Thanks to Vinh Danh for the tip (via Buxr discussion forums)


Do we have to furnish receipts from the original purchase. Those are not going to be easy to find.
Does anyone have any info on this -thanks!
Here is a Boston Globe article that has more info

From the article:
Customers won’t need receipts, either – they will only be asked to sign a form stating that they purchased one or more of the products between the specified dates.
ok thanks Yan. Free cosmetics, here I come.
