Unexpected Orders: A $100 Mistake to My Benefit?

[beckysuem]

Last week I got 12 online orders from all over the country (3 of them were cancelled). I didn't know any of the names and all of them opted out of giving me their contact info, so I have only addresses. It ended up being over $500 in sales!

I'm checking with a host on an open show I have. Perhaps 12 seperate people all entered their order without putting it on her show....I doubt it.

Otherwise, someone at the solution center said maybe it was just a glitch and I got all those orders from the main Pampered Chef website.

To me, it looks like fraud (all the orders were submitted on three different days but all were at 12AM exactly and most entered all their information in all caps or all lowercase--just looks like spam to me), but I was told not to worry about it, so I guess I won't and just enjoy the commision I received! Anyone ever had this happen?

If you look at your emails from h.o. about "online activity" you can tell if they come directly from your website (they'll be in a blue box) or if they are random part of the lead system (they'll be in a green box). If they've filled out the info and submitted the order who cares where they came from or where they're going. It's one of the perks of the biz.

I guess it was your lucky week. Just watch your commission statements because if the whole order gets returned PC will deduct the commission it already paid you. You should get an online activity e-mail notice (maybe you already got them with those 3 that cancelled) if the order gets cancelled before shipment.

I agree, just set that commission aside to see if there was a glitch were orders were being misdirected off various shows & thrown into the lead system. People might start sending back their shipment & asking for a refund because they ordered again under the host. YIKES! I hope it all works out for you & you get to keep the commission.

I had this happen to me!! I had about $900 in orders this way .... I think a couple of my consultants did too.

So, Michelle--you got a bunch of unexpected orders? Has anything happened with it?
