal info it will be blocked by Ebay's AI robot. I will respond with your approximate shipping costs within a dollar or two..
Again ignore any shipping costs that Ebay shows…they are wrong. There is NO free shipping for these kegs. Ignore the USPS shipping.
Only pay for the item cost and applicable taxes and the USPS shipping cost of $8 to $10.. After you purchase, I will respond with my PayPal address or Venmo address and you will pay for the balance of shipping with PayPal or Venmo minus what you paid for the USPS shipping. The payments for Ebay and separate PayPal or Venmo payment for the balance of shipping are cumbersome but it is the only way to keep the shipping costs as low as possible. I have tried to use the Ebay shipping with the proper dimensions and weight and every time the cost is $25 and $30 dollars higher than with my third party shipper who uses UPS. As soon as you pay the shipping balance, I will box the keg, ship via UPS, and send you the tracking number. Also, as a buyer of products on Ebay, I avoid sellers who use inflated shipping costs to add to their profit. I will not do that.
