Re: Anyone?We always pay shipping & tax on our supply orders. When you turn in your first supply order for the month, it's $4.25. Any additional orders are charged the same shipping rate as direct ship rate for a customer.
This shipping charge is on each type of order for each month. If you turn in a supply order & a personal order, you'll pay the $4.25 for each order.

Re: Anyone?Sorry you misunderstood. Consultants pay $4.25 for their first supply order each month no matter how much they purchase - so always plan your purchases. If you need to send a second supply order in a calendar month it would be with direct shipping charges.
Directors get unlimited supply orders at $4.25 so if you need something after you sent that first order in call her/him and see if they'll send it for you - who knows, maybe they need to place an order anyway and you won't have to pay ANY shipping for that order.
We also get the benefit of ordering samples and personal orders at the $4.25 shipping price. Yes they have to be separate orders but it's still a savings when you realize a host packet costs $4.80.
...and everything is taxed.

When putting together gift bags for an expo, consider including a variety of Pampered Chef products that showcase your best sellers or new items. Popular choices include kitchen tools like the Classic Batter Bowl, the Micro-Cooker, or the Mix 'N Chop. You might also want to add recipe cards or a small cookbook to inspire recipients to use the products.
How can I make my Pampered Chef gift bags stand out at the expo?
To make your gift bags stand out, consider using colorful and attractive packaging. Personalize each bag with a thank you note or a small recipe that features one of the products included. You can also add a branded item, like a Pampered Chef pen or a measuring spoon, to enhance the value of the bag.
What promotional materials should I include in my gift bags?
