Someone wanted to try a facebook show, and she only got one order. She said no one else is going to order, and she just wants one thing. How can I submit their order without it being a qualifying show?
 
As an individual order but she'll pay thru the nose for shipping as it's not show shipping.
 
Our direct shipping charges are comperable to other online ordering charges and people shop that way all the time. Many people don't think twice about it. I just purchased something I needed. Item was $8.95 and shipping was $6.50. Not happy to pay it but it was that or drive around to find the item and probably pay more for the item then the online store wanted.In this case I'd look at what the two people ordered and put them together under the name of the person who ordered the most likely to need the warranty item. That way shipping is likely to be less for each of them than the show $5.25 shipping.
 
Do you have another show going on? Sometimes if I have this happen, I will add it to another show....especially if it's a friend or someone I trust to get the product from.

In that instance, I have the show shipped to me.
