I placed an order on Thursday and it seems to be taking forever. I know they are probably swamped with all us consultants ordering! I was just wondering if anyone else has tracked a sample order that they put in towards the end of the week and if it's just sitting there saying "received" also?!
I'm not know for being real patient! I just see that show orders are shipping that came in later than my sample orders did. That is probably a seperate division, but I'm curious!
 
I put one in on Wednesday, and it arrived over the weekend. Wanna come over here to play? ;)
 
I ordered mine on Tuesday and it says it shipped yesterday and should be here Thursday :D :love:
 
I have to wait for mine until my paycheck from the furniture store, but I did place a supply order today and I'm hoping they can get it to me before my fundraiser show on Sunday. What's the average turn-around time?
 
It took 4 days from receiving my order to shipping it. Not too bad.
 
I placed an supply order on sunday and got confirmation last night the supply order had shipped out.
 
I placed a samples order on 7/23 and it is due 7/31.
I placed a paperwork order on 7/24 and it is due 7/30.
 
I placed my order on 7/23 and they just finally shipped last week! They sat at picking forever (well it feels that way - I think it sat there from Thu-yesterday)
 
How many sample orders can we place in a month? I want to order from the S/S before I can't, and I also want to order from the F/W. Will I have to pay more shipping?
 
I ordered Thursday...I rec'd it today...Yippie.
 
My order was received by HO and it is still sitting there as "received". I hate waiting!
