I was so excited to see them up there so I ordered mine this morning and I can't wait to order my catalogs one thing off of my todo list before I leave for SD.
 
Finally! They have packages that fit perfectly for me! I love what they put open stock. I earned the $3,000 level so there wasn't too much more that I wanted/needed. I am going to be ordering my knife block very soon (along with some other things.)
 
I liked Open Stock but was mixed on a few others.There is already another thread on this. :)

I like how they grouped things together. I earned the 1500 level and then i still had a bunch of pc dollars to use so i used them wisely I ordered new products. lol janet i thought there was but i couldn't find the thread lol
 
can someone please post the list of samples pkgs (esp the open stock) so those of us North of the border can get a sneak peek. Ours won't be up til mid-August :(TIA :)
 
thanks for trying to end me the link, Christina. Doesn't work for cross border snooping, though :(If someone would be so kind as to cut & paste the info, my email is[email protected]thanks
 
It's on another thread here...hold on...I'll search for it...

I listed retail only since the sample package prices SHOULD already be known for consultants - you know your discount on those and I'm sure HO doesn't want us advertising to non-consultants on here what those are...our perks to being consultants.
 
Now maybe its just me but i would like to see a GOOD picture of what i am ordering and the samples do not have pictures! When you click on where the pciture should be is says image NOT avialible! I don't htinkt hats right. I'd like to see a good pciture of the holidays plates for example. I think pictures should be up there too when we order.
 
yay - the knife block is there! picture me ordering that as soon as i post this!!
 
You rock Janet thank you!

I was thinking the same thing when I went to look earlier.
 
I am order my stuff tonight - can we order some now and some later? Just not the same packages I know - but if I want to order 1 package now can I order open stock later or next month?
 
I'm so proud of myself! I only ordered what I planned to order - the Knife Block, the Wine Glasses and the Silicone Crown Cake pan. I got Level 2 of SAT (submit 2 shows and $1500 in sales), so I got everything else I really wanted. It only cost me $75!!

Now, ordering supplies? Well, that's another thing. Hopefully they'll last me a while. ;)

Dor - yes, you can order some now and some later, as long as you don't duplicate, and you order them by the end of Sept. :) I would also space them out by month, so you don't get the added shipping charge (not 100% sure on that one, though).
 
I am debating about ordering a 2nd set of grinder/bamboo bowl/salt so I have a 2nd grinder and bowl... but I don't need it. and now I think I may want the knife block. So maybe I will have to just order the things that I need right now and then use the rest for a weight loss goal or something...
