My suggestion probably won't help you achieve the goal for the year, but it may help out in the long run. Provided they don't have any crazy fees for having an account, I would open an account at whichever of the last three banks has the most branches in your area. I know for some people it has worked to tell the bank in advance what you want to do, ordering boxes, but I also know a lot of banks don't like it so I would not tell them. Once you open the account, I would not start ordering boxes right away, but stop by each branch once maybe twice a week and ask for some rolls (no more than 10-20 rolls at a time). After about a month or so, once the tellers are used to you coming in, then I would place an order for a box (only one or two boxes). I would try this at each branch, but only order at one branch per week. I would do that for a few months and see how it works. If they seem fine with that, then you can try to up your orders if you want. </p><p><br /></p><p>This seems to work okay for me. 3 of the 5 banks in my area haven't given my any issues ordering boxes, so I just try not to over due it with them.
