    Anyone know why the suncreams dont have the UVA star rating like the vast majority in the shops have ?

    Do any of you guys have a half decent printer?

    Ive found printing out my order forms saves a huge amount of time, and looks rather nice too.

    I can get more into the 'message' part too. I do have a template that I can send you via email if you want to PM me. Either in microsoft works wps format or I can save as a word doc. file.

    Good luck with it and keep it up

    i dont write anything on my forms! :o I just stamp a pile of them with my stamp ( with my name phone number and email on) in the "contact details" bit of the form. Then i reuse them until they are tatty.

    All the collect/delivery times and any messages i need to print i print onto slips of paper which i get 6 or more to an a4 page depending how long a message i put. Cut them with a guillotine and pop in front of the books. So if someone doesnt order i just pull out the slip and put a new one in and its good to go for next potential customer..

    i tried printing my order forms but my printer didnt like it and i found i wasted lots of them having to change the collect/delivery dates everytime.


    shows how different people find different things work for them :)

    Thanks, LC and MM. That's appalling! I've just made the mega-mistake of giving a new customer 8 foundation samples. I ordered 3 different shades in different types (twice) but (OK am tight) was expecting to get 15 sachets. When I queried with PC helpline I also got the impression that I should get 5 sachets for the price quoted hence my ordering them twice. Second lot are deffo going back!

    Live and learn. Next time I'll suggest they order full size products and just return whatever they don't want. Even if my new customer orders a foundation I'll now be out of pocket..... :(

    Can't answer that but so far I've only tried the face sun cream F30 - was out all day yesterday afternoon in full sun (put the face cream on my arms, shoulders, etc. - and am still 'lily white' (well almost). Got to admit to being a bit disappointed that I didn't tan at all but guess the F30 works so can't complain. Am going to stock up on the 3 for £9 in C9 before my Summer hols. :T

    On a completely different thread........
    Can I be really nosey and ask whereabouts you are. My OH is in Somerset and will be tagged as a SL for C11. Just wondered how ridiculously far away you would be?

    Thats ok, I learnt the hard way too. My ASM told me they came in 5's, you can imagine my disapointment when I got my first delivery.:(:(:(:(
