I have a friend in Japan that is doing a show for me..... she got an order online and the person selected to ship to host... I told the host that she had to tell people that they had to select the direct ship option... what do I do??

Do I email the person and tell them that the order will be more cause it has to be direct shipped?
 
That's what you have to do! I would also email HO and ask them for there to be an option on our websites to be able to choose direct ship only as the only available shipping option for certain shows.

Ok I will do;) Thank you just wanted to make sure that is what I needed to do.
 
Is the ordering guest overseas as well or state side? If she is state side call her if overseas email her. Either way you need to make contact with the ordering guest to confirm the order and who knows maybe you can suggest an "add on" item...did she order a cookie press? They are after all on sale this month.
