First thing this morning TF makes me ill..long rant...

FSN only here! Got rid of everyone else, no debt on wire services, we are in NH, the live free or die state, I chose to live free of wire services and haven't looked back! Still trying to get rid of those FTD and Bloomlink containers, e-bay maybe????? :dunno:

Sure, I wish all the WS stop selling containers and let us use what we want to. Unfortunately this is not happening.

Why do you feel you have to order the containers? I haven't ordered any WS containers in probably 15 years and my customers don't miss them. Few if any even request them on outgoing.

The sooner you make the break and start educating your customers the sooner you won't feel obligated to order those @@@@ containers. Although I must admit we still have 'fond' memories of the TF Gravy Boat that has now been the white elephant gift amongst family members for at least 25 years. I don't think TF intended it, but it's the gift that brings laughter to our Christmas' year after year!

I'm not buying the containers...but I cannot opt out of the foolish book either...It is yet another catch 22 with them...they force their book on you to try to sell the containers, if in fact there are 500 images in this book in their containers, if I don't want the @@@@ containers why should I have to buy the book??? I was told that the book is part of membership and I have to have it, but the containers are by choice, it is just silly to me...I do use some of their containers, but most never sell, more or less it is very very novelty things that sell like the wagons and ducks..I do well with their funeral containers, they are actually nice and affordable for the look...
 
Personally, the only time I use the book is when wiring something or for showing sympathy work. I'm not concerned about the containers because we stock their sympathy containers because they are so nice. The rest of the book we can just explain that most stores won't have "this" container or "that" container.
Pain in the ass, but we only wire a few orders a month anyway
