OK i was technically in active for July-had a show july 31st but dind't send it in until Aug 4th.

Now in one of the latest weekly emails it said people who were in active in July couldn't get a sample package until they submitted sales for August. Well i submitted mine and now it's still not letting me see or order the sample packages.

Anyone else having this problem? My july 31st show that i submitted Aug 4th has already shipping and it's showing in my consulant connections, the show was over $800 so it counts as a show. Thanks for the help.

If not i figure i'll wait till Tuesday and see if it works itself out and then call HO
 
Have you tried to place the order through P3?
 
I also submitted my only July show in August. I believe it was August 3rd, but I did receive my Fall/winter packet and yesterday try to submit a sample order on P3 and it worked fine. I'll say you should contact the HO.
 
I only had $27 in sales last month (no one to blame but myself!) so technically I am inactive. However, I ordered my samples on Monday and they arrived today.

I'm guessing it has nothing to do with the cart on CC. If I were you I would create the order in P3, (non-commission, samples) and try to submit it. Good luck!

Just tried P3, as soon as i put in the order take and clicked sample package a new box came up with an !! saying i can not place the order because i am inactive. Guess it will have to wait till i call HO monday. Just seems odd, that i did what they said, put in the july show Aug 4th and it was an $830. i KNOW it said in one of the weekly wires, that if you were inactive in July you could do the samples once you put in sales.
 
It's before the 10th of the month. Anything submitted before the 10th usually takes a while to hit the HO systems, as they finalize the previous month.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

Why can't I access sample packages after submitting late sales?

Sample packages are typically tied to specific sales periods. If your submission was late, it may not fall within the eligibility window for accessing those samples.

Is there a grace period for submitting sales to access sample packages?

Generally, there is no grace period for submitting sales. It's important to adhere to the deadlines set by Pampered Chef to ensure you can access sample packages.

Can I appeal the decision if I missed the deadline for sample packages?

While there may be no formal appeal process, you can reach out to your upline or customer service for guidance. They may provide options or advice on how to proceed.

What are the consequences of submitting late sales?

Submitting late sales can result in losing access to sample packages, as well as potentially affecting your commission and overall performance metrics for that period.

Are there any alternatives to accessing sample packages if I miss the deadline?

If you miss the deadline, you may consider purchasing samples directly or participating in future promotions that may offer sample packages again.
