Suprise Boxes!!!

kdangel518

I agree wholeheartedly. I do see both sides of this... however, I am someone who DESPERATELY wanted to go to conference this year but couldn't due to my husband's medical issues and him loosing his job, we just couldn't swing it financially being a 1 1/2 (thanks PC for the 1/2 income!) family and the pile of medical bills we're slowly making our way through. Chicago this year wasn't an option for me. Doesn't mean I decided not to invest in my biz, it means I couldn't. And let me tell you how much it broke my heart to tell my director I couldn't go.

I think this is a GREAT idea... again before we get yelled at notice it said at the end of the conference. what a great idea for them to file the old and us to have some fun at the same time.

OK ... I was out looking for answers but let me explain for a moment the perils of asking somebody else to buy a suprprise box for you:

On Sunday, I called, then e-mailed, the three clustermates of mine who are attending conference 3. I followed up by phone with all of them on Tuesday. The only one who returned my call was a very sweet lady I know. She said she didn't have the money to pay for mine and i said OF COURSE I was not asking her to. I told her my address, consultant ID and cel phone number was in the e-mail I sent, and asked if she needed any other info. She said my PC debit card number so at her suggestion, I e-mailed her the first digits ONLY and said the last digits were my consulant ID. For good measure I tossed in my home phone number, in case HO needed it. (that's the only number they have, I got the cel after I signed.) She assured me she had printed BOTH e-mails.

I left for work at 1:30 p.m. and came home at midnight to find two frantic messages from the lady in question on my HOME answering machine. The first one said she had bought me a $25 box and a $10 box. I have $26.74 in my PC bank account so I guess I will be making a deposit. (I had told her two $10 boxes or a $10 and a $15.)

The second message said she needed my home address so she could ship them, and said she really didn't have the money for shipping. Um, hello, my address was in the first e-mail, along with my consultant ID, and she couldn't have purchased those boxes without that e-mail printout. And don't they charge the shipping to your next commission?? She said she was stuck in the room until she called me, which really made me think she had lost the first e-mail. I'm picturing this poor lady, stuck in the surprise box room with two boxes she couldn't ship. I WISH she'd called the cel!

Of course, I sent her two immedate text messages and will be calling her this afternoon when she is at lunch.

So be careful what you wish for .... At least HO assured me they don't charge sales tax!

Going to have to agree with Paulette. I am also that strict, if you will. My troop walks away KNOWING why and what they have learned. They also understand that if they miss something then they missed it period.

Don't worry- no sales tax and the shipping should come out of your commission check. Sorry she didn't get your order right!

I bought a $50 and a $25 box. I believe my $50 box had about $200 worth of products in it.

What was in your boxes?

You can see my Marketplace post for most of the contents of mine!

I don't have most of it anymore to make a list. The big items were a round deep dish baker, a large platter with the squares pattern, 2 square stiped simple additions plates, and a set of colored small sqaure bowls. I know that I sold most of it for about half price and got back about $100 and I still have some things left.

I have the square bowls too, if anybody wants them!
