I was looking at the F/W sample orders on CC and noticed some great deals and thing I'd love to have to show...now that we've seen the discontinued list, I'll know what not to buy.

My question is - if I want several of the smaller packages, I don't know the letters at all, but let's say I want sample packages G, H, K, and M. Can I do that? Is there a limit to the number of packages you can purchase? I couldn't find it in the policies and procedures.

Thanks!! :chef:

They had said that we couldn't order fall samples after a certain date. I think it is different for newer consultants (ones that joined during the F/W). That said, I have ordered much later in the season than I thought I could.
The only rules are that the first big packages- you can only chose one. The smaller packages you can order one of each if you want but you can only GET ONE of each.

Hope that helps and that I am fairly clear.
 
The only limits are one of each product. So if you order package A (the biggie), you can only order the "open stock" samples, and not the packages that have products already included in A. And only 1 of each package. If you're a new consultant, you have until the end of your 6th week to order the current season's samples.

Thanks! I was looking at them and realizing I would get more bang for my buck if I did it that way than if I used my $340 in FPV from my show to purchase individually. I can really build my kit (and fun things for me) with all that FPV! :love:
 
If you spend some time checking it out, you'll see that the smaller packages, like B C & D all add up to the big package, A. That's so you don't have to buy the whole enchilada and end up with pieces you don't really want.Of course, the smaller packages also have lots of stuff you don't really want, either, so you end up with excess either way.
