I thought we didn't get a changeover kit unless we were active, but I got one yesterday with all the new spring and summer materials and I have not been active for 3 months. I got the kit two days after I decided to leave PC..lol. What should I do with it? Am I able to return it to PC? If not does anyone here want to purchase it?Also since I am no longer selling PC do I need to email someone and tell them so my consultant number and stuff is no longer useable or do i just wait it out til may when my 6 months of inactivity is up and I am automatically done with pc? I know I am getting charged for insurance and now the changeover kit.. which that stuff would come out of my checks if i was still selling... Any advice??
 
My director said they seem to be weird on how they are doing the change over kit - every season has not been the same! You can call them and see what they would like to do with it or sell it here - just remember they will charge you $6.50 for it. Not sure if they will refund that if you ship it back.

If you officially want to quit then you can call and ask to "resign". Otherwise I suggest waiting out the 6 months, you never know what will happen in 6 months.
 
Maybe it's a sign that you shouldn't quit! ;) I agree with Wadegirl, I'd call and see what HO would like you to do.
 
Too funny!

I was waiting to see if I got a CO kit. The last I submitted was November. If I didn't get a CO kit, then that was OK, I'd be done.

BUT - since I got a CO kit - I am excited and will turn in a few more shows here or there!

So, I am glad they are a little more lax on the requirements of who gets a CO kit (as opposed to the whole consecutive month thing for KE).

Since they sent me a CO kit, they will get some more sales from me!
 
You can send it to me! I still didn't get one :(

Well if anyone wants it is it $6.50 plus shipping, because I am done selling. PM me if you want it with your zipcode so I can check on getting a shipping cost for you. It does have a full pack of catalogs... has anyone shipped a pack of catalogs to anyone recently and remember how much it cost?
 
I din't think I would get the kit either, so I ordered spring paperwork and got both delivered on the same day....oh well, extra catalogs to carry me through the months :)
 
I would def buy it from you for $6.50 plus shipping... My zip is 35042 and you could send it media mail, I think... Gonna PM you now
