    Dealing with Hostess Payment Issues in Direct Sales - Need Advice and Venting!

    Its too late for me to re-direct the show, it has already shipped long ago. I submitted the show on Oct 31st after she told me the MO was in the mail. Here is her latest reply to my calls and emails (I got this today after trying to reach her since last Friday): I am sorry i didn't get...

    Dealing with Hostess Payment Issues in Direct Sales - Need Advice and Venting!

    P.S. She lives an hour and a half away so she should. Even if she doesn't get it until the 30th, she can do a Western Union payment the same day which is the point...to get her to pay right away. Plus the store that does WU is open until 11pm every night.

    Dealing with Hostess Payment Issues in Direct Sales - Need Advice and Venting!

    I think you're right and one of my friends said the same thing. She asked why I was apologizing to someone who is screwing ME over? I think you both have a point. ChefJeanine, I'm going to use the letter you posted. Much more to point. Thanks you guys! I feel much more in control of the...

    Dealing with Hostess Payment Issues in Direct Sales - Need Advice and Venting!

    Well guess what? I called her cell number (the same number I tried last night and got a guy who said I had the wrong number - I'm guessing that was her son) and got her voicemail. I left a message that was straight to the point. Tried her home number again (from my husband's cell phone) and...

    Dealing with Hostess Payment Issues in Direct Sales - Need Advice and Venting!

    Ok, I wrote up the letter. Does anyone know how I do a link to it on here?? I am so not computer savvy. :confused: Anyway, I am going to try and call her one more time before I send it. If I can't get a hold of her I will send it when I go to pick up my son from pre-school...

    Hosting a Show for Your Spouse: Is It Allowed?”

    I sure hope it is!! I recently attended a home business open house and since I didn't have a host to put the orders under (and I've used my husband's name before :p) I just put the orders under my father in laws name. That way he got a past host discount number and I got a few free things to...

    Dealing with Hostess Payment Issues in Direct Sales - Need Advice and Venting!

    Ange -- my new rule no matter what, I don't care if you live an hour away; all and I mean ALL shows are shipped to me. That way I have all the stuff no matter what happens! Jennifer -- Good plan! I think I'll keep that in mind. Hopefully I wont have to deal with this again...if ever! I'm...

    Cookware - Roaster Questions?

    About the clean-up thing, I was going to spray the rack, but I was worried that while it was cooking, it might not be good for the pan if some of that spray got on it. I read the product care instructions (I'm a nerd, but I like to be REALLY extra careful with my cookware) and it said to NOT use...

    Dealing with Hostess Payment Issues in Direct Sales - Need Advice and Venting!

    I know I haven't been around for a while...(the usual excuses apply, work, family, holiday prep, etc) but I had to come back and get some advice and/or encouragement -- mainly to vent! So anyway, I had a show on Oct 19th that was just super-duper. The hostess collected a TON of outside...

    Where Can I Find a Folding Table with Adjustable Height for Under $5?

    P.S. Ann, great idea!! You might have just saved my back! Thanks a bunch! I don't have a cooling rack yet, but it might be the next thing I order. I have a show getting ready to close so that's perfect! Thank you, thank you!! :) Kristen

    Where Can I Find a Folding Table with Adjustable Height for Under $5?

    Thanks for all the suggestions! Wow, I wish I could have my counters re-built! Doing dishes is a pain too -- in more ways that one! Maybe once we build our own house I can break away from this height contricting base house I live in now! LOL! I'll have to do some more searching and hopefully...

    Order Disaster: Broken and Damaged Items - Shop Smarter with Personal Delivery!

    Wow! That is a total shame. I agree with Ann, call them and tell them the whole thing is a mess. Who knows what other damage that kind of shipment caused that you haven't even found yet. You wouldn't want your customers to discover something wrong later on. What a headache! Sorry that happened...

    Where Can I Find a Folding Table with Adjustable Height for Under $5?

    Ok, here's a challenge for you ladies -- I am REALLY tall, I mean I'm 6'0 and even the adjustable tables give me a backache by the end of my demo. Has anyone found a super adjustable table anywhere?? I need one that's probably close to 4' high to be tall enough to not give me a backache! I...

    Amazing, Still Illegal Sites Out There!

    Ok, so I contacted her...get this! She is a Pampered Chef consultant and said her upline created that photo collection for an "online show" she had months ago and "forgot" to take it down. I don't even know what to think about that. :confused: :eek:
