I'm sure someone here can answer this -- can inactive consultants order pantry items on a supply order or just business supplies only?
 
Supplies only, I think. Pantry items are products and would therefore be unavailable until after the consultant reactivated.
 
What is the deadline for someone to reactivate & get the changeover kit?
 
They'll still get a changeover if they reactivate during the Spring season. One of my former team members was inactive for several months and reactivated in November. She received the Fall changeover.
 
um, question then, i am looking at going inactive at the end of the month, i'm only a consultant right now, so, will that affect A) the shipment products i earned during SAT? and B) since i will be inactive asof Feb 1, that means i won't receive the change over kit until AFTER i submit one or both of my February shows?(whatever gets me to $200 in sales to reactivate) am i understanding that right?
 
You will still receive your SAT and changeover. You earned SAT products, so even if you were inactive before Feb. 1, they'd still send them to you. And the lists for changeover are generated early (early January, or maybe even in December), so you'll be OK.
 
ok, thank you!
