Hello, not sure were to post this, so I am going to try here! I signed up on Dec 16, 2009, which means I get the extra 30 days tacked on to my account. My question is this, when it comes to the business building supplies that new consultants get to order within 60 days of signing up, does that get extended as well? I would hate to order it now (or in early Feb.) and get all the fall/winter stuff! I would rather get the new spring stuff in it. When should I order that?


TIA,
Karen
 
I don't think the extra time is tacked on to the business building kit, it was for extra earning time on the PC $$. I did just check on CC and you can only order Fall/Winter Supplies through Feb 5th, so it should be Spring/Summer after that. If no one else can give you a definite ans, I would call the Solution Center and see what they say to do.
 
HO will have a new code for a Business Building Kit with S/S supplies in it. You can call HO and find out when the new package will be available for order. You should have enough time to wait until that is available before your 60 days run out.

When putting the order on your P3 look to see if you could also order FW catalogs. If they aren't there you'll get the SS ones for sure. Your join date is late enough in the month that you'll be fine.

Be sure to also order your free round up from the heart trivet at the same time.
 
If I remember correctly, the one month BEFORE change over (so Feb in this case), you'd get the S/S supplies not the F/W - or maybe it was half/half. So if you submit after Feb. 1, you should receive the S/S supplies. This was a similar thing for my recruit last summer. She signed end of June, and waited until August to send it in so she could get the F/W supplies.I'd still call or email HO to be sure, but you have until Feb 16th to order it. (or 20th- it goes by the day your kit shipped according to the paper). And you can do it through P3
 
I remember there being different item codes for the different seasons. Especially this year, since the price of the catalog is going up.
