Topic Wiki

This is the thread where you can ask any random question you have. Feel free to ask even the most basic questions that you otherwise might be embarrassed to ask. This is the thread for beginners, so veterans here will treat you nicely. Ask a beginner's Q in some other threads and no guarantee of that same treatment. ;)
People here want to help, so just have some patience, follow the tips below and hopefully someone will help you when they have a chance.

If you looking for a particular thread you once saw and can't find it, this is not the place to ask. Check out Help Me Find It and ask there.

How to ask a question in this thread:
Click the blue reply button at the top or bottom of the page, type your question, and click post!

Some helpful tips for eliciting answers from other members:
- Keep your question short and precise. No one wants to read a megillah.
- The more questions you ask in one post, the less likely any will be answered. People are willing to answer a question or two, but if you ask all the questions that apply to your particular issue, you're expecting to be spoonfed. Members don't like holding out the spoon, so ask accordingly.

Long post, short on pertinent details. What are you trying to load? What kind of GC are you using?

That walmart has had such a policy for years. 
The solution is to go to a different walmart, preferably one not near a DDF concentrated area.  Max load per day is $2500 per BB. 


If you have a trusted friend/ relative out of town, mail them everything and have them load it on their weekly trips to Walmart. If not, and you can hold out financially, are you going on Pesach trips to different areas?  Summer plans?

You're better of canceling before you apply.
