8 ==> Canadian (& Int.) members, you CAN order from the US catalogue!
Frustrated that not ALL the products that the US market offers are available in your country outside the US? GOOD NEWS—you don't have to be!
Now, even though the Canadian & other countries Young Living markets are still working on getting certain products approved for re-sale so they're not in your catalogue, there is a pretty cool workaround!
TWO workarounds, actually! (see the second option at the end!)
We are actually able to order "NOT FOR RESALE" (aka "NFR") direct from the US market! All this means is that we are free to purchase the items we want cross-border, but they can only be for personal use (since very few members actually "retail" oils anyway--we all order for personal use, let's be honest!). Hey, we can live with that, right?
View this informal tutorial (by one of our fabulous Young Living Leaders Carla Green RE: Canadian NFR ordering) on how to do that from your Virtual Office...
FOR MORE INFORMATION about NFR on the Young Living Website, click HERE.
(FYI: when we order from our own market, that is called "OTG", or "ON THE GROUND"; our products ship from an in-country Young Living warehouse and don't have to cross the US border.)
NOW... here's the other great option for hard to get oil-infused YL products such as Thyromin, Cortistop, Mineral Essence, etc. that aren't even available via the NFR option...
You can choose to DROP SHIP them!
This is how I do it...
I got an account with MyUs.com, based out of Florida in the US. Basically, you get assigned your own PO box at their location, and can have anything sent there that can only be sent within the US. They then forward it on to your address on file for the cost of shipping and a small handling fee. Done!
MONEY-SAVING HINT: if your order is over 100 PV, you will get FREE shipping to the MyUS address, and then all you're paying is the forwarding postage from there. Of course you have a little longer wait time as it navigates to the two separate locations, but totally do-able if you're patient!
Where to find the Drop Ship option in your Virtual Office? TWO WAYS...
When you're logged in on the Young Living site, click on the American flag at the top left of your screen, then click on "Monthly Order". You will then see the grey tabs to choose "NFR Monthly Order", "DropShip Monthly Order", "Rewards Points", etc. (This entails setting up a separate ER monthly order for the items you want, but personally this what I have chosen to do, as I WANT the option to get those precious products of choice every month!) This can of course be edited or opted out of at any time... but the good news is that this also builds your overall ER points towards more free products!
You can also choose to just do a one-time order via "SHOP" (or "QUICK ORDER" in some countries). Be sure to choose the "US - English" catalogue, then of course provide your MyUS-assigned address for your shipping address. You will still get free shipping if your order is over 100 PV, but just know that you won't earn any ER points back.
Easy peasy!
Hello Stephen! If you want to acquire Loyalty points with your Drop Ship purchases, you would actually be setting up a separate monthly order for the Drop Ship cart. Same goes for NFR purchases from the US market. I personally have that set up for both, as I always have at least 50 PV in purchases from both markets each month to warrant the monthly purchases.
