She threw away the actual products? YIKES!!! Good reminder to always check boxes, bags and packing material before tossing it. Since the host is at fault (and fortunately she is admitting it), I think she should reorder the products for the customers... at her own expense... and I would have them shipped directly to the customers.

It has been years but there was a consultant around here that had a hosts husband take the trash to recycling and the trash wasn't actually trash it was the entire PC order over $700 show. They even went back when she found out what he did and they were crushed. So the host spent month having little shows to rebuy for all her friends orders. That was an expensive move.

My recruiter had a host's husband throw away an entire show too. It was over $500 and she (the host) wanted my recruiter to report it stolen so she didn't have to pay for it.
She refused so the girl put it on a credit card. Such a horrible thing to happen!I can't believe that even the most clueless person would toss multiple boxes that obviously had things in them without checking first!

I don't understand..... didn't she realize when she had 2 packing slips and order forms left over??I have overlooked things before when sorting they ordered 2 or 3 cookbooks I gave 1 but when they were still in the box I double checked until I found it. But, having order forms left over would have been a red flag
