Not quite on topic, but if that was ever the official policy for Lia Sophia, it's changed now. You have 45 days from the original order to return things for free, and they pay the return shipping, via pre-paid label. Maybe that wasn't always the case, though.

This was just last month. They said that the consultant put the information into the system incorrectly so it was not their fault, but hers. So I have to pay the shipping and then ask her to reimburse me.

That's just wrong.

Last month, I entered in something incorrectly. One quick call to HO, and they just did an adjustment on my commission check for the $2 difference, and sent the right product ASAP. THAT is how it's supposed to work!

I agree Becky. Not only do I not want to be a customer any longer, I would never want to be a consultant for a company that has that type of policy.
