Tips for Submitting Multiple Farmer's Market Orders Quickly

[yummy4tummy]

I got a few orders from a Farmer's Market that I NEED to submit today (about $80 worth) I don't want to put them through as each individual order and I am not sending them direct shipping...just to me. 1 paid cash, 2 cc so I can't send them all as a 1 person order. Can I submit it as a show that Didn't meet the "criteria" without having to pay too much more. I honestly have tried to get other orders to tack on but no go. I really need to get this order in TODAY. Any advice? Thanks

The two cc orders will have to go in separately, but you could add the cash order to one of them.

Thanks... that is what I was afraid of. Trying to come up with a "creative" way to do it because I only charge them $4 s/h (very small ticket items) cause I need all the sales I can get without running them off with direct shipping charges

I am now and have struggled with that. I have usually been fortunate enough to hold the orders just long enough to reach out to simply everybody and boost it up to a show--but it stressed me. I now have orders from a tiny party I held in Iowa leading up to conference. I have about $64.oo worth of orders and am wondering about how to handle the shipping charges if more people add on that are not from that area---direct shipping is all I can do and hope the orders are substantial enough. I am hoping for miraculous orders and a brainstorm to come. I would like to make this party happen. It helps with travel expenses for my taxes--since I traveled to Iowa to have the show--wink wink. I know how you feel--orders without a real show are confusing.

Hi there! It sounds like you have a bit of a dilemma with your orders from the Farmer's Market. As a fellow Pampered Chef consultant, I totally understand the importance of getting orders in on time. My suggestion would be to submit the orders as a "catalog show" rather than a traditional show. This way, you can combine all of the orders and submit them as one larger order, rather than multiple smaller ones. This should help with any additional costs and make it easier for you to submit them all at once. If you need any further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out. Best of luck with your orders!
