I belong to 3 different banks all with multiple branches near me so I order 6-8 boxes a week but pick them up on different days. I never have more than 1k out there at a time. Lots of drops and new pickups each day. During this 3 day venture, I had pre ordered 8 boxes and the rest was found driving from bank to bank and asking if they had any halves - I have only been turned away one time for not being a member. I got really lucky with the # of hlaves I was able to get by just walking in. Most of the time, the only way to get the halves is to order them.
