How many boxes do you go through in a month?

Im currently doing just 8 boxes per month or two per week. Ive only been at it for a month but I enjoy it so much I wish I had found this hobby years ago.

I ask this because I wonder if there is some kind of problem the big guys experience that some of us "hobbyists" dont see....

How do you keep the dumb banks happy or at least willing to let you continue to use them?

Thanks in advance.

Two boxes a week is enough for this hobby. Don't get greedy! Otherwise the bank will either charge a fee and close your account. I do 4 to 8 boxes a week but I also buy chocolate for tellers. I never order more than 4 boxes from one single bank. I saw how the armor truck driver deliver my halves. Less than 4 boxes is more convenient for the driver to handle. Anything more than 4 boxes means the driver will have to lift twice (100lbs each) from his truck to his trolley or two trips back forth between his truck to the bank. Be considerate and keep having fun for a long time.

I was up to 15 a week but cut back to 10. Dumping is the only real problem. I would do 4-8 a day if I could find a willing dump source. As it stands I spread my dumps across 4 to 6 banks and only dump as much as I can carry in 1 trip. One of my dump banks recently imposed a $500 limit. it seems the writind on the wall is slowly encroaching.

4-6 a week, depending on if my orders go through. As many on here have been saying, dumping is becoming an issue. I may cut back to 2 a week.

It is very hard to predict guess our best was about 42, but it more oft than not because of Murphy's Law usually works out to be about 18 to 20 sometimes more and sometimes less. This month we have hit 25 so far and next 2'sday if Murphy can be stumped (chained to it) we will add 11 to that total, if not 6 should arrive, if his chain is not too long, making, well you can add and figure things are very fluid here. Oh so far we have had in our 25 Boxes this month only 311 Silvers.
