It took a while to get my supply order this time too - but I also had 2 shows that took 6 days to ship. It's that whole end of season changeover deal I think. They are trying to get SAT and changeover kits out to everyone too...plus, I think Chicago has had some pretty tough weather lately, which may effect shipping a little bit.

20th. I called & for some reason they had put a financial hold on it (I was told the funds were not available.) I used PC $ to pay for it. They transferred me to finance, she released the "not sure why" hold. Called 2 days later since it was still just sitting there. I was told it was shipping that day. I called the next day & they cancelled the order & refunded my PC $ so I could place an order for new spring supplies. Not sure what happened there.

I sent a supply order last week in high freaken hopes of getting it by this Thursday. I ordered 50 bucks worth of receipts, recipe cards and door prizes that are crucial for this Thursday. When I saw that it hadn't shipped as of Sunday night, I sent and email (from which I got a response today ) I called HO on MOnday early morning to ensure that it would ship and repeatedly told them that I need this for a party on Thursday that is expecting 20-30 people. I told her that the host booked at the last minute. She was snooty and told me that their turn around time was not slow and that I should not expect it sooner than 7 days. Well, excuse me, but I do. It's supplies, to help me sell, for them! It's sad that I resorted to this, but I'm so glad I ordered my extra catalogs on ebay. I'm crossing my fingers those get here on time and I guess I'll have to make do with what little door prizes and receipts I have. I just wanted to have a really nice party since I don't know this lady that booked off of me. She's expecting a really big turnout.Frequently Asked Questions
