Can I put 2009 samples & outlet items on the same order? P3 makes them both available to search and add, then crashes when I add an outlet item so that I have to restart. Thanks!!
 
I don't think you can order Fall samples and outlet samples on the same order.
 
Ann is right, you can't order both types on one order.

The worst part was that they said they are aware of the problem. Really?? Then take the items off so we can't crash our computers. ;)Although they *did* say we can't do that "yet," so maybe in the future...
