Default Tell me how your company charges for shipping Please

I am curious to know what the other party plan companies charge for shipping to the customers. Please share with me what company you are with and what they charge. Thank you

I'm with Silpada Designs. All orders ship direct to the customer for a flat $5 fee. Hostesses pay no shipping for their order with at least three customer orders from their party.

Also, customers and representatives are not responsible for return shipping costs for returns/exchanges. We're given prepaid labels to use to ship back returns.

Norwex has the same policies, only it's is $4.95 per order. I've paid a LOT more for products ordered from other companies so I keep waiting for it to go up, but so far the rate is holding steady.

I don't do DS right now, but when I just ordered from Pampered Chef and it was about $5 or $6 just to have it shipped to the hostess.

I ordered Usborne recently, and orders were $5.95 shipping OR 8% of your order, whichever was highest if you are having it shipped directly to you.

The last time I ordered Longaberger I think it was about the same, $6ish for direct shipping or a certain % if you had a big order.

Default Longaberger

I used to be with Longaberger and a big part of why I am not actively selling it was because my customers were charged 13% shipping plus the 7% tax on the shipping. So they could figure adding an additional 20% to their already overpriced basket and I just did not feel right doing that to people.

Thanks ladies. I just wanted to see how our new policy fits in with other party plan businesses.

Vault Denim is $1.95 .... and yes you get your item that night but it is to off set the shipping charges for us to get the jeans! As soon as your pair is entered as sold the inventory girls are ordering new jeans ....we ALWAYS go to a party with like 120 to 130 pair so the turn around is fast
