Anyone receive their suprise boxes yet?

[AZPampered Chef]

I had mine FedExed from conference....one Monday and one Tuesday. I cannot wait to get them! Just wondering if anyone got theirs yet. I live in AZ.

[pamperedtracy]

I couldn't go to conference this year, so my friend got me some boxes and shipped them to me. I got them yesterday, Wed. about 12:30 or so. So I don't know if she bought them Mon. or Tues.

It was sooooo much fun going through the boxes.

Christmas in July!! Woo Hoo

Tracy

[Christ Follower]

Not yet and I bought them on Monday.

[momoftwins]

I have not got mine yet but I also have not checked on the tracking either. I bought mine on Tuesday night.

[chefann]

I bought one yesterday morning, and it was delivered this morning! I'm in the Detroit area, and usually things take 2 days from HO.

[AZPampered Chef]

I have not got mine yet but I also have not checked on the tracking either. I bought mine on Tuesday night.


Tracking....BRILLIANT! I hadn't thought to check that. I better go dig out my shipping receipts. Thanks!

[momoftwins]

It usually only takes 2 days for stuff to ship to me too from HO so I am assuming I should get mine by tomorrow for sure! I can't wait as I also put a shirt from Merrill in there as well as some mini catalogs, etc.

[MomToEli]

I got mine today and I bought it Tuesday. I bought one Wednesday and carried it home (part of my luggage struggle!).

That was fun! I will definitely buy more boxes next year. I'm going to use most of the stuff for give aways. A few for gifts.

[AZPampered Chef]

OK I tracked them both down, and the first is scheduled to be delivered TODAY (yippee!!!) and the other should be here tomorrow.

[pamela]

What did you all get?

[JAE]

I don't know if they can tell you because it's a surprise for the wave 2 and wave 3 conference attendees. It's a surprise until you see everyone else opening their boxes.

[chefann]

Actually, since the surprise boxes are discontinued things, they're usually OK to discuss. ;)

I got some old SBRCs, some bread tubes, old can opener.... I got one of the "ancient" boxes (there are themes this year).

[missydivine]

What types of themes?

[chefann]

I don't remember the exact names, but they essentially were:

"Ancient" - real blast-from-the-past items that have been out of the catalog for at least a couple of years
"Consultant" - logo items that were offered as incentives by HO (not things from AIM), like conference totes, etc.
"Recent" - recently retired items like leaf linens, white TTA, etc.

[smarteez2]

things in their boxes they do not want give me a heads up I might be interested in purchasing them :o)

[Cassie1037]

Do you get a reasonable amount of things in the boxes, enough to purchase? I mean, what would you think the discount is? I am debating wether or not I NEED to get one (or two hehe), because I have quite a few give away items at home already.

Please, someone counsel me? :confused:

4!! I love them. There was a ton of stuff in each box and the stuff I didn't like I would give as host gifts etc.!!

[Christ Follower]

Well just for an example, I got a $25 box and right on top there were 2 runners that originally sold for $39. Plus a quick-stir pitcher, twixits, SB cookbooks, kitchen towel, corer, toater bags, stencils and more that I can't remember. Well worth the $25!

Wow, $25? That sounds like quite a bargain! I think I will have to invest.

Thank you!

[Christ Follower]

Also, you can ship them right there at conference so you don't have to lug them around all day. They can take the cost of shipping right out of your next commission check.

[Cassie1037]

Are the conference totes large enough to fit a surprise box and a binder in?

[chefann]

No. The tote is more of a "snacks and paperwork" size. The surprise boxes are show shipping boxes. Granted, some are in the smaller shipping boxes, but they're still to big to go into the tote.

[Cassie1037]

Ouch! :eek: I was planning on putting my laptop (very slender) and my Consultant binder in my tote... does that mean it will not all fit? :o

[chefann]

Those should fit - but it's not a "Take everything but the kitchen sink" size. Don't forget that everything you take, you'll have to lug around McCormick place - miles and miles of walking!

[Cassie1037]

Will I even use my laptop, realistically? I'm really starting to doubt all my plans :p

[ChefBeckyD]

Those should fit - but it's not a "Take everything but the kitchen sink" size. Don't forget that everything you take, you'll have to lug around McCormick place - miles and miles of walking!

And a tote that at the beginning of the day seems to be very light, by the middle of the afternoon will somehow magically become about 1000 lbs heavier......how does that happen?:confused:

[chefann]

Will I even use my laptop, realistically? I'm really starting to doubt all my plans :p
Unless you use it for taking notes, don't even bother taking it. I find it faster to use a notepad and pencil during workshops.

[ChefBeckyD]

Will I even use my laptop, realistically? I'm really starting to doubt all my plans :p


I don't think so.....I was going to bring mine, because I took the tech class - but they have computers there for you to use for that.....most of the other workshops have handout sheets specifically for that class to use for taking notes....and alot of the time in the General Sessions, you are sitting in the dark. I think you can manage just fine w/o your laptop.....especially since it gains so much weight while carrying it around at conference!;)

[Cassie1037]

WOW!!! I am glad I mentioned something about it... I would have packed my laptop unnecessarily. Thank you, thank you, thank you soo much! :)

[momoftwins]

I received my box today! Woo Hoo! It is just like Christmas in July! LOL!

[smarteez2]

What box did you get and what did you get in......share share

[KimmyDarling]

mine arrived today!

[MomToEli]

Ouch! :eek: I was planning on putting my laptop (very slender) and my Consultant binder in my tote... does that mean it will not all fit? :o

Honest - I would NOT take your laptop unless you absolutely have to and are willing to leave it in your room. That is one lesson I learned from this trip ... those totes get way heavy with just normal stuff in them. A laptop will become a desktop pc by the end of the first day ... :eek:

[AZPampered Chef]

Oh my gosh, I cannot tell you how excited I was about my boxes. I bought a $15 one on my first day, had it shipped home, and here is what is in the box:

deep dish baker (YES!!! Someone traded for the patriotic apron I had)
family size quick stir pitcher
ice shaver
easy accent decorator
lg micro cooker (plum color)
ANOTHER easy accent decorator (traded for some fall linens, I think)
stoneware crock (I tried to trade, but lots of these floating around)
stoneware tote (traded someone for ???)
nylon whisk
non-stick pancake mold, heart shaped
fizz keeper to put on 2-liter bottle
pack of SB from 2001 with envelopes
"The Pampered Chef Favorites" cookbook from 1992

I really want to go through and calculate the "actual retail value," but haven't had the chance yet.

So you decide, is it worth it?? I think so!! BTW, Shipping for this box was approx. $15.00

My second box will be here tomorrow, and I will list the contents when I open it. I know there is another deep dish baker, a mini baker, a small quick stir pitcher, and a patriotic apron. (This was a $15 box, too)

Now, neither one of my original boxes had any stoneware but I traded for it all. Some of the $50 boxes have 2 DDB in them.

[chefann]

I got a $10 box. Because I was just getting it to ship home mini catalogs and recipe cards. :)

This is what I got:
1 pack S/S 2001 SBRC (6) with envelopes
Flower, heart and star bread tubes
blue tumblers
old can opener
TPC Favorites II cookbook (1994)
Cookies cookbook (1989)
lots of bubble wrap (what can I say, I'm a popper)

I only really NEED the cookbooks (including SBRC). So if anyone wants to make an offer on the other stuff, I'm listening.

I have a feeling that once everyone gets back from conference there will be a lot of activity at the Marketplace!

The trading tables crack me up....I felt like I was on the floor at Wall Street! But I was right there, "who wants to trade for a stoneware crock? Anyone need a crock?"

[chefann]

I do. :)

A cluster-mate dubbed it "The Piranha Pit" the first year they had it, and the name's stuck. It was particularly apt that year. I swear, you could have gotten first-born children for some items!

Sure! I'll take them to the PO tomorrow to get a ship quote, but I can fit them into a priority box no prob.
So, if I ship priority, how's $15 sound total?

[smarteez2]

Let me know the account to send the money to via paypal. Thank you so much Ann!! I love the tubes. They are great for so many things but I use them most for cutting up pineapple!! LOL

Hey, Ann...I just asked them for a smaller box to ship home my new paperwork. I didn't buy a surprise pack.

I'm STILL waiting for mine! I mailed them Monday and I thought they'd be here by now!!! I'm so anxious to get my goodies!

Old stoneware crock (old hen logo)
Hunter green stoneware crock (2)
SBRC (one with the strawberry amaretto pastries on them) (6)

my safe cutter
old bar board
old cutting board (middle one)

I am drawing a blank as to what else I got!
Sorry but I am so needing to get to bed!

[luvbeingachef]

I am so.....jealous of all the attendees! I dislike flying so much that I've never attended and have always wanted to. Those boxes sound like so much fun. I'd love to purchase a patriotic apron from someone if they want to sell it! Can't wait to read more about it.

[chefann]

Hey, Ann...I just asked them for a smaller box to ship home my new paperwork. I didn't buy a surprise pack.
Yeah, I thought about doing that, but I'm glad I have a few of the old SBRC now (my box of retired ones got wet and they were all runied. I loved those things for door prizes!)

[etteluap70PC]

I think mine is here!!!! Fed EX in in my driveway!!!!

My friend, was a first time conference attendee and so I had to help her wheel and deal. It was a blast!

I got mine on Thursday, shipped it home, and when I got there home last night, it was waiting for me. So conference fun actually lasted 1 more day for me.

[Christ Follower]

Yes! Mine finally came yeaterday! I almost forgot what was in it!

[momoftwins]

how about toaster bags??????? Otherwise let me know if there is anything else in particular that you are looking for or just how much you want for the fizz keeper! Thanks!

[nicki25]

I bought my box on Thursday (the 12th) and I got the products at my house on Saturday (the 14th). It was at my house when I got home from conference. I bought the $15 box of the oldies. Here is what I got:
Red, White & Blue Apron
Cookies Cookbook (which will be great for my cookie swap shows)
Baker's Roller
Leaf Napkin Set
Leaf Towel Set
Square Bread Tube
6 Season's Best Recipe books with envelopes (From Spring/Summer 01)
Yellow Stoneware Crock
Bar-B-Boss
The Pampered Chef Favorites II cookbook
Heart Shaped Bread Tube
Stoneware Trivet
Stoneware Carrier

I think it was definately worth the $15 that I spent on it. I am going to use some of the items for the next Quarter Auction that I do.

I had started a thread a few months ago about Quarter Auctions. It is called Quarter Auctions, but am not sure how to attach the threads. Let me know if you don't find it and I will explain it again. Thanks!!

[Chef Bobby]

I brought my two suprise boxes to our cluster meeting last night and held an auction. I got most of my money back by selling about three things. I still have a big box full. Like Christmas in July.

Bobby

[mommyhugz1978]

I just got my box today!!!! WHOO Christmas in JULY!!! :D

[StacieB]

Got mine today. I bought a $10 and a $15 box on Friday. Quick shipping for sure!!

[mommyhugz1978]

I orderd a $25 and $50 boxes at confernce then combined them into one big box!!

[GourmetGirl]

I got my $50 box today as well! Yay!

[DanielleQ]

I hope my box comes today. I didn't buy a surprise box, but FedEx let me ship my new paperwork home. It's been a week, I think it should be here today.

[Chef Bobby]

I over packed for conference and had two big suitcases. I shipped one home fed ex. The second day of wave 2 I had already shipped my suprise boxes home, but I went to the tables where everyone was swapping and bought several things with cash and shipped that home too. I need to stay away from that area. Way too tempting.

Well that makes me sad. I sent mine on Thursday and they said I should get it by Tuesday. Well guess what? I had my mtg tonight (Tues) and no box. I tracked it and it said it should be here today on Wednesday. no good today! I wanted to show off the trivet!:rolleyes:

[DanielleQ]

I got mine today. It shipped out Tuesday, but I'm in California where it takes FOREVER to get things!

[Chef Bobby]

The box that I shipped when I paid cash instead of trading came in today. I'm going to use one (of three) of my stoneware crocks to display extra tools that I have for sale at craft fairs. I need another one because my tool turn about is too full.

The unglazed bread crock was before my time.
