P3 Won't Let Me Order July's Guest Special Early

[mconsola]

I'm placing a personal order (well over $60.00) as a non-commissionable sale in P3 and the Pinch Bowl Set comes up as $0.00 when I enter the special order # but when I try to submit it tells me to remove that item as it is not available yet? Am I missing something?

You have to date the personal order as a July date.

You can only order it the month prior if it's a discounted item... not a FREE with purchase of...

Yea...you can get them free with a personal order IN JULY...sorry!

According to the flyer in the CN & online, the guest special for July can only be purchased at shows...it isn't available for individual or online orders.

That refers to guests, Becky. There are different rules for consultants getting them.And actually, the policies indicate that we CAN get the "free with purchase" items a month ahead on a personal order (emphasis mine):

In the month prior to the promotion, only one early Guest Special can be purchased.
• If the Guest Special has specific purchase requirements, the Consultant must meet the requirements after the discount has been taken to take advantage of the special.
• Example: Spend $60 and receive the Ice Cream Dipper free! If the consultant wants a free Ice Cream Dipper, she or he must spend $60 (after the personal discount) to receive the item free.

DUH! I knew that. Blonde Moment here!

So... call tech support and tell them that you can't do it and they'll give you a fix for it.

Thanks ladies! I am going back and forth with tech support with no resolution yet. I'm sure they're working on it though so I will get my prep bowls.

July's special is Pinch Bowls, not Prep Bowls.

Oops, I knew that! As much as I love my prep bowls, 8 is enough for now! It is the pinch bowls I'm after.

Gosh, I just want everything! I'm having a hard time wrapping my mind around how to order what things when. I already ordered my Business Building pkg. Now I'm waiting for my PC$ so I can get other things. But I'm trying to figure out how. Some things are on the supply order form, some are on the outlet site, then there's the samples thing (I think I am able to get those, but am I limited to only 1 option?) Then other things, do I do a personal order, or do I tack things onto my mom's catalog show as if she as the host was getting stuff with her discount? If I put it on my mom's catty show, then would it go towards SAT, as opposed to those other ways? What do you guys do?

You can order more than one option for samples, but you can only get one of each item. So if you order package A, you cannot order package B also, because A contains the items in B.

Then other things, do I do a personal order, or do I tack things onto my mom's catalog show as if she as the host was getting stuff with her discount? If I put it on my mom's catty show, then would it go towards SAT, as opposed to those other ways? What do you guys do?

We are not supposed to order our own items on shows, other than consultant as host shows. That's why HO offers us the opportunity to place personal orders.

If I were you, I'd keep a list of the things you want, and get them with your PC$ in your 4th month, which will be your Kit Enhancement month. You'll be able to place one order and get 40% off the retail prices.
