Who May Find This Useful

Members of the consultant community who engage in marketplace transactions may find the shared experiences and perspectives relevant to their own purchasing decisions.

I've had good luck with the marketplace. I did have one time when I ordered something and after a month it had not arrived. I contacted the consultant and oy she had 3 major person crises hit in a few weeks of each other starting the day after I placed the order. Once her life was back on track the product arrived as promised. I'd hate to see a couple of messed up sales prevent us from having the marketplace as I just love it.
 
I too have had good experiences here at the market place. Sorry to those who have not!
 
Okay Jill. Get it?
 
Yes please tell usDid you get your bag?

I have had good transactions on the Marketplace.
