Ok, I have to admit, I almost feel guilty posting here because I'm not a WAHM but this is the best message board I've found about Arbonne!! I don't even have children yet, but when I do I plan to be a WAHM so I hope that counts :-)
Anyway, I am REALLYexcited to be joining Arbonne and the only reason I haven't yet is because my upline has been busy and hasn't given me the info I need to register online (a registration code???). I want her to get the credit so I'll give her a few more days but in the meantime I have a couple questions:
1) I've read on a few websites that every new consultant is required to make a minimum $100 retail purchase with their $29 sign-up fee. Is that correct?
2) Are samples of EVERY product available and if so, is there an average cost?Do most people give the samples away or expect themback at some point?
Thanks for your help!

NO, there is NO minimum order requirement with your $29 sign-up fee! However, if you have a minimum $100 Retail order within your first calendar month you qualify for a FREE product- many choose the RE9 night cream ($72 value)
The majority of the skin care lines are available in sample packs, excluding the Clear Advantage and the befoRE Sun. No samples of theAromaessentials, Figure8, About Face Color, Bio-Nutria. The sample packs are a one user type thing, some give them away, some charge per pack. The cost differs on product and quantity. For example- the RE9 samples are $22.50/10 pack when order is under10/10 packsand $15.00/10 pack when order is10/10 packs or more. Basics run $17.50-$12.50/10 pack. Thermal Fusion Enzyme Masque runs $2.50 for a 12-pack. Shampoo/conditioner duo's run $5.00/10 pack. Did I explain that well enough?
If your sponsor has a website, you can sign up for your account there without needing a registration code from her. Call her and let her know how serious you are about getting your account started. Most consultants will drop whatever they are doing when someone as eager as you are comes a-callin'! smileys/smiley4.gif

Thanks so much for your answer. You explained it thoroughly, which is just what I was looking for.
Unfortunately my upline doesn't have a website and is tied up at a conference all weekend so hopefully I'll be able to get officially signed up on Monday!
