Snail mail or Priority submitting Demo paperwork?
 
I'm just curious which way all the new Demos mailed out the paperwork for their starter kits?

I mailed mine by regular snail mail on Monday and now regretting that I didn't Priority mail it, so which did all you do?

Thanks
Sharon

Hi Sharon
 
I'm like you. Mine went snail mail (my upline actually mailed it for me. She wanted to make copies, since we filled out the form from the website), and I'm regretting that I didn't take it from her and mail it priority mail myself. This wait is excruciating!

My paperwork was mailed last Thursday, and I'm hearing from some others on the board that theirs was received and a demo # issued for them at around the same timeframe, so I think I'm going to call Demo Services today and ask them to give me my number over the phone. Hopefully, I can at least surf the SU Demo site and the Demo site here for a few days. Maybe that'll give me my "fix" until my demo kit is delivered.

Good luck in your new endeavor. I hope your # and kit come soon,

I haven't actually filled my paperwork out yet - plan to meet with my demo today to do this. But, I am sure glad I just read your post! I wouldn't have thought to send it Priority, but that is a great idea!!

I sent my paperwork last Monday (July 25th) and was in their system by Wednesday (July 27th). I don't think it would have happened any quicker if I'd wasted the money on priority mail. I received my starter kit yesterday!!! :D

Oh, I live in Oklahoma City, OK...if you want geographical results! ;)

where did you mail yours from? Trying to guess estimate how long it took to get there.

As you may have guessed from my username mione is coming all the way from Arkansas. The wait is going to be the death of me yet!!!

Plan on cleaning house all day (if I ever get off here away from this site LOL!!!), 1, to pass the day along, 2, once my kit gets here, you can forget about any housecleaning for a couple of days I'm sure! LOL!

I tip my hat to all of us NEW DEMOS!!! Beer for all my horses, but CHAMPAGNE for all us DEMOS!!!!

Blessings
Sharon :D

Where in AR are you? I'm originally from Little Rock area. I've found that mail is pretty quick to and from that area in general. The other parts of AR, however, I'm not so confident.

I sent off the ppwork last week Monday and my upline checked with SU, had my Demo # by Thursday. I am getting my Starter Kit today! I'm in NC by the way.

scrappinhillbilly 08-03-2005 07:29 AM

Hi Karen!

I live up in the extreme NE corner of Arkansas and know that all of our mail in our area goes to Jonesboro and then I think Memphis instead of Little Rock. I'm only guessing but I've seen the mail truck semi's and it says StFrancis/Memphis on them.

But who knows with memhis being a big midway point in the country things pretty fly in and out of there pretty quick. So hopefully it won't be long and I may call them if i haven't heard anything by email tomorrow afternoon.

Sitting her on pins and needles!

I sent mine regular snail mail, but have mailed in the paperwork for my DownLine Priority. Mainly because we are on the east coast so it takes longer to get there, and because with one at least it was toward the very end of a promotion period so I wanted to be sure it got there in time. Once the paperwork is received in the office, the turnaround is very fast. Your upline should know as soon as it is posted by the numbers on her start page (I knew when I went from 0 to 1 in my dl numbers that the paperwork went through).

Good Luck to you all and Welcome to the Family!

I mailed mine priority mail on saturday with delivery confirmation so I was able to see they had rec'd it Monday. Wednesday before 10am I had my demo # and have been cruising the demo section of the website woo hoo! The new mini cattie is awesome!

I didn't really consider it a waste to send it priority mail - it gave me peace of mind since it had my credit card information on it and then I knew it arrived quickly.

I mailed my priority mail on Friday and had my Demo # Tues morning. I thought that was pretty fast :D

I sent mine on Monday, snailmail. Wish I would have done priority now!

I sent mine last Tuesday 7/26 Priority Mail from PA. Thursday they received it and Friday I received my Welcome Email with my Demo# and temp. password. My kit is to come tomorrow (Thursday 8/4)!! Woohoo
Bring it on UPS man!!

8 days to get the kit
 
I sent mine via snail mail from California last Wednesday and I have been in the system since Monday. My kit is scheduled to arrive tomorrow so that will be 8 days total. I have been surfing the demo area of the SU! website and that Holiday mini-catalog is awesome. I guess I know what the majority of my 30% discount order will be spent on.

Good for me though because I sent in my paperwork before the special was announced so when I called I added it on!! Free ink pads woo hoo!! anyways they finally got it on Tuesday and I had my kit the following Wed. Took 2 weeks!!! Stinks living this far away from SU maybe I should move!!! LOL

i live in Ca too. been in the system since monday and get my stuff tomarrow. so a comparision for CA priority vs snail mail...is 3 days. i'm not a patient person, that's why i sent it priority...

I just signed up last night and left the paperwork with my UL... hoping that she sent it in today. I guess the only way to submit the starter kit order is through the mail? She said she was going to look to see if she could do it online somehow or would mail it today. So they send you your demo number and password to the demo web site via email? Also, I'm curious... does anyone know if you can request which color family of free stamp pads you want? I hand wrote on my form that I would like the soft subtles, figuring that many of the basic colors already came in the starter kit and I really love that particular color family :). I'm really excited and it's great to see that I'm not the only one LOL.
