Is the DCB completely gone, not even for hosts? I have a host that wants it, but it says it's not available. I thought it would recognized her as host and would let me order it for her. Can I have an update on DCB status?
 
Are you putting in the new item number? It changed. It's now #3300.
 
Just a tip for the future....if you put in an item number and get such an error- but it's something you know exists (or at least think it does)....click on the little Magnifying Glass symbol next to the "Item #" box on the page you input the orders. It will pull up another window that allows you to search by the product name (or partial name), or by the category of the product- (ie- Stoneware). I usually go by product category, since I usually forget the "official" names of things. :D That way- when the item number has changed- you'll find every listing for that product, and can select the correct one.But yes- the Cranberry is the only one available for hosts now.

Help!!!! She was the host/organizer but since it's a fundraiser she cant' get it? HOw could that be? She is not getting it for free! She is paying full price for that. How can I get this to her without having to spend one more cent out of my pocket?
 
Fundraiser Hosts/Organizers can purchase the Host Special for the month, but not "host only" items. Hey, I didn't make the rules.
 
Yes she can only order the host special as a fundraiser host.

Yes, she is ordering the host special, but I thought she could also get the DCB as host of the fundraiser... but apparently not... More bad news for her... Yikes!
 
I'm glad this came up. It just reminded me to make sure I don't word this wrong to my fundraising host/chairperson as an option.
 
Yes, my host of a fundraiser wants one too. I dreaded informing him that he couldn't get one since it's a FR.
 
Oh wow... I did not realize that a fundrasier organizer could not get it. I knew they didn;t get free/half price, etc... but I thought they would be able to get the DCB. Good to know!
 
You could do the fundraiser differently, where you host it as a regular show & then you order the free products then you could pay what they'd get if you had it as a fundraiser, that way they could still be the host & order the DCB. There's a post about it under fundraisers "a different way to do fundraisers"
