@Franicia I was able to log in to the Frontier Coop Wholesale website. They must’ve updated their system after we started our account. We had been trying to log in to the regular website rather than the wholesale side.

@Franicia The password and login information is correct now in 1P.

@Tim Thank you for checking on those things, Sweetheart! I look forward to getting ungated in groceries! I know that’s something we were wanting to work towards but weren’t sure if and when we were taking the right steps to do that while also waiting for sufficient funds.
@Tim Do you know what time zone Frontier Coop operates on?
t
@Franicia I called and updated our address. It may take a couple of days before the address change is reflected.

@Franicia Our address is now correct in the Frontier Coop system. Do we need to order 10 things from them in order to be ungated? Does it need to be 10 of the same things?

@Tim Let me check if it is 5 or 10 things.

@Tim It would be 10 items.

@Tim On February 3 in the Replens FB group, Tony Horton wrote: “Tony R. Horton February 3 Finally! I am ungated in Grocery & Gourmet Foods! Thank you to Doug Hampshire for this post (https://bit.ly/2tqPmez) describing how he got ungated--Doug inspired me to follow a similar process. 1. Last week Wednesday I joined Frontier Co-op Wholesale store as a non-member. 2. I downloaded their pricelist spreadsheet and sorted by ascending item price. I found two different seasoning packets that cost about $1 each and ordered 12 of each. I also selected two different bars of soap in the Topicals category that cost about $1 and added 10-12 of each to my order. 3. I placed the order on Thursday, the total cost plus shipping was about $60. 4. I received the order on Saturday. 5. On Sunday evening I logged in to sellercentral to add the items I had ordered to my inventory. I applied to both the Topicals subcategory and the Grocery & Gourmet Foods category using the same invoice. I photographed the paper invoice that was included in the shipment. I did not add any comments or mark it in any way. In the online application form I did add the comment “Note item number xxxx on the attached invoice” to help them connect the item listed on the invoice to the corresponding asin. I also submitted the required product photographs, which I had taken with my iphone. 6. On Monday morning I received notification that I’d been approved in Grocery & Gourmet Category. Yay! My application for Topicals is still under review. 7. Let me know if I can help any of you who want to get ungated. I’ll be happy to share any information with you. ”

@Franicia Frontier Coop sent me a link to their price list, sale list, and out-of-stock list. These can be viewed/downloaded here: https://wholesale.frontiercoop.com/datafeeds.html

@Tim That’s great that Frontier Coop sent that link to you! Did you request for it?
t
@Franicia Yes, I requested that from them yesterday.

@Franicia The Frontier catalog, sale prices, and out-of-stock or discontinued items is in this spreadsheet. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Uo9kNIh553genABlNEVNxOmLcsUgikA4Urd6Ij6W9ig/edit#gid=2002941710

@Tim Thank you!

@Franicia Should I try to get ungated in both grocery and topicals like the guy above?
f
@Tim Sure! I guess it’s better to be ungated for both, but I’m not sure. What do you think?
t
@Franicia I agree.

@Tim It’s been almost two years since we discussed getting ungated in groceries and topicals. I know we’ve learned a lot more since then and have access to more trainings and material to learn this process. It would be a great idea to do this. I wonder if certain food and supply shortages would make this helpful for everyone.

@Franicia That sounds like a great idea to get ungated. Let me look into this again. I downloaded their current specials and full price list. Did you have anything in mind that we should order?

@Tim Thank you, Sweetie! Do you think we should go with the cheapest items?
t
@Franicia I think that we should balance the less-expensive with highest discount.

@Tim I had issues tonight trying to access Frontier Coop. It wants my pw, but I didn’t start my own account and don’t know the pw. Something else wasn’t going right with that because I’m invited as a shopper and the link expired. Also, I tried to sign in using your own maolek email address, but it didn’t recognize it or something and locked us out temporarily.
