I still have not received mine. What about everyone else?
 
Yes, got it about a week ago?
 
got it a few days ago. So aggravating. I know several people who got them as early as 10/31.
 
Have not gotten mine yet!!! Maybe today! :D
 
I haven't gotten mine yet and the mail already came today :devil: I am really annoyed about this, I usually get mine on time and I called Monday to complain because it was the night of our meeting and I wanted to take it with me. The girl told me it was available on line which made me more annoyed because that is not a convenient way for me to read it. If they have so much trouble getting it out to everyone in a timely fashion why can't they go back to sending directors and above early (or even TL)??? Wouldn't that make it easier:bugeye:
 
Haven't gotten mine yet, either. I know one of my downline got hers a few days ago. I haven't gotten my 2012 consultant planner yet, either. Grrrrr

This month was especially late because they wanted to keep things "secret" until our Leader Call. I am grewing very tired of all of this secrecy which causes a delay in my business.
 
Your tiredness in their delays is how I feel about them holding "Fall Launch" as late as the first Saturday in August when 3 weeks later is the start of a new catalog and we all know too well they won't release anything until after the Launches are over. Again...piss poor planning on their part has to constitute an emergency on ours. GRRRR

I expressed my concerns to Tony Solis and Judy Joel when they were in for our Summer Sales Challenge party but I felt totally blown off and was told "it will work out."

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

I always read the CN online as soon as it hits the screen so the mail delivery doesn't concern me as much but I can understand the frustration!
 
I don't have the consultant planner yet either. I just booked a Jan show & had to whip out a regular PC Calendar that I bought to give out to hosts to write down the show. :grumpy: There's only 7 weeks left in the year. I know more than just me book out further than that.
 
Sheila, I got mine last week. You might want to call or check on that! I never use mine - hate their layout. I'm waiting for the one I use to come in...getting anxious as I too have shows already for the new year but have just been putting them on a post it in my current calendar.

I am booking February. No planner, no copy of the Feb specials. Very very frustrating. I know I can read the CN online, but I hate printing flyers, and I want my business material ontime.
 
I just got my planner yesterday (Saturday) so they are still in the process of going out. I agree with all the frustrations mentioned. I get why they wait but I agree they wait too long. Ugg. My biggest disappointment is that directors no longer get anything (or at least very little) ahead of consultants. What happened? When did directors lose their value? Unless we have an exec who shares our consultants often know things before we do. My exec shares nothing - "you get it from HO in plenty of time so I don't bother sending it on" (pretty much a direct quote). I am grateful that people do share here and on CS.
 
I like handing out the host packet when I book the show so that I don't have to follow up & meet them or mail the packet. So I hear you Wendy, I like having the specials available in plenty of time to hand it to the future host when I book the show.(((hugs)))
 
When I have a host schedule a show before I have the specials I give her everything else including a few generic OOF's and email the specials and downloaded OOF's with the guest specials on them. I mail them if the host prefers so only a few cost me less than $1 to send.The only packets I usually have to mail or drop off are those booked over the phone or at the beginning of a new season.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is my stimulus money?

Your stimulus money may be delayed due to various factors, including processing times by the IRS, issues with your tax return, or changes in your bank account information. It's best to check the IRS website for updates and use the "Get My Payment" tool to track your payment status.

What should I do if I haven't received my stimulus check?

If you haven't received your stimulus check, first verify your eligibility and payment status using the IRS "Get My Payment" tool. If there are issues, you may need to contact the IRS directly or consider filing a claim for a Recovery Rebate Credit when you file your taxes.

Why are some people receiving their stimulus money faster than others?

The speed at which stimulus payments are received can vary based on several factors, including how you filed your taxes (electronically or by mail), your payment method (direct deposit or check), and your income level. Those who filed electronically and opted for direct deposit typically receive their payments faster.

What happens if my stimulus payment was sent to the wrong bank account?

If your stimulus payment was sent to the wrong bank account, you should contact your bank to see if they can retrieve the funds. If that is not possible, you may need to file a claim with the IRS to receive your payment through a different method, such as a check or direct deposit to the correct account.

Are there any updates on future stimulus payments?
