How much postage should I put on the Mini Catalogs? I live nowhere near a post office, and I am hoping that a first class stamp will cover it. Anyone know? Thanks! :)
 
I sent out mini catalogs last change over and a regular stamp (.42 right now) or a Forever Stamp will be just fine.
 
Since it costs the same to mail a letter, I am placing the minis in an envelope w/upcoming specials page inside. That way they are lost or thrown out as junk either.

Thanks, that sounds like a good idea!
 
I just mailed a few this week and sealed them shut on all 3 sides with a little circle sticker. It was a normal stamp to mail.
 
if you put it in an envelope and add papers, make sure you weigh it. I mailed a few that way this week and one of mine was over.
 
silly question, but here goes...Where do we get the mini catalogs? Are they only available in the US? Or can those of us in Canada get them?

I think they are currently only available to US consultants (for the upcoming fall season) as you haven't had your NC yet. I am not sure if they are something you have had available in the past. But you can check by going to CC and looking at your paperwork/supply order. They should be right around the catalogs and such and they are for the US anyhow, $3.00 for a pack of 25.

I hope this helps!!
 
Hi Cindy!

The mini catalogs can be ordered through the supply order form but like it was mentionned, the new ones will only be available after NC. You should receive a sample one in your change over kit.
