Shipping Options for Co-Hosted Party: Local & Remote Hosts

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on shipping logistics for a co-hosted party involving two sisters, one local and one remote, with a four-hour distance between them. It is established that all orders must be shipped to one designated host, and if guests wish to have their orders shipped to different locations, they must incur direct shipping costs. The user ultimately decided to divide the orders into two separate shows to minimize shipping expenses, as the orders were nearly evenly split between the two hosts.

Ok, I have two sisters who co-hosted a party. One lives locally & the other about 4 hrs away. Can I pick which host each order is shipped to, or do I have to have half of them direct shipped?
 
All orders are shipped to one host. If they want the orders shi8pped elsewhere, each guest and the co-host would have to pay diredt shipping.

That's what I figured. I ended up just dividing the orders into two shows b/c it was split between the two hosts almost evenly , so direct shipping would have been too expensive.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What shipping options are available for co-hosted parties with local and remote hosts?

For co-hosted parties, we offer several shipping options. Local hosts can choose to have their orders shipped directly to their home or to a designated pick-up location. Remote hosts typically have their orders shipped directly to their address. Additionally, guests can select standard shipping or expedited shipping at checkout, depending on their preferences.

Can guests from different locations combine their orders for shipping?

Yes, guests from different locations can combine their orders for shipping under a co-hosted party. However, it's important to note that shipping costs may vary based on the total weight and destination of the combined order. To ensure the best shipping rates, we recommend coordinating with your hosts to place orders together.

How long does shipping take for orders placed during a co-hosted party?

Shipping times for orders placed during a co-hosted party typically range from 5 to 7 business days for standard shipping. Expedited shipping options are available for those who need their products sooner, which can reduce the delivery time to 2-3 business days, depending on the destination.

Are there additional shipping fees for co-hosted parties?

Shipping fees for co-hosted parties are generally based on the total order amount and the shipping method selected. While there are no additional fees specifically for co-hosting, it's important for hosts and guests to review their shipping options at checkout to understand the costs associated with their orders.

What should I do if my order is shipped to the wrong address?

If an order is shipped to the wrong address, please contact customer service as soon as possible. They will assist you in tracking the order and determining the best course of action, which may include redirecting the shipment or arranging for a reshipment. It's important to provide accurate shipping information at the time of order placement to avoid these issues.
