  • A participant mentions earning Level 3 as a director perk and only needing the stock pot, contemplating the value of duplicates for personal use.
  • One participant shares their desire to make director and hesitance to purchase products they might receive for free later, highlighting a conflict between current needs and future benefits.
  • Another participant, also at Level 2, is considering Package D but is cautious about spending, expressing a desire for specific items like Jerk Seasoning and a second bowl.
  • Several users mention the temptation of half-price items and the difficulty of resisting purchases, especially with upcoming shows.
  • One participant notes limited interest in Package D, preferring specific items like the large round bowl and canola oil, while being unsure about other products.
  • Another participant shares excitement about receiving doubles due to their earned levels and expresses a need for a larger pot.
  • One participant requests a list of items included in the sample packages, indicating a lack of access to that information.

I cannot decide. If I order a packge I will get things I do not want, but if I just order open stock I will not get all that I want. I earned Level One of the Sell a Thon, so, I know I will NOT be getting Package B.

I earned level 2, so I'll order package D, with the open stock spices, and SA coffee and more cups - and I think that will be all for me!:D
 
I earned level 1 and am getting level 3 as a director perk, so the only thing I won't be getting is the stock pot.
 
I earned level 3, so the only thing I really need is the Stock Pot, but I like to have duplicates of some items for home and the kit, so I need to decide if any of the packages are worth my while. I'll vote as soon as I decide!
 
I'm not sure. I really want to make director, so I don't want to buy all of the products & then get them sent to me for free in a couple of months. But, I really don't want to go into the spring season without having the products to show. :) I can't decide. But, I did earn Level 1 (pkg B - almost) in the Sell-A-Thon.
 
I earned Level Two, so I would like to get Package D, however I am really trying not to spend money on products. KWIM? I'm sure I'll cave and get it though. LOL
I definitely want another Jerk Seasoning as well as a 2nd Dots SMall Bowl.
I would LOVE the steak knives, but not sure I could justify sending that much... Decisions, decisions!
 
I earned level 2. I can't decide. I told myself I wouldn't go overboard this time, but it's hard to pass stuff up when it is half price!!! Plus, I will use it. It's not like I'm just getting it to let it sit so I can stare at it.

How long do we have to order it? I can never remember. My February is looking awesome right now (7 shows, possibly 8). I think I may splurge a little after the month is over.
 
I earned level 2...there is not much I would want in package D...I want the large round bowl and the canaola oil....not sure about the grill planks yet...I hardly ever use my zester or v shap cutter...so I'm not sure yet.
 
I was blessed to have earned Level 2 in SAT, and Level 3 as a Director. So, I've doubles coming (yipee!)

I'll be ordering the stock pot...been wanting and needing a larger "gumbo" pot!
 
Could someone please list what is in Sample packages A,B,C & D. The sample packages are not up on the Canadian CC yet. (assuming they will be the same as the US) Thanks.

I also learned level 2 and am really not wanting anything out of package D except for the Large Round Bowl. I'll probably wait until March to get it on a hosts order as well as the stock pot.;)
 
Here you go! :)

Thank you, thank you!
 
Gosh, I didn't earn anything :(
I want pkg A and the Strainer and the Trifle Bowl and the Steak Knife Set and OK, that's it.
Gees, where am I gonna get all the $$$ fow what I want.
 
  • Thread starter

I would love the steak knives, but I just do not think I can justify spending that much on them even at half price.
 
Same here :(
 
I'm ordering nothing. I earned level 2 and will get level 3 when I promote this season.

If I want anything, I'll order on a host's order when she has 30% off. I'll keep my points and career sales, thankyouverymuch.
 
I ordered package A, the round platter, the salad chopper, the jerk seasoning and something else...
 
Oh! The torte pan set and the small dots bowl...
 
Do the sample products have the same warranty as if we ordered them from a show??
 
You can't exchange them for a different product or refund, but you can get a replacement product if one is defective...
 
I am trying to decide whether to purchase new products through samples, or if I should wait until they are available for purchase and order them then for the sales, commission, and to increase a show sales.As far as warranty, I am thinking years down the road if one of my forged steak knives is defective.... (since they have a lifetime warranty!!) Also, same thing for kit enhancement, are warranties the same?
 
I want...Package B
I just got to get that black tool turn about, new twixit clips, and kitchen shears.
Everything else I don't care for I will just give as gifts.

I am also ordering the Trifle bowl, the LArge platter, and Torte pan.

So it will be about $110 or so. What is the shipping on this? Does anyone know?

Debbie
 
the shipping is $4.00!
 
My shipping was $6... darn Alaska!!
 
Hmmm...well, I earned level 1, so I think that Package B is out! lol :p I think I'll be ordering Package C and a couple open stock items. Not going over board this time.....:rolleyes:

Under More Information, this is what it said...nothing about Alaska or Hawaii being more! hmmm..

"All orders must include the $4.00 shipping and handling fee, plus the appropriate sales tax. Sales tax rates can be found under Consultant’s Corner on the Web or by calling (630) 261-8528. The $4.00 fee cannot be combined with any other order."
 
Our shipping is $6 for one supply order per month, directors get all orders at $6 shipping.
 
I earned level 1, so that's package B. And the December incentive, so that's the Trifle Bowl.

Ordered C, D, Dots sm bowl, Jerk Rub (OK, that sounds like an "adult item"), Large round platter, salad chopper, strainer, torte pan set.

Any more cookware in the house and DH will leave me (or kick me out!)

This is my dilemma too. I want the items so I could have an open house for the Spring/Summer catty but I want it to count towards my sales, etc. Not sure what I'll do yet...
