Man does that stink.... my poor July 2nd party.... I haven't had a show take more then a week to arrive ever. I'm guessing it may not ship till Thursday :(
 
It gets that way at the end/beginning of the month. The good thing about it is, when they get off the 30th the other dates ship out really quick. It could actually go at any time is my experience when it it stuck on the last day of the month for a few days.

I always let my host know that the first couple of days of the month can get bogged down if they are use to fast shipments at other times.

Great tip!! Live and learn... I didn't make any promises but I did say it usually take around a week. Thanks...
 
I always say it takes 1-2 weeks so if they get it in 4 days they are IMPRESSED!!
 
With sell a thon in June, there were probably a LOT of shows submitted that day. And the 3-day weekend last week didn't help with order processing. :)

I know! I was thinking the same thing. Then I remembered the sellathon happened. I wasn't on track for any free stuff, so I had forgotten about it.
 
Yeah, I submitted a show on the 30th in the AFTERNOON and it is still "picking." I leave on a plane tomorrow, and the order is being shipped to my house. Oh, and one of the customers has been calling me, anxious to get her party sticks. I had to make arrangements for my friends to come by the house and give them lists of who gets what. I hope to have a pickup date for them before I leave!
 
I ordered a supply order & placed a show on the 30th. The supply order just delivered to me today. My show is still picking. I told the girl filling in for me at my store to expect a lot of boxes while I'm gone. I usually get shows shipped to me & I seperate & give to host to pass out.
