I signed up to be a consultant because it was free. I ordered one of the starter kits and some extra scent samples. The shipping was outrageuous. I have not gotten my kit. I ordered it about 3 months ago! NOT HAPPY!
 
What is Sweet Cupcake?
 
Sorry to hear that! I remember seeing a big post about that awhile back. I'm a believer that if it seems too good to be true, it probably is! Maybe Gillian & Darby's mailmen work as delivery guys for this company too?!
Hope it comes for ya soon!

Swwet cupcake is a candle and home decor company. It is direct sales too.
 
When I looked at it, I kind of figured that you could sign up for free, but then you had to purchase the "kit". Is that the way it is?
 
This was a fraudulant company. She charged the cc's for the product, then deleted her website and never refunded the monies. She used the internet as her own personal bank account.

So sorry about this Sarah...:(

I signed up for free but after looking into it and how much the crap costed, I decided against it. I think a ton of people on here signed up.
 
I'm so sorry, Sarah! I signed up too but never bought anything. I hope you didn't spend too much.
 
SorryHey,

This is one of my first posts but I have been getting information from here for over a year. I just wanted to say I am sorry this happened to you. I discovered this company was a scam on another website. The website is www.wahm.com. It is for work at home moms and has tons of information. Maybe there is something on there that can help you.

well i don't see where I was charged. I just looked at my accounts. oh well. I think i only spent like $40. It's no big deal but I had no idea!
 
I'm glad to hear you weren't charged. All those links that Darby posted were pretty scary!
 
I became a "consultant" with sweet cupcake and bought the basic starter kit. I paid through paypal. Finally after lots of aggravation I filed a complaint and Paypal did give my my money back.
 
That's just a shame that a person would do that to soo many people! I too signed up but did not purchase anything thank goodness! I hope she gets punished for everything!
