I should know this...but I can't remember.

The current Supply order form F/W 2008 says available to order through 2/15/09.

So, does this mean I can still order at old supply prices until 2/15/09?
And does that mean I can't order any NEW supply order products on that same order??
 
correct. :)

Thanks! Figured...but wanted to make sure.

So, I guess, theoretically, I could order new stuff as my January Supply and the old stuff in the beginning of Feb as my February Supply Order...??

(I know I can order more than once a month, but want to avoid Direct Ship charges)
 
You can order Spring supplies on the same order as Winter supplies.

I figured this out by entering item numbers until it worked.

Happy to help!
 
You can also look at the list of products by clicking on the magnifying glass. Then you can sort that list by name or price (the 100 pack of catalogs is usually one of the more expensive items on supply order).
 
When can we order spring product samples?
 
That hasn't been announced yet. As stated elsewhere, it's usually AFTER the sell-a-thon items ship; around when most people will receive their changeover boxes.According to the January consultant newsletter (page 13), SAT items will ship for delivery January 30. Changeover packages will ship for delivery Jan. 22 - Feb. 4, depending on consultant level.
