Getting bottles that were in stock at the other locations was a pain for them but not undoable if you had a relationship with the rep.<br /><br />I'll be in Chicago for a couple of days at the end of the month--will probably load the trunk of the car up (though not with Ballechins).My Annoying Opinionshttp://www.myannoyingopinions.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101162324715983722.post-67601758731470902012015-09-07T19:07:06.294-04:002015-09-07T19:07:06.294-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Florinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14445344658258056628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101162324715983722.post-53653267247573623452015-09-07T19:06:54.704-04:002015-09-07T19:06:54.704-04:00Wow, that's interesting info!

I'm speculating, but it may be that the stores have the leeway to not release some of the bottles if they want to keep them for their in-store customers.Florinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14445344658258056628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101162324715983722.post-39026743761315649402015-09-04T17:49:46.478-04:002015-09-04T17:49:46.478-04:00Oops—that should have been "$80 and $75, resp...Oops—that should have been "$80 and $75, respectively."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101162324715983722.post-57009819996129517362015-09-04T17:48:42.159-04:002015-09-04T17:48:42.159-04:00It varies by store location.
