I love it too....and that is the problem! LOL! I actually have a whole lot of it and I jsut started buying it 3 years ago! LOL! So far I know that I am getting the Medallion Mirror, Estate Wall Shelf, Estate Bath Set and the Tall Dome. I still have 3 1/2 buys and about $30 free to mess with. But again..I need to know the tax situation so I can order. I have a budget and I have to stick to it! LOL
 
I just texted my friend and I am going to run upstairs to look at my reciept since I just bought the olive jar trio last month. My friend who sells is always tells people she borrows my stuff for shows b/c I have more than her :)
I hosted in January once and got double hostess dollars and had a $1000 party, it rocked! August is double hostess dollars again, I may do a catty party. I love the Estate wall shelf and bath set, I have it but we are going to re-do our bathroom and I bought it for that. I can not wait to see the new fall catty. SLAH conference was this past weekend, so I am trying to get the scoop on what is new:)
 
ok, looking at my reciept, it they do charge tax on S&H. Does that help?

I got the catalina serving bowl as the special last month for $19.95 and I love it!!!

I get free shipping and handling. I guess what I meant was do I as the host pay taxes on my items at their full price or discounted price? I seem to remember that I paid taxes on my free stuff and half prices last time but I not on the specials......
Hmmmm if only she would be quicker about answering my e-mails!
 
hmm, let me find my reciept from when I hosted.
That's right you do get free S&H~ duh, sorry!
I would think you would pay the tax on what they are discounted at. I think my friend went to bed b/c I didn't hear back and she was at my house earlier and said she was pretty wiped out. off to look for another reciept :)

Don't worry about it..I need to get to sleep as well. Thanks so much for your help!!
 
Most DS companies have the host pay tax on the full price of the free and discounted items because they are taxing the value. Tax on shipping varies by state. So, I would plan to pay the tax and be happy if you don't!

Yeah I think that is what I am going to wind up doing.....I am kinda peeved at my consultant. AT my show, she left without letting me know where my show was at but we had decided to close on Monday-yesterday. She finally responded to my e-mail about my show status last night. I called yesterday as well.......anywho....just reminds me how important host coaching is...
