Why does the office charge extra shipping if a consultant hosts her own show and has it sent to her own address? I was charged almost $11.00 extra dollars and it was only a little show.
 
Did the show qualify as a show? $150 or more.

Yes, it was a little over $300 in guest sales.
 
That doesn't make any sense to me! :confused: I've hosted catelog shows of my own and of course had them sent to my address and never incurred any extra expense (just the regular shipping costs on each order). I would give HO a call on this one!

I have emailed them, and I have not gotten an answer yet. That was a few days ago. I am hoping they correct the error in house.
 
Did youDid you check the special shipping box in the Additional information screens in PP? If you just check the consultant as host box in the main show screen, there should not have been extra shipping costs.
