I'm totally falling down the rabbit hole with my list lol</p> <p>@Kimberlybee: nope! I actually joined under someone I didn't even know - I saw her post in a moms group and was intrigued. Then saw the discount and was like well why the heck not. Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/usborne-books-1#post-2341216 Sun, 01 Nov 2015 00:21:33 +0000 Kimberlybee 2341216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: I have never heard of this company but it sounds like a good deal. Is it better to sign up with someone local to get the best deals? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/usborne-books-1#post-2341178 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 21:40:19 +0000 misolee 2341178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our school has an usborn book fair. Never realized they were direct sale type. </p> <p>I love love love usborn books and the book fair is great to look through books and buy what you want. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/usborne-books-1#post-2341128 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 20:10:52 +0000 Mrs D 2341128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaBehr: I ditto everything @sorrycharlie: said...right down to joining for the discount and it already paying for itself!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/usborne-books-1#post-2341041 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 15:39:10 +0000 lamariniere 2341041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a few. For me, they are some of the cheapest/easiest new English language books that I can get my hands on. I think they are well made (meaning durable) and usually pretty interesting. I just bought one a few weeks ago from a seller at a flea market (selling new books) and it was a volume with 5 or 6 stories inspired by foreign myths/fairy tales. Overall, I think they are pretty well done, but I don't have much in the way of English language bookstores, so I take what I can get! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/usborne-books-1#post-2340985 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 13:51:41 +0000 youboots 2340985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like them a friend sells them and I may host a party. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/usborne-books-1#post-2340962 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 12:48:03 +0000 looch 2340962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I first saw these books abroad, they sell them in the regular bookstores there, but they are super expensive...so I went looking to find them in the US and I still really like them but haven't purchased any yet. I might now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/usborne-books-1#post-2340948 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 11:54:50 +0000 sorrycharlie 2340948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In my experience it's not very pyramid-y. I mean there's the structure where you can work your way up, but everyone is so laid back! They don't care why you join or what you do, which I love. </p> <p>And parties only have to be $85 to get free stuff, most companies are $200+. As a consultant, if you have a self hosted party, you get both commission and hostess benefits. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/usborne-books-1#post-2340944 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 11:48:56 +0000 Miss Ariel 2340944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaBehr: no it was a Facebook party. I was afraid no one would buy stuff, especially since I never do, but at least 3 people I know did, and I wound up with $20. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/usborne-books-1#post-2340937 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 11:32:37 +0000 sorrycharlie 2340937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaBehr: I joined for the discount! Haha! I've already saved what it cost me :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/usborne-books-1#post-2340927 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 11:13:53 +0000 MamaBehr 2340927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wonderstruck: I hear you! Every five days I'm invited to a Facebook party for something from someone who hasn't spoken to me in ages. That's what makes me wary. But, I wonder if the discount is good enough to make it worth it. </p> <p>@Miss Ariel: did you host a physical party? Did people like the books? Did people buy stuff? I've been to those things and people don't buy stuff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/usborne-books-1#post-2340895 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 09:57:15 +0000 wonderstruck 2340895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This just started up on my friend group, and honestly I felt kind of exasperated about it because direct sales have been EVERYWHERE the last few years. Everyone wants me to buy their scentsy and essential oils and mascara and nail stuff and now we've added something else on....ughhh. This may be irrational because I do buy children's books anyways, but it's not really the same when you're being limited to a specific line of books and feel pressure to buy them on command and host parties where other people feel pressured and bleh. I'm just over direct sales, I don't think I have it in me to make an exception even for books.</p> <p>I think it's okay to say you're selling them if anyone is interested, but I'm over the parties and pressure to host parties. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/usborne-books-1#post-2340880 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 09:32:11 +0000 Miss Ariel 2340880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like them! In general I'm not a fan of direct sales either, but actually hosted a party for them last week. After all it's children's books, something you'll be buying anyways. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/usborne-books-1#post-2340867 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 08:56:32 +0000 MamaBehr 2340867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does anyone here sell it? Buy it? Love it? </p> <p>We have a few of their books and I didn't realize they were direct sales, but now I'm wondering if I should sell it. I like their products!<br /> Just trying to gather information because direct sales/pyramid schemes scare me. </p>
