I am about to close a Wedding Shower show and the host has requested that the product be shipped with "Signature Required". She lives in a condo complex that requires the UPS driver be buzzed in. She works during the day and does not want the boxes left outside. She would rather have the UPS driver leave a note and she will pick them up at UPS. Can Pampered Chef do this and how?
 
I have no idea! I would call HO to see. I know that it is up to the UPS guy/gal whether the package is left. You and she could always track the shipment and call UPS a day or so before it goes out for shipment and ask that it be held at the distribution center for pick-up. Or, if you live in the same town as her, you could have it delivered to your house and arrange for her to pick it up from you.

Don't think this can be done. I would have it shipped to me and then call her to set up a delivery time.
 
I would do the same as Beth, actually I have all of my shows shipped to me now and I deliver the orders already bagged and my hosts love it!

I would have it delivered to me but the problem is she lives 2 1/2 hrs. away. I will call HO and see what they suggest.
 
I always have shows delivered to me for those that don't want or can't have boxes left for them while they are working. I bag them and arrange for them to pick it up. My hosts love that and then I get to check to make sure everything is there and make sure nothing is broken. If so I do an adjustment immediately for them.
 
Can she have it sent to her work? I've done this before for Hosts.

Or another friend or relative's home?
 
Could you have it shipped to her office instead?

I'll have to ask her about work or another friends home. She is a lawyer and probably wouldn't look good delivering to work.
