Have they changed box sizes in March?? I ask because I just got an email for my $1005 show and it says only 5 boxes were shipped!:confused: I had another $900 show with 9 boxes two weeks ago so I was just curious if they are using bigger boxes??? 5 just didn't sound like enough?? Maybe they just jam packed the boxes full!? Anyways probably really lame? but I was kinda worried!:rolleyes:
 
the number or boxes really depends on how big of items they are sending... I wouldn't panic, it is probably fine.
 
It also has to do with what you ordered, sometimes 9 boxes means 1 or 2 pieces of cookware. Or sometimes a lot of small items ie...shears,spoons,garlic press, etc....HTH
 
I just checked my shipment for my last two shows and the $940 (comm sales) show I submitted is 7 boxes, but I do have a few big items in there...
 
I agree! I had a $900 show with 4 boxes, but have had $400 with 4 boxes also. It had less amount of orders but higher dollar merchandise. It just depends. I wouldn't worry about it!
 
I am stating to wonder as well....I had a really small catty show & IF & WHEN I EVER GET THE ORDER!!!!:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: I'll let you know. Its showing 2 boxes each weighing 10lbs. :confused:
