Understanding your order form

Di_Can_Cook · 02-28-2009, 01:57 AM

OK ... I am fed up with people who don't understand a basic order form ... and noticed I lacked a detailed instruction sheet ....so I have decided to make one up.

I've decided to share ... I had to reduce the type to get it all on one sheet. There is info specific to my state (we don't tax shipping) and my cluster (and its involvement in Round Up.)

Feel free to download and customize.

This is great! I am doing my first catalog show and it is frustrating b/c the host brings me the order form to figure out and then brings it back to the person to get the payment. If I gave her this with a tax table then it will definitely simplify it! Thanks so much for taking the time to make this

Thanks for sharing. I will out this with all my host packets. I think that people tend to be afraid of doing outside orders because of that form.

Happy Saturday!

Very nice, Di! I am going to use it as well. You may have already caught this, but I did notice you have one typo; near the bottom, you have "only one one copy" instead of "only on one copy". Thought I'd let you know

.

Thanks again for sharing!

Thanks this is great. I just got a bunch of order with no address, phone, etc. Some with only first names. I changed it for me, because CO does tax shipping. not food though but UT does. OH! And people can't figure tax either, I have 3 orders that are wrong, 2 are short and 1 is way over!!

Di, you might change yours where its says "The Pampered Chef does not tax food" Its the state not TPC that taxes things. JMO on changing.

This is awesome! Thanks!

I've had a a certain catalog show host I've been having problems with. So this will deffinately help!

Thanks, Di! I fixed it to work for me in NH and hope it helps. (for those that read, lol!)

Di_Can_Cook · 03-01-2009, 09:35 PM

The reason I put "The Pampered Chef does not tax shipping in Ohio...." because for some strange reason, EVERY other party plan taxes shipping. Only makes a quarter's difference, which doesn't matter if they round up.

Thanks for catching the typo ... too late for my newest host packet ... but I will fix it.

Very nice, Di! Thanks for sharing. Isn't that crazy about other ds companies taxing shipping here? I mention it every time I order through one of them! I'm really not sure how they get away with it.

Thanks for starting this thread. I live in Colorado and as many of you know I'm off to a rough start. Today I had a customer call me and ask what her order was. I totaled it and she said I'm a bookkeeper and you can't tax shipping. So I did it on P3 and got the same thing and I was very courteous but explained that I can't override the computer program. She did agree to pay the amount but has anyone else had this come up? I'm thinking of borrowing your sheet but maybe revising it to explain about the taxes and shipping. Not sure yet but yours was great.

Thanks

Judy

It's all set by her state, not even PC! Plus the shipping is only $4.25, how much extra did she really have to pay?
