Since Fed Ex does not do home delivery on Mondays do you know if they pick-up from HO on Monday's?
 
I'm guessing it depends on your area. I occasionally get Monday deliveries. However, if you never get Monday deliveries, I'm guessing you won't get a Monday pick-up.

I didn't mean a pick-up from me, I meant from HO. Do you know if HO ships on Mondays?
 
Oh, sorry. I misunderstood your question. I'm fairly certain I've seen Monday dates as shipping dates when I've checked things online.

I hope so, I'm waiting on a shipment.
 
I think they do. If only because a gal in the product room said that the tablecloths would start shipping today.
 
I looked back on my shipment history & I have had several shipments show monday as the ship date.

Thanks kayseydee. I really need part of this shipment for my Thursday night show so if it ships today I should have it in time. It's been in 'picking' status since Friday! It could also be that HO hasn't updated shiping times too and it's already on it's way to me.
 
I placed a supply order on Saturday night that I need for a Bridal Fair on Sunday. I hope they ship it today so that I can hopefully have it in time for Sunday! (I can't believe I waited until the last minute!!)

This happened to me, unfortunently, I didn't get my products before my booth :cry: They originally showed the day before as the estimated ship date and then that day it changed to the day of the booth. I tried to pick them up from FedEx at their hub (within 1 mile of my booth location) only to find out it was already on the truck even though I requested it held the night before. I ended up having the FedEx guy deliver my box to me at the booth but by then it was too late. Now I have 3 packs of extra holiday catalogs I didn't have anything to do with after the holidays! I hope you have better luck than I did!

Slap a label on them with your contact info and leave a few everywhere you go, could lead to sales, bookings, or a recruit.
 
Linda - Pickups are scheduled for whenever the warehouse works. Usually M-F.If there is heavy volume and they work weekends, they would schedule a truck pull with FedEx for those dates.

Good idea. I always carry some in my purse and even gave them to guests in December (yes I know they get some when their order ships also) but still have so many left!

That's all I carry in my bag now. So much cheaper and they don't take up near as much room. I fill a quart size zip bag with them. I carry a small pad of paper too so when I meet someone I have a place to write down their contatc info. I keep a supply of full-size catalogs in my car incase I find someone who really wants one of those.
