Special Shipping Question: Ordering Gifts for Out-of-State Family Members

[MissChef]

Not sure where to put this! Okay, here's the deal, I have my last show of February that I'm trying to get closed out. The past host who gets 60% off 2 items, wants to buy 2 peices of cookware for her Grandma, in another state. She doesn't want to have to ship it here, just to have to turn around and go ship it back out. She ordered some other products, but if I added the other products to her friends order that is a guest also, and just had the 2 60% off peices on her order, can I then enter the special shipping info, making it C/O her Grandma? Would this work out? Has anyone ever done anything like this before???? It's a new one for me and I don't get that stumped after 8 1/2 years!
I need to get this submitted, so I'd love it if you had some experience with something like this, letting me know if it would work!?!

Yes, you can do that. I did the same thing on a February show. I actually added the past host twice, though, once with the 2 60% off items (cookware) and the direct shipping, and then I entered her again so that she could get her 10% off other items. She had an additional $100 in orders so it made sense to add her as a guest, get 10% off, and pay $4.00 shipping rather than just add her order to another friend's - plus, then both her orders are under her name in case there's a warranty issue.

HTH!

Or, you can add a second order for the host, checked as co-host (so the same person is both host and co-host), or, heck, even put her grandmother as co-host so that the receipt is in her name.

If it's for the past host, do as Diane said!

thanks! I thought I could do this. The rest of her order is not very much. Anyway, thanks for responding, my internet was down for some strange reason this morning and I couldn't check and it was driving me crazy!
