I went today to close a show for September, and I finally got the money on Friday and everything all straightened out.... Then when i went to go submit the show today if gave me the 15th of the month error. Uuuuugghhh..

I feel terrible because a lot of my guests got the free cookbooks and my host wanted the forged cutlery set at 60% off.

I couldn't submit it Friday night because I had a cooking show that night.

Do you think if I call home office and explain the situation they will help me work something out?
 
No, honestly they won't work something out with you. Sorry. When that happens you just have to bite it & explain what happened & change the host & guest special. I've done it before & learned my lesson.
 
No, calling HO will not do you any good. The guidelines very clearly say that the show needs to be submitted by the 15th of the following month. I'd add the cookbooks to the host order so you get them at a discount and then make the knife block a half price item and pay the extra 10% yourself. Hard lesson to learn.
 
If you do that (purchase the cookbooks), remember to put the dishcloths on those orders. You could keep and sell them to make up for the cost of the cookbooks. Remember that you'll receive commission on the portion of the cookbooks you pay for.

Talked to my host, Made up the difference with the Forged Carving Set, only 11.50 because she never used her half price item. Everyone was ok with the towels and I also gave them this season and last seasons season best and a citrus peeler because I felt bad.
 
Glad it worked out for you! :D
 
I think a lot of us have learned that lesson. when they say the 15th, they mean the 15th. I did it too just after they changed the date to the 15th. I ma just glad your host and her guests were OK with it. Mine were not and it cost me dearly.
 
I'm glad she was okay with it.
