A possible solution...
If you have that item on hand (or can get it from another consultant), go ahead and sell it to her now. Then order the same item on the fundraiser and have it shipped directly to you instead to replace the item that you delivered early. It is a little more work, but worth it if it helps the fundraiser and, of course, you don't lose that sale. Plus it is a good customer service effort that hopefully the customer and your host will remember you for. :angel:

That's what I had to do with a customer. He wanted two can openers and NOBODY had them. He had to have them within a week, but expedited shipping was more than the price of the product. So with his permission, I ordered ONE for him and sold him the one I had on hand. I will order it in with my next show. His other can opener showed up last week, a week later than he needed it ...
