I know there were a few other Consultants holding out on ordering their packages to make sure they would get the fall catalogs, etc. I talked with a guy from HO and he gave me the new item number to enter into PP3. I thought it might help someone else, the item number is: JG49 and it's $42 for fall, instead of $36 like it was for S/S.
 
When can we order is it within our first 60 or 90 days?

That is so great that you gave that # out because I had a consultant who was told she could order that Business Building Package back in January and new stuff S/S would come and she didn't get what she wanted, she got all fall stuff and it wasn't sent right until the 4th try and it was me that had to call and be very clear with PC that it wasn't acceptable because the experience was leaving a bad taste in my consultants mouth, so to speak! I let them know that I thought they were fabulous but I have been a consultant for a long time and that my recruit was new and getting annoyed! They moved heaven and earth to fix it for her!!:D

I figured I would just try to help because anything I've asked here everyone has tried to help and when you are out here on your own doing stuff and have to hunt the answer down, it can get frustrating at times, lol.
 
I was excited and couldn't wait to order my business building kit so I did so about 2 weeks ago. After it got here I was kicking myself for not waiting to get the Fall catalogs. My recruiter offered to see if our director could get them exchanged for me. I have a ton of summer ones and not a lot on the horizon. I am hopeful I can get some things going in August and use up some of them or else I will just save them for when I start doing craft booths in the fall. Nobody ever gives the newest catalogs away at those anyway.
 
Thanks so much for the info. I've been holding off because I wanted to get the fall stuff instead of more summer stuff.

I got my package with the f/w catalogs and all the other goodies today, I highly recommend getting this if you are within your first 60 days. It's totally worth it, if not for the catalogs alone. You also get 6 of the new Season's Best, 15 cooking show planners, the your life your way dvd's and several packages of receipts. The binder is great, too. I just have to figure out how to use it, lol. ;)
 
I got my business building package yesterday and it had all S/S 08 in it!! ARGH!! I was on the phone for over 1/2 hour and finally asked to speak to a manager, who assurred me they would resend the fall/winter in 3 days but they normally dont do this until August 22. Plus....there was a price increase so I had to pay an additional $6.00. I was disallusioned that nothing was ever said about this or no timeframe given. I was just trying to abide by my 60 day time frame and have a very full September/October show calendar.
Kind of left a bad taste in my mouth for dealing with my resources.
Just had to vent.

Linda:confused:
 
Can anyone order the package? Because it is showing up on PP3 to order and doesn't give an error.
 
You can try to order it, but if you aren't a new consultant, HO won't process it.It's just like the Quick Start Boxes. They show up for everyone, but only Directors can order them.
