I had an open house with a Tastefully simple host and she is my pc host. All the guests that ordered from me are local so I can drop off products too but the host lives in Haymarket. I really can not drive to Haymarket so how can I get the hosts items to her and the other orders to the local guests?
 
I keep looking at this thread, hoping someone else has an answer for you!!! I would be interested to know how this will work also!
 
I'm confused about what you're asking. Your host doesn't live in your town but everyone who ordered lives near you? It was at your home and you did a double show?

Anyway, on the hosts order you should be able to click on direct to shipping address, which is where you enter the host's address. For host address, put your actual address in there. Then everyone's order will be shipped to your address because it's in the host address area, but the host's order will be shipped to her address.

Ok I had the hosts order shipped directly to the shipping address which is her's and the guests' orders will be shipped to the host, which is my actual address under contact address. I will have to check this throughly when I close this show so I don't end up driving to Haymarket to deliever products
 
I went to a Tastefully Simple party a month ago. They did not give an option, simply shipped direct to each customer. The shipping is $5.99 for each order and over $50 it goes to 10% of whatever you order. No deliveries, but shipping seemed very high to me. I loved the powdered chai tea, but it was $9.99 plus $6 for shipping is to much for me. I bought it once, and that will be it for me. That's why our shipping is such a deal, but we do ship to one address which is why it is so much cheaper.
