Greetings All,

I'm looking to become a consultant sometime early next year. I'm a former chef, look to cook, and still have/use some of my original Pampered Chef products from about 12 years ago.

I visit the PC website all the time checking out products, watch the videos, and look at the recipes. I was wondering if someone would be interested in sending me the latest catalog, and your website link? I loved to have a catalog to hold and I plan on placing a small order for Christmas.

Please PM if someone would like to do that. Thanks in advance!

Cheers!

Rick

I'm really not sure where to post this question. I am hoping someone can guide me into the right place. I have a host that wants the products sold at her party to be delivered to my house which is fine with me but when I try to place the orders and choose direct ship to shipping address with my name on 1st line of shipping address and my address on second line it charges everyone direct shipping instead of the basic shipping and handling. Does anyone have the answer to what I am doing wrong or can tell me how to fix this. Thank you. I am quite new. I have only be a consultant for about 2 months.
 
Congrats Rick on your decision to start your own Pampered Chef business! This forum is a wealth of information. You'll learn a LOT here! :Dpamperedapple: On the host order, mark "direct to shipping address" and put your info there. Then put "ship to host" on all the guest orders.

So - send it to the host's name then on Address Line 1 - write
c/o YourName PC Consultanton Address Line 2 - write your addressand continue with your address.I have a past host who went through an ugly divorce and just doesnt want anyone knowing where she lives right now, so I collect her items and drop them off for her. Good luck; let us know how it works out for you.

Don't change anything on the guest order screens. Leave it ship to host. On the host info screen mark ship to shipping address and put c/o (your name) in the first address line, then your address in the second, your city, state,zip. That will ship the whole show to you and not change the charges to anyone (except if your tax rate is different as tax is according to where the order is shipped).
