To those asking which MSC - If you've ever done recalls for this company, you'll know which one it is by reading the comments here. There was a (probably unintentional) hint given. I'm a little jealous, though. No locations around me. Hopefully they're posted in waves and I'll still have a chance.
I'm also surprised at how much product shoppers are finding and buying. Why did the manufacturer think it would sell so well that there's so much stock? Are there that many people that purposefully want to burn their faces off? Are we actually living the movie "Idiocracy"?

Surely after this may years of shopping you aren't using only one card for everything? I rotate cards. Gas stations will shut you down after 2-4 stops in 2 hours. You could always pay with cash.
My ONE & ONLY LOCATION today had SIXTY SIX UNITS -- count 'em --- 66 units! $659.34. So BEFORE I paid for them, I called my CC Company and explained what I was about to do, and asked that it be approved. The CC Representative notated it and then when I paid for it less than 10 minutes later, it went through with no problem. But there's NO WAY I'm doing another one of these!!! PHEW! That's a chunk-o-change!!!! I ended up packing them in 3 boxes, and will drop them off tomorrow at a FedEx location near where I'm having lunch with a friend.@Angelbug wrote:
@Cassiespark my last location was over $500. I can’t even imagine carrying $5 in cash while completing this project. I wish the company had been better prepared to distribute adequate advances.

Anyone find them still sealed in boxes? You think we have to take them back out or could we just tape boxes together and send it as one package? I had over 600.
The rep checks the retail area to make sure they have been removed and then buys the pulled units and back room stock from the store.@Paula7928 wrote:
How does this work? You are buying chips that need to be taken off the shelves?
The one (& only) store I did yesterday had 4 sealed boxes of 10 per box and 26 loose packs. By loose I mean it's a small cardboard container, about 5" long, 3" wide and 1" deep, but these are at their largest parts....the box is oddly shaped (the infamous chip must be inside the box, inside of some sort of container). So I found 3 boxes at home and got all of them in 3 boxes and printed off the labels. I left the 4 taped cases that had the 10 each inside as they were and included those in the boxes I shipped. You have to let them know how many boxes you have total, and they email you the same # of labels to match the # of boxes, so I don't think you could tape them all together and send them as one box.@MissChele wrote:

Thank you! That's helpful information! Not that I'm planning on doing any more, but others may find that helpful to know.@MissChele wrote:
I went ahead and taped four of the Paqui boxes from the same store together. The FexEx website said you could as long as the boxes were the same size. FedEx accepted it with no question.
I also got that email this morning and emailed them asking for an advance. I haven't received a reply yet, nor have I received my "standard" advance.@LindaS wrote:
I got an email from the company about 2 hours ago with instructions "If you purchase large quantities of product and want an advance for reimbursement..." The email subject line starts with "IMPORTANT NOTICE" and is from retrieve@... so check your email so you can get your out of pocket expenses reimbursed before those credit card payments come due.

When did you request your "standard" advance? For the additional advance did you request ACH? Or FedEx?

Make sure you’re using PayPal business debit card for everything. Whatever goes out for the business comes back to PayPal plus you get cash back. That’s how I do it.

Apparently not. I just researched the forum using the words retrieval and retrieve and this is the only thread that comes up.
