I haven't done that in years tho and I still hang onto boxes for stuff worth over a few hundred dollars... I really shouldn't though. They just take up space.

Trip report, vacuum swap was a breeze. They even offered to let me buy a new one and swap the vacuums out for a return since I bought it on sale and there was a $90 price difference. Opted to go for a cheaper model and save even more though. PBUC

I'm calling the real actual police on the fraudsters in this holy thread. There's no excuse for vacuum felony and putting it in a box with a different serial number is a serious, totally real crime. I'm disgusted.

Johnny Truant posted:Please name the "exotic" foods The one I used to go to it was easier to find vegan burgers, cauliflower crust pizza, etc than it was to find chicken strips or regular thin crust. It was in the most incredibly bougie part of town so that might explain it. Now my closest one is somewhere else, but still very far away.

I miss the 200 packs of these the Costco I used to live near had. Definitely freeze them. You can easily pop off how many you need with a butter knife then put them back in the freezer.

This was not a "Should I care if I scam a company" question, it was a "What are the logistics of doing a return" question. I think it's very helpful to point out to someone that they are doing a thing that a company might not like - it arms them with information about how to communicate about the return. If you want to box swap your grill, more power to you, but a guy asking a sincere question in the Costco thread apparently does need the help understanding that it's not a benefit to the company to turn one opened item into two opened items.

Unless you are some super-taster, you will never be able to tell its there except the color. Fun fact, Pringles uses turmeric on their cheese chips instead of food dye.
