I placed a personal order on the 3rd for around 150$ with some PC dollars. ANything I order always ships within like 2 or 3 days. This order however, when I click on Shipment Status in CC, it has a status listed as "Picking". I have tried to look up a definition for what that may mean, and am coming up with nothing. It has had this status listed since Thursday? Just wondering if anyone knew what it meant or if this means there is something delaying the order? I hope its not delayed, as I ordered the DCB, and was hoping to have it for a show on Friday :cool:
 
The order is in the warehouse to be picked...it will update to shipped when shipped.

My June 30th KE order didn't ship until 7/5 and 6/30 show on 7/6.

Hope that helps... (It's end of month/incentives for June and with 4th of July things slowed down a couple days).
 
Unfortunately, at a busy time like this (sell a thon), our orders are usually a lower priority. I am sure there are a number of people still submitting June shows and getting in their July shows.

Actually Anne, this round my kit order shipped the night before my show order (almost 16 hours apart) and I submitted them only 8-10 minutes apart.
 
Regardless, have a back-up plan for your Friday show!

Frequently Asked Questions

What does "Picking" mean in the context of my Pampered Chef order status?

"Picking" refers to the process where warehouse staff are gathering the items from your order to prepare them for shipping. This means your order is being processed and the items are being selected from inventory.

How long does the "Picking" stage usually take?

The duration of the "Picking" stage can vary depending on the volume of orders being processed at the time. Typically, it can take anywhere from a few hours to a couple of days. If it takes longer than expected, it may be due to high demand or inventory issues.

What should I do if my order is stuck in "Picking" for too long?

If your order remains in the "Picking" stage for an unusually long time (usually more than 3-5 days), it’s best to contact Pampered Chef customer service for assistance. They can provide updates and help resolve any issues.

Will I receive a notification once my order has moved past "Picking"?

Yes, once your order has moved past the "Picking" stage and is ready for shipping, you will typically receive a notification via email or through your Pampered Chef account. This notification will include tracking information for your shipment.

Can I change my order while it is in the "Picking" stage?

Generally, once an order is in the "Picking" stage, changes cannot be made. However, you should contact customer service as soon as possible if you need to make adjustments, as they may be able to assist you before the order is finalized for shipping.
