Who May Find This Useful

Consultants looking for insights into different methods of expressing gratitude to customers and hosts may find the shared experiences helpful in shaping their own practices.

There isn't any way that I know of to get them back. However, it's possible for someone to exchange a product without a receipt. They just have to know the state, host, and approximate date of the sale. The HO can look things up for them with that information, which is all available on the receipt they have.Don't get me wrong. It's better to have the official receipt, however, there's no reason to fret about the orders you've lost.

Well, that makes me feel better. Now I know what to do. Boy, that's a lot of paperwork and stamps.
Thanks for the info.
 
If you are passionate about this issue, send a note to HO suggesting that they put receipts in the direct-ship orders. It may not happen overnight, but if enough consultants suggest it, they'll look into the feasibility.
