Stores don’t stock extra because once Pesach is done it’s pricey inventory they can’t sell and likely can’t return to their vendors.

If supermarkets don’t have then Matzah bakeries are your best best.

Interesting situation. Are people not going to be able to bring (or pre-bring) their own because of Chametz/Pesach issues? If that’s the case then wouldn’t you have the same issues borrowing from a gemach and the like?

Gimmick. If they could get away with it the’d market them as ChametzProof^TM just to improve their sales...

@Lurker is likely looking to save money by avoiding a purchase, not get scammed into paying extra for a gimmick.

A family just got up from shiva, and are now unexpectedly all together for Pesach. CH didn't work logistically (BH large family), so they rented a big house about an hour away. I didn't ask the exact cheshbon, but this was the request and I figured I'd reach out here to see if anyone can help facilitate.

I reached out directly to the family to see if we can arrange something:)

They’re an inefficient management-heavy bureaucracy, but they certainly know how to milk what is basically their copyright on Chabad Chassidus Seforim.

Hope I don’t get in trouble with anyone for saying that.

Why not ask misaskim?

Siddurim are the #1 money makers for Kehos. As would be obvious to anyone thinking about it.
