Hey everyone, So, I'm out dumping at 2 banks today and I go to the first one with 3 boxes rerolled ( needed some fast cash) to dump. Hang on, I'm getting a head of myself here.
Let me start by telling you guys that I am a curtious hunter, and what I mean by that is, that I take every step I can to try and make it very difficult for a repack box to get put back into the system. Now I know everyone does it differently, and I DON'T FAULT ANYONE FOR THAT, there are some things I disagree with, but that is my problem not yours. I don't slit the rolls on the side and tape them back up, I never reuse the MWR's, and I never dump cube boxes to a cube box suplied bank and vise versa. Now, again, I have said this in the past and have no shame in saying it again, if you are one of the people that try and decieve everyone by purposely rolling the Mwr's back down so as to make it look like it hasn't been searched, then I have no patients for you, you are guaranteeing a repack getting into the system again. I understand some just fold the end back over, and I would do the same too, at least the bank would know they are searched and break them open to bag them and ship them out.
Now, that said, I allways use CWr's to reroll my boxes ( when I don't use bags) and do other things to try and make it difficult for the box to skip the hopper at the carriers facility, I always take an extra minute at my house to turn my boxes inside out before I pack them so they are just a plain brown box when I walk in the bank with them, after a time or 2 off the teller noticing the writing in the inside of the box and asking if this is the box they came in I decided to take another extra minute at my house and just shoot the inside of the box with spray paint ( just enough to cover the words " 500 Halves"), again to stop them from just sending the box back to the carrier instead of bagging them up. It got to be a little smelly so, now what I have been doing is taking a peice of duct tape and taping it over the writing on the box and ripping it back off to pull the words off of the box.
OK, so back to the bank story now, so I get to the counter with the boxes and the teller begins to help me, has my 1500 in her hand and walks away for a minute, then comes back with the head teller ( I guess to show her the boxes and ask what to do with them) the head teller looks at me and says " Don't bring your boxes in like this anymore, stop turning them inside out!" So I say to her, "Don't you ladies just bag these up anyway and send them out?" Head teller" No, I don't do that, it's too much trouble, I need them turned the right way so I can just send them back like that, I need it to say 500 on the outside!" So I explained to her that I'm not going to do that because I am a target walking in here with boxes that say $500 Halves written all over them, so , sorry, not going to happen! I also told her that that was funny because all the other branches that I bring them into don't care about the box because they break them open and put them in bags ( though I'm beginning to wonder how many are actually doing it now) and ship them out loose.
So, I know that some people could careless about detouring the boxes from getting back into the system, but It seems to be getting more and more often now, if some haven't noticed, that these are showing up. So these are some of the things that I do to try and stop these boxes from getting shipped back out. I would suggest that maybe try 1 or some of these things if you can, I'm just saying that the banks are bypassing the system and thus letting the carriers do the samething. If it is as simple as turning your box inside out, just try it, it is 1 more road block from them just shipping the box back out, if you think your bank is bagging them up then try the inside out box trick and see if they say anything to you, if they do, then you know they are just shipping them right back out. Now some of you won't care, and thats fine, but those that do hopefully will try one of these ideas. So tell me what you think ( be nice please), and maybe offer an idea or share something you do if you also try and detour the repacks.
Out of 15 + branches I use to dump, this is a far away branch that I use maybe twice a month to dump, they are also the only branch that has ever said anything to me. I have been turning my boxes inside out for about 7 months now. I may just bring them to this branch in a completely different kind of box now and see what she has to say them.
Sorry so long winded on this guys. I don't want this to turn into a flame war! Just tell me what you think about what the teller said and offer up an idea if you do something different. It is apparent that she is poisoning the system with repacks, and requesting me to help her out in doing it just pissed me off. HH, Maverick.
