Anyone getting schick?

[pmorse]

My commissary was told by schick that schick will only allow a few cases a month to be sent to commassaries. Is that true? is anyone ordering them now and getting them in?

[tivaclare]

I was able to get 11 cases in at once and my store is always stocked. My parents have been taking off the shelf and have gotten at least 100 that way.

My 11 cases came in after 1 day within order. It is my one and only order and I haven't done overage since December, so I was very happy for this. The fam income is down under $1500 this month so I stocked up on diapers, toilet paper, etc.

What commissary? I ask because my commissary said they can not SO these for me, that they are not in the system. My profile says KY, but we are in Texas now.

I am at Scott AFB, IL.

It's weird, when I was in NM I had a super small commissary but they were AWESOME at special orders. She was able to get me anything I wanted, with the exception of Monistat Cool Wipes. I had 0 problems for 2+ years. I ordered probably 50+ cases of Schick, St Ives Scrub and Lotion, Excedrin Trial and KY all the time when I was there. The only thing my store carried off of that list was KY.

Now that I'm at Scott we have a huge store, but if I try to order something that isn't on the shelf they tell me they can't get it. It is total BS, but it's tough to get them to budge. It doesn't help that they are impossible get track down. In New Mexico I had an email address for the gal I needed and could always get ahold of her, daily if I wanted. At Scott I have no such luck. It's a nightmare.

I'm not sure what to tell you. Tell them that you had a different experience at another commissary maybe? Sometimes it is just a lack of training on their part.

We can still order them at the PH commissary in Hawaii. You're lucky if you can get it in time before your coupons expire though! I put my s/o in 3 months ahead of time, and I STILL haven't gotten my order in (only 3 boxes), and there's only days left until my q's expire. Irritating when I know other people who are picking up HUGE orders. Urg...

generally speaking, if ANY commissary has the item you want in stock then ANY other commissary can special order the item.

**START C&P **
Do commissaries accept special orders?
Yes. Every department or section in a commissary will accept special orders. If you need a special cut of meat, a custom-decorated cake, a party tray, or want to get a case of 24 cans of dog food instead of pulling 24 cans off the shelf, you can place a special order to get what you want. Commissaries can fill some special orders almost instantly-other special orders require some advance notice. Thus, it's best to check a bit in advance of your need to find out how quickly a commissary can get what you want to order. It's also often possible for a commissary to special order items-usually in case lots only--that the commissary does not carry as part of everyday stockage. Such items might be available at another commissary located close by, or generally authorized for commissary stockage and available from a commissary's commercial supplier. In overseas commissaries, special orders can come only from within the overseas stocking list. A personal, special order cannot be made from stateside (i.e. one case of something from America to a small Commissary in Europe). If you shop at a small commissary in Europe and desire a product which is carried at a larger commissary in Europe, that item may be delivered direct to your store. To find out about special order availability and procedures at your commissary, contact commissary management during a commissary visit, or by e-mail or phone.
While at commissaries.com, you can find the location of any commissary by clicking on "Locations," then clicking on a commissary name on a map or alphabetical list, and then clicking on "Location/Phones" on the commissary web page.

if this does not work, email DECA HQ to advise you are not getting the same customer service as at your previous location.
