I had 2 friends who work in the same office that wanted me to order items from the outlet for them. I went on my PWS, placed the order, used her past host # which gave a discounted total, then I used the other friend's credit card to pay for it (first friend gave 2nd friend cash for her share). Anyways, it would not let me do c/o even though I used 1st friends name and ph number and my address (they wanted it delivered to me so I could bring it to the office). SO the total was $105 and some change. I submitted, no problem. The next day I got an email from HO about online activity. It listed it as individual orders (personal web site) and gave total of $85.27

I am confused. Wondering if anyone can explain this to me. TIA
 
it's b/c you don't make commission on tax and shipping
 
Yes, they're reporting the commissionable sales...product total.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did my outlet order total change after submission?

Your outlet order total may change after submission due to several factors, including adjustments for promotions, discounts, or shipping fees that were not calculated correctly at the time of order placement.

Can promotional discounts affect my order total after submission?

Yes, promotional discounts can affect your order total. If a promotion is applied after your order is submitted, it may lower your total. Conversely, if a promotion is no longer valid, it could increase your total.

What if I added items to my cart before submitting my order?

If you added items to your cart but did not finalize the order before submitting, the total may change if those items are no longer available or if their prices have changed since you added them.

Are there any additional fees that could change my order total?

Yes, additional fees such as shipping, handling, or taxes may not be fully calculated until after your order is submitted, which can result in a change to your total.

How can I verify the final order total after submission?

You can verify the final order total by checking your confirmation email or logging into your account on the Pampered Chef website, where you can view the details of your order and any changes made.
