Technically no. But if someone makes a big deal out of it we can just make our representatives "handle" them, that or vote someone into office who will. Purchase away! (just kidding, these are typically old stock and not worth the money over emergency rations or freeze dried)

for the same price or even better, there are much better products out there other than MRE's. figure you are paying 60-120 per case which is $5-$10 per meal. In this case you are not getting what you pay for, for the most part these are near expiration or expiring. There are MFG's that are selling their dehydrated foods for penny's on the meal by comparison and the shelf life is 25 years. If you are investing in your future for bad day, week, or month. Invest wisely, so it is there when you need it. Just saying. I love MRE's (retired military) but it is really doubtful you will get what you are expecting, wanting, and or needing. for the same price or even better, there are much better products out there other than MRE's. figure you are paying 60-120 per case which is $5-$10 per meal.

It appears to be illegal for companies to sell in large quantities in the US without pasteurizing...http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=dailytip&dbid;=324 I just read up on this myself. I'm interested in the answer, as well...

Not sure but I doubt it. I've seen merchants do this when they don't want to sell it but for some reason they're leaving it posted while adjustments are being made. I personally think such practices are unethical.

As far as I know, no seller should be able to sell for less than $59.95. So technically this seller is selling the product at an illegal rate. The product is amazing so I'm glad it is getting into the hands of more people, however, they should not be selling this product for less than the retail price. You can purchase at wholesale price from the company if you are signed up as a preferred customer, but you can't sell it for less than the retail price. You can't have the transition coaching unless you sign up as a distributor or pay $35 a month to the 3rd party coaching company (micronutrientsupport.com). Not sure why this is allowed. It is killing our business where we actually keep the rules and sell it at retail price. That's why I'm frustrated.

They can sell for any price they want. And you can purchase or not. Just order it from another vendor.Its a great teamaker. Personally, I would purchase the larger version. I find it more versitile.

The item is genuine US Military but it had been previously issued. Some are new that are sold but the condition is so good it is like new for a great deal less money. Being prior service, this is what I am used to so I am very happy with the one that I purchased.

9140 is a professional model to be sold in a dental office. It is against Amazon rules for anyone to sell this model. That was banned last year. You should report this seller for breaking the rules and trying to take advantage of buyers

I dont know for sure but if you ask the guys that are selling it they can help you out. They answered all my questions really quick and they were very helpful.

Arshad, It's a restricted use product meaning it's not for sale to individuals unless you're a certified pest control operator. This isn't for all states; just a couple like NY and CT. To confirm what I'm saying, you can contact your local DEC office and ask. You can also go to their website and retrieve the .pdf they keep on line of every registered product for the state. On that list they include if the product is restricted or not and when you look this one up, you'll see it's listed as restricted. Now I also know there are other merchants who don't seem to care taking the chance of selling this item into your state so try buying it from one of them. I'm sure the state of New York will eventually crack down on this practice (and their fines are steep) and when this happens, it will get tougher and tougher to find items like this. But right now if you look hard enough, you should be able to find someone willing to sell some to you.

I ordered one recently, and there was only an entree in the package: no side dish. From what I understand virtually all military MREs have an entree and side dish in addition to various other snacks/supplemental items, but these civilian MREs don't always offer one. Nonetheless, this is a good product; it just has an inconsistent description.

Hi, thanks for your question. We can't comment on behalf of another website who may have different suppliers and pricing criteria. I see that this item is sold by several of our Marketplace Sellers. Sellers on our website are allowed to sell items at any price they feel is fair based on their own pricing structure. Have a great day!

The one I received was marked USMC. I assumed it was surplus and that's why it was such a good price. I don't know what they're selling for now but mine was like 80 bucks.

Have it shipped to a friend or family outside of the county or city, then have them route to your location. If they require you to list the package's contents, then you simply put "kitchen knife" << there are not any law against those to the best of my knowledge. What ridiculous laws! As if someone cannot go down to the local Walmart and buy a kitchen knife 2x as big to do whatever it is they intend on doing with a knife. What are they going to ban next. . . . Camp saws, pizza cutters? Moronic obligate mouth breathers. Hope this gives some people ideas to get what you need.

They are manufactured to u.s. military spec.and although they are not issued, if personnel wish to buy their own kit they can wear these.

At Raw Supply we are located relatively close to the actual Azomite mine. We save a huge amount of money by purchasing this product in bulk quantities. We repackage in a durable, re sealable bag and include an informative label with usage directions. We pass along our saving from working win bulk right on too the customer and are a certified distributor with azomite, hence being listed directly on their website for Idaho authorized sellers. :) Since other sellers have chosen to sell off our original listing, their photos sometimes show as the default.
