Hi All,

I just noticed that the chair of my HWC fundraiser is being charged $4.25 S&H on her order. Is this right? I know the $4.25 isn't a huge amount, but I thought as chair they would get it for free like a normal host, so I wanted to check that I hadn't goofed somewhere.

Thanks!

No, chairpersons are charged shipping. The only typical host benefit they get is the monthly bonus.
