How should I order gifts for multiple people at various addresses, either as "consultant gift" or using PC dollars, if possible? TIA! I mean, I know "how", I'm just trying to figure out the BEST way, yk?
 
Don't do consultant gift unless it's a gift for a customer/host. That's something that is considered a tax write off and you don't want to be using it for a personal gift.
 
...if it's $150, do it as your own Catalog Show and get the Hostess Special@ 60% off!!!
 
If you want to use PC$ you'll need to do it as a personal order to you, with the warranty in your name and re-package & mail to the appropriate people or hand deliver. But depending on the weight of the items, you may still be paying a lot in postage.

Individual orders (or a catalog show if sales are high enough) and paying direct shipping will get to them faster and be less hassle, but you can't use the PC$ :( Another up side to this route is having the warranties in the appropriate names and helping your commissionable sales for the month.
 
Hi there! Ordering gifts for multiple people at different addresses can definitely be a bit tricky, but don't worry, I'm here to help. As a consultant, you have a few options for ordering gifts for your clients.One option would be to use PC dollars, if you have enough in your account. This way, you can purchase the gifts at a discounted rate and have them shipped directly to your clients' addresses. Just make sure to double check the shipping addresses before placing the order.Another option would be to place a "consultant gift" order. This allows you to purchase products at a discounted rate and have them shipped to yourself. From there, you can personally deliver the gifts to your clients or ship them to their individual addresses.Ultimately, the best way to order gifts will depend on your specific situation and preferences. I suggest weighing the pros and cons of each option and deciding which one works best for you. I hope this helps, and feel free to reach out if you have any further questions. Happy gifting!
