What do we receive in these and how much do they cost? When do we get them? Thanks!
God bless,

This is on page 16th of the July Consultant news. For consultants they will be delivered by 7/26, directors and above by 7/24.
Usually they charge us $6. I don't know if this has changed.
 
you can also check online to see if you change over kit has shipped, mine hasn't shipped LOL I just checked. I'm a consultant...

None of them will start shipping until the last wave of conference is over. The Wave 3 consultants who have to WAIT (not very patiently in my case) :( have to be done with conference before anything is revealed. My guess is they'll start shipping out for people on Monday or Tuesday the 21st or 22nd. Upper level directors receive them first, then directors, then consultants. Same with products that were earned during the SAT.

I guess the ONE benefit :grumpy: to having to wait until Wave 3 is the products and paperwork come "sooner."
 
uh i knew they wouldn't have shipped this soon, but i went online to see if i remember how to check and then it showed what has shipped and what hasn't,

it was a joke

I've been a consultant for almost 3 years, I know how it all works. it's the first person below that didn't know when the C/O kits comes.
 
I got your joke, allison....the LOL was a give away.

They don't cost anything but $6 shipping. One of my recruits didn't understand that. Also the insurance dedcution every month.
 
Amanda, the changeover kits have new paperwork, basically. Catalogs and the DVD with cooking examples, new postcard invitations & recipe card samples, but what I like best is the new Season's Best and all the recipes!!!

The packages are heavier so it is $6 shipping instead of the normal $4 for a supply order.

Thanks guys! How many catalogs do you normally get? Is it 25? That's pretty generous to only charge us shipping. Cool! Thanks!
God bless,
Amanda
 
yes you get 1 25 pack of catalogs.
 
And they automatically charge us or is this something we have to request. I started right at the beginning of the Spring paperwork so this is my first time with this. Thanks!
 
they charge you automatically
 
Cool info! I didn't know all that.

Thanks!
J.
 
They're sent to active consultants, or at least to those who were active at the beginning of June. So if you have someone on your team who's been inactive for a couple of months, they won't get the changeover box until they reactivate.
 
I think the DVD only comes to directors and above in the changeover kit - for future directors and consultants, it gets shipped along with your first supply order. Correct me if Im wrong.

and Amanda - you are right - this is a VERY good deal. I dont know of any other direct sales company that sends you the new seasons catalogs for free. PC is awesome!

Sorry, I missed the "LOL" :grumpy: Guess I was reading too fast and just trying to help.
 
I love the changeover kits!! I think it is so awesome that PC even does them at all, and to only charge us $6 is even better.
I have another DS biz that I have for the discount (not a PC competitor) and if I even want to see a catalog, I have to buy a minimum of 25 and they end up costing me over $30 for the 25 catalogs b/c of the shipping charges.

I SO LOVE PC!!!!
