1, do we have a rolling pin other than the pastry roller?

2, I have a host that does not want her 1/2 price item?? why, I have NO idea, but she said that I could have it, I would like to offer it to one of my preferred customers, Do I need to have it shipped to the host, or can it be shipped directly to my prefered customer?? Do I need to enter her as a co-host??
 
1. no, just the Baker's Roller

2. I'd enter the past host as a co-host so that she gets her own receipt. But I don't think you can have a co-host's order direct-shipped.

ok, I will just have to play around with it for awhile to see what I can do.
 
You can direct ship a co-host but I think you have to pay shipping. I did that on one of my first shows when a catty didn't quite make $150 - combined 2 and direct shipped the 2nd show. I don't remember HOW I did it, but I did.
 
Only the Baker's roller
 
What i have done is just have the order shipped to me and then when it comes give the 1/2 price to a person and then call the hostess to drop her the rest of the orders i have done that many times. Or just let the hostess know the item and have her call you when the boxes arrive and you pick it up and deliver it to the person. I have done that in the past and i haven't had any issues.
 
I've added the 2nd person as a co-host and just had it ship to the host and ask her to call me when the order is ready and I go get it and then deliver it to "co-host".
 

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to ship the half-price item to the host or preferred customer?

No, as a consultant, you do not need to ship the half-price item directly to the host or preferred customer. Instead, the half-price item is typically sent to the host's address as part of the order fulfillment process.

Can the host choose where the half-price item is shipped?

Yes, the host can specify the shipping address for the half-price item during the checkout process. They can choose to have it sent to their home or another address of their preference.

What if the host wants to give the half-price item to someone else?

If the host wishes to give the half-price item to someone else, they can simply provide that person's address during the order process. This allows for flexibility in gifting the item.

Are there any additional shipping costs for the half-price item?

What happens if the half-price item is out of stock?

If the half-price item is out of stock, the host will be notified, and they can choose an alternative item or wait until the desired item is back in stock. It's important to communicate any stock issues promptly to avoid confusion.
