Do I Have to Purchase My Display or Marketing Items from Paparazzi?
No. As an Independent Consultant, you are allowed to use the Independent Consultant logo provided to you in your back office. You can make your own business cards, banners, posters, flyers, etc. You can also make your own displays or purchase them from wherever you want. It's completely up to you. -- You cannot, however, alter the logo in any way.
​
Can I see a catalog or order online as a customer?
Although we do not have catalogs, consultants have a Replicated Site Shopping Cart! All customers have the option to purchase online through the consultant’s free site or a hostess’s online party! All orders are subject to $5.95 shipping and local state tax. Each consultant orders their own inventory. Paparazzi is always changing their products to keep up with the latest fashion trends, so there are no catalogs available. There is always NEW inventory! Literally every single day, M-F! Customers can buy what consultants have in stock at in-home parties/Facebook and cash and carry events.
​
As a Consultant, can I charge less/more than $1 or $5 plus tax for the products?
No. When you purchase jewelry from Paparazzi, you will be charged sales tax on the retail price of $1 (Starlet Shimmer) or $5 (adult), even though you are purchasing it for a wholesale price. Paparazzi takes care of reporting/filing all the sales tax so you don’t have to. Consultants recoup that extra charge by adding tax on each item. You are responsible for filing income taxes for the income you make on the jewelry. Consultants either sell their items for $1 or $5 flat or for $1 or $5 plus tax. It’s up to you which option you’d like to sell your items for. According to Paparazzi Policies and Procedures, we cannot advertise our items using the Paparazzi logo for more than $5 unless it says plus tax (same thing for the $1 items) or if it's a Fundraising opportunity. We are also not allowed to sell our items for less than $1 or $5.
What About Sales Tax?
You will be charged sales tax on the retail value of each piece you order. Paparazzi is required to do this. This is intended to ensure that each state tax agency is made whole on any potential sales from the transactions of that wholesale product. The sales tax is charged at the local level of the place where the order is shipped. Paparazzi collects these taxes at the time of wholesale inventory purchase and remits it to the state on behalf of the Retail Sale that the Consultant may now have.
​
This also allows the Paparazzi Consultant the option of charging their local taxes on their Customer transactions and recuperate that cost, or absorbing it into their business structure; while at the same time not bringing any uncovered sales tax liability on Paparazzi or the Consultant.
What is the Guarantee?
When your customers purchase through your replicated Paparazzi website their request for return must be made within 10 business days of receipt to be eligible for a full refund. To initiate a return, the customer must contact Paparazzi Support at (855) 697-2727 to obtain a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. Upon approval, a shipping label will be provided to the customer.
​
All returns need to have the RMA number clearly marked on the outside of the package and must be shipped to:
Paparazzi Accessories
Attn: Returns
39 S. Main Street
Hurricane, UT 84737
​
When YOU receive your inventory shipment from Paparazzi, you have three (3) days to look it over and notify them if anything is broken and not repairable.
Most items are repairable, simply by squeezing shut a jump ring (these are the small, circular rings used in most jewelry making processes). To initiate a return, you will do so online by logging in to your account.
