I am a Tastefully Simple Team Leader and I just want to reach out to anyone who is thinking about purchasing Tastefully Simple items on eBay.  First, I am so amazed at how outdated a lot of the products up for auction are.  I understand the joy and excitement of finding your favorite retired item but trust me, this isn't the way to go about getting it.  Most of our products have an 18 month shelf life and so many of the products that I am seeing for sale are way past that date.  (I can tell this because our packaging changes every season as does a lot of our product line and I see things that are over 2 years old!)  As if that weren't bad enough, the prices that I am seeing being charged for the product themselves as well as shipping is just outrageous.  Wouldn't you rather receive FRESH product direct from our warehouse with reasonable shipping than product where you don't know how long that person has had it sitting on their shelf?  Did that person keep it in the proper climate control consultants need to follow for food safety?  Besides, shipping from our warehouse is just $6.99 for orders under $50 and 10% of your order for anything over $50. 

I don't want your Tastefully Simple experience to be a bad one and I just feel STRONGLY that you can't trust what you are getting here.  Please, if you really want to order Tastefully Simple, find a consultant (any consultant can ship anywhere in the United States).  I am so proud to do what I do and I want you to get the most out of your money and receive fresh, safe, delicious Tastefully Simple product.  It just burns me to see anyone get taken advantage of or witness anything that could do damage to the quality Tastefully Simple name.  Thanks for listening!
