dogcow Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 without going into the full story i have a bunch of OCS items that i had returned but they were opened and a very small amount were used. cups, coffee filter packs, cream packets, sugar, sweetener,etc.. you get the idea. now i am stuck with this stuff but i dont have any OCS accounts, the place i got it for was my only one and it didnt end up working out. now i figure even if i got another acct, i cant sell them this stuff because its been opened and i dont have any use for a case of coffee and 1500 sugar packs obviously i cant return it to sams, either any idea what i can do with this stuff? its taking up a lot of space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogcow Posted January 27, 2011 Author Share Posted January 27, 2011 yeah i had thought of that. i have a relationship with a local homeless group that takes my stuff nearing expiry. i hate to donate this stuff though because its brand new and 99% unused.

HOw about giving to one of your vending accounts? Explain to them what happened and offer to give it to them and at least get some goodwill out of your $$ loss.

tedk Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 You could talk to a local coffee truck driver, a c store or gas station with coffee. I have recovered my cost a couple of times with the first two options. Just a thought. Ted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
