Cake Testers: Where Can I Find Them and How Can I Get Them?

[PampMomof3]

So, most of you remember that i ordered the 100 cake testers on November 1st and a lot of you were sad that I beat you to it. :blushing: Well, I called today because my order is STILL showing Received. Well, the first woman I spoke to said that's strange b/c they're showing that they don't even have them in stock. She said she'd have to research it and call me back. Well, I have the privacy blocker and I just returned home and they called but weren't able to leave a message.

I just called again and the woman was all confused on what she needed to do. I told her I bought them from the outlet and there was no way for me to make up the item number or price or anything. They are so baffled at how I was able to do it that she said they'll have to see if they have ANY in the warehouse and call me back. I told her that our customers REALLY want these $1 testers back. She laughed and said she'd pass the message on.

I'll keep you updated on the cake tester dilemma.........:blushing:

Kristi, I too ordered the cake testers. But unlike you, I wanted to wait for other outlet items. So what I did (and looking back, may have been a smart move)...I had added 5 orders of cake testers to my cart. Later that day when I ordered the kids aprons, there were the cake testers still in my cart. I checked out and low and behold, my item is still showing "received". I will give it another day and call HO too.

Thanks for the heads up!

I ordered aprons on the 1st and they are at my house already.

 

[janetupnorth]

My guess is that as they were updating the outlet, they accidentally put that page up for about 15 minutes and you all ordered before they got it back down!!!!

 

[vwpamperedchef]

boo-hoo...im going to call now!

 

[jrstephens]

This will teach them to make a mistake won't it!!! we jump on things quick around here, HAHA!

 

[vwpamperedchef]

Yes--HO said they are a restricted item and cannot order it, so I got a refund. DARN IT! Next time Kristi I guess!

I'm going to keep an eye out for those buggers on Thursday...I'll let you know if I spot them... ...just out of sheer curiosity of if they even have them...

 

[PampMomof3]

Hey Janet, what are you doing on Thursday? Touring the HO warehouse?

Also, just got a phone call from HO, she said she was VERY sorry but they really don't have any! I told her to let Doris know that we would LOVE :love: to have them back in the catalog!!!

Why Thursday?

 

[Jules711]

I thought there was a 10 qty limit to each item per order. I know I tried to order more than 10 cran bar boards b/c I had people that wanted them, but I couldn't.

There is but the cake testers were sold in quantities of 10 in a package on our supply order.

Sure am! Leaving from here tomorrow at 1 to drive down - will be in the warehouse at 8 a.m. on Thursday. Don't ask me to divulge any true secrets though...I'll have to sign a confidentiality agreement when I get there. :angel:

Even without divulging the secrets, I am sure there will be plenty interesting to tell us. I look forward to it!

 

[Geekgirl69]

Still sounds awesome

Cake testers are still showing on outlet page!!Do they have them or not???

Thanks for the heads up!

I did the same thing and my order still says "received".

 

[vwpamperedchef]

Susan you have to call HO and they have to remove them and resend your order. Dumb, I know, but thats what you have to do.

 

[SusanBP0129]

Thanks Vanessa!
So we really arent's going to get them?
That stinks.

 

[cooking.with.ann]

I just saw them on the outlet--the regular outlet section of my PWS. Pack of 10 for $2.40.What's up with HO? Do they have cake testers, or not?

It's not on mine :cry: I looked on my PWS (like a customer would) and I looked in Outlet Samples on CC.....I wonder what is going on?! I'm planning to order the Kid's Apron & Hat so if the testers are there I'd like to do it all at once.

 

[SusanBP0129]

:cry: Just called HO. Had to cancel my order. She said the cake testers are NOT available.:cry:

 

[pamperedlinda]

That stinks! Did you ask them if that was a Halloween trick? LOL
They should know NOT to play tricks on a consultant by now.........

 

[Geekgirl69]

I went to check my pws outlet and I see them there too, picture and everything.

 

[cooking.with.ann]

I wonder if they are only available to customers, not to consultants, or if it's another website error?I haven't sent anything out to my customers about them. Glad I waited!

 

[climbercanoe3]

I'm thinking website error, because they are not on my PWS. I have not seen them on there since this discussion started.

 

[J.Corley]

Where is the outlet on our PWS

 

[climbercanoe3]

Go to your own PWS and click on not invited to a show. Once on the site look at the bottom left under all the different categories. You will see outlet. Let me know if that is confusing.

 

[ginamkiely]

i just ordered them as an individual order from my PWS... i ordered 10 sets of 10... just got the confirmation... i wonder if i'll ever get them

 

[DebbieJ]

Wow...they weren't there earlier today when I checked the outlet and now they are. Hmmm.....to order or not to order....

 

[ginamkiely]

i say order them... see what happens. this is so crazy, now you see them, now you don't! lol

 

[kspry]

Thanks! I just ordered some.

 

[vwpamperedchef]

ladies...your order will say received, UNTIL you call HO and then they will remove the cake testers and resubmit the order. Kristi and I have already been thru this!! Its aggravating, but HO won't call you === you have to call them.

 

[ginamkiely]

why are they toying with our emotions? don't they know how fragile we are about things like this? lol.

 

[pamperedlinda]

I see them too! Along with several other items.

 

[janetupnorth]

Maybe they legitimately added them this time and the ones who called just got a rep. who didn't understand. ...worth checking into...

 

[climbercanoe3]

Well now they are showing up on my PWS, as well as a bunch of other items. Pretty weird. Don't worry ladies I won't buy any.

 

[pamperedlinda]

I'm ordering! I'll let you know if I'm successful in getting them.

 

[kam]

Since we have to order them through our PWS - we don't get the $4 S&H??? I have only ordered from the outlet through CC.

It would be treated as an Individual order?? How does this work?

 

[ginamkiely]

should we call again or just leave our orders as is and see what happens?

also, are we only allowed to order 10 items TOTAL or 10 per prder?

 

[vwpamperedchef]

i will be buying them from one of you ladies if you can get them!

 

[ginamkiely]

IF i get them i will definitely let you know. (fingers crossed)

 

[J.Corley]

The BBQ tongs and turner are on there now? Anyone have luck ordering? Do you use someone elses name? Your own CC?

 

[vwpamperedchef]

this is a very suspenseful outlet this month!

 

[kam]

Caketesters:
OKay, I am tempted to put them under my mom's name so I can get a 10% PHD discount on them - but I feel bad about doing that.

But on the other side, if they were on OUR outlet we would be paying close to $2 (not $2.40) a set for them anyway AND only paying $4 shipping.

Am I wrong to do this?

 

[ginamkiely]

nope, i did it for the 10% off. (sorry)

 

[SPVA]

Family Quick Stir pitcher is also on there for $6.25... Very strange indeed, but none the less, I placed an order

 

[JTNT8704]

Mine are showing up, as well as the Family quick stir pitcher... However, I cant put either into my cart?

 

[ginamkiely]

did they JUST add that on there? that was not on there last time i was on there and now it is... how often do they update the outlet? i never really looked at it before and now it's my FAV place to go.
