Ok, does anyone know...Can a host of a show ( here in the USA) have guests order that live in Canada?
 
No. There are no cross-border sales allowed. If the host gets orders from Canadians, you won't be able to put those guests' address into P3.
 
Along the same lines... I'm assuming if we have someone who want's to host and lives in Canada, we can't do the show?
 
That's correct. But you can ask around here if there's someone in their area who can do the show. Then at least someone you (kinda) know will get it.

I'll do that if this gal ever really wants to host a show. She has said a few times she would do a catalog show for me, but when I ask again she has a good reason for not now. It is someone I met online a year& 1/2 ago when I was pregnant with my second.
 
the prices in Canada are WAY different! - it would get confusing - lol.
 
I had a host with an order from her Mom who lives in Arizona. We just couldn;t ship it there, her Mom had to get it when she came to visit.

Where in Canada is the guest? If she wants to book, I will do it if she is close enough!!
;)
 
Hi there! Yes, as a Pampered Chef consultant, I can confirm that it is possible for a host in the USA to have guests from Canada place orders. In fact, Pampered Chef has expanded its reach to Canada and we have many consultants and customers in Canada. Your guests can simply place their orders through your personal website or through you directly. Let me know if you have any other questions. Happy cooking!
