I have a quick question....I had a show this month August, the host did not close it yet however she told me that she doesn't want the august host special because she already owns the forged cutlery. here is my question, if i offer her to put it in as september, there are a few items discontinued that people want to order..if i ask her if she wants to change the show date, can i put in an individual order for these discontinued items on monday and change the date for todays?
i hope this makes sense, thanks in advance for any help

Yes, you can do that. The only thing is the warranty. If you do one big individual order under, say, your name, then if someone needs to use the warranty they can't do it. But they could do it through you. Does that make sense?
 
It would also affect the host's show total for benefits (or maybe not, if it doesn't lower her to the previous level).

i was going to put it under the customers name because she is the only one who ordered the discontinued items....

i collected some orders from work,
so it won't affect her show at all, in fact the orders i collected are way more than what i will be ordering individually!
 
Another thing is shipping would also change cause instead of the $4 she would have to do direct shipping unless you coered the extra cost
