If you commit to picking up a preorder, always make sure you are there on the day agreed and pick up the entire order. Nothing will get you cut off faster than not picking your entire order up on time.


Any suggestions on what to do if for some reason I am unable to pick up an order? I don't know anyone in my new hometown well enough yet to give them several hundred dollars and ask them to pick up pennies for me in the event that I can't. And I figure I'm not the only hoarder in such a situation.

Try calling them and telling them there is a problem. But, you should make every effort to pick them up in a timely fashion.

Plain and simple.

"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your council or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen."

Definately call them. Good communication is key to everything.

I'd call them, explain the situation, apologize for any inconvenience, thank them for their understanding, and then make the pick up as soon as possible.

I agree with what everyone else here says. Call so they are not sitting there waiting for you all day. You want to maintain a good relationship with the coin teller and communication is key. Let them know exactly when you will pick up the order. When you pick it up it is not a bad idea to take chocolates. Also, be sure to thank them for their understanding and the inconvenience. Be careful to not allow this situation to occur more than once. Vault tellers are usually female and you can guess how ladies feel about being stood up for a date. If the real reason you can't pick up is because you miscalculated cash flow, then cash in some of your unsorted boxes at another bank so you can pick up your order on time. Your relationship with the teller at your source bank is much too valuable to jeapordize.

If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more.

That is a great idea. Nickelless, if you were local I would help you out no problem.

LOL, I almost forgot that we were both in Owensboro when I posted this! I'm about to go on vacation but will definitely PM you if I need an order picked up. Check your PM box for a message I just sent you.
