Personally I would place your supply orders on your own. It makes things more clear for taxes. Even if she gives everyone a receipt it is still easier to keep records if it is all on your P3.
I do offer to order for my team if they have already sent in an order for the month since directors only pay $4 per order and consultants have to pay higher shipping after their first order in the month.
The other thing I offer my consultants is if they need something now, I loan it to them and they replace mine when they place their next order.
Please don't think I am saying your director is doing anything wrong - I just think that way complicates things for your records.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean when my recruiter is putting in a supply order?
When your recruiter is putting in a supply order, it means they are purchasing products or materials necessary for their business, such as catalogs, samples, or promotional items. This is a common practice in direct sales to ensure they have the tools needed to effectively market and sell products.
How can I benefit from my recruiter's supply order?
You can benefit from your recruiter's supply order by gaining access to shared resources. Often, recruiters will order extra supplies to share with their team members, which can help you save on costs and provide you with materials to enhance your own sales efforts.
Will I have to pay for items ordered by my recruiter?

How often do recruiters place supply orders?
The frequency of supply orders can vary widely among recruiters. Some may place orders monthly, while others do so quarterly or as needed based on their business activities. It's a good idea to stay in communication with your recruiter to know when they plan to order supplies.
